dread

Anew friend. 

To show the kids. 

Cactus wall

Gags with gaiters 

The kids wrote BamBam 

A birthday card. 

They miss him. 

Covid turned nurses 

Into medical hoarders. 

Every nurse stashes their own 

And lets everyone else 

Fends for themselves. 

So the dread. 

I agreed to go 

On a trip. 

A good trip. 

To see Katerina in Evita! 

My new purse 

Just for the trip 

Every time I take a trip

I buy a different suitcase. 

Trying to get one just right. 

We shall see. 

This backpack acts more 

Like a suitcase. 

More Shrimp. 

Still about 30 carbs …

50 carbs a day. 

I slept so hard, 

 didn’t even roll over. 

I get so anxious about traveling 

I have to calm myself down
