morning commute

singing "Carol of the Bells"

to the radio

racing toward weekend
after long shift at work
kitty food run

early commute
enjoying singing out loud
at the traffic lights

today's blessing
Thanksgiving invite
and no cooking

this week's to do
planning Thanksgiving dinner
for just myself

help me Jesus
to see you clearly
in the coming days

evening commute
pulling up my turleneck
against the cold

relaxed weekend
no chores for two whole days
aggresive resting

stessing over life
in the midst of the planning
counting my blessings

needing a plan
what is the bare bones
of stuff I must have

trying to sleep in-
Yuki* insists on breakfast
and that he loves me



* the white cat

yesterday's nightmare
crashing on the highway
almost coming true

long weekend eve-
enjoying a quiet plant and
maintenance recap

setting up for weekend-
packing for two trips
and a cat sitter

sitting at the desk
remebering my father
and crying for him

planning for next year
trying to capture on paper
all my stuff of life
