Get Into The Groove

After lay-offs at work and trying to get the heroin addict kicked out of our basement we settled down for our Long Winter's Nap late in December.

"These holiDAZE we will rest."

"Except we have to plan our wedding."

"Right."

"And schedule all those doctor's appointments to discuss 'family planning'."

"Of course."

"And I should start working out more."

"We all should."

"And write more."


"Uh. Huh."

"And get the papers together for the audit."

"Yep."

"And the new Hotel Room project."

"Sure."

"Catch up on my books. Get a plan together for a new career. Clean out the closet. And sewing. Cook a little more. Take the dog to the vet. New Year's resolutions. Be better."

"Here is the gun."

"Thank you."

I am finding that two weeks paid vacation is absolutely all I dreamt it would be and more. I am feeling more rested, focused, creative and actually looking forward to joining the world again.

After I watch Desperately Seeking Susan.

One. More. Time.
