early commute
thinking of younger sister
prayer song in the car

true gift from the Lord-
getting an extra half hour
before rising

icy morning
first dig out the move here
two years ago

wintery morning
enjoying second coffee
before going out

paperwork heaven
glad to be paid shuffle them
and come back tomorrow

end of long week
living room is still clean
cooked food in the fridge

morning commute
wishing for worship moment
and lottery numbers

morning surprise
complex maintenance men
to work on the list

after long weekend
getting back to library
and chatting up friends

holiday weekend
still having to run the plant
joy and rapture

last's chores-
swapping out mini blinds
and changing linen

today's planning-
long family weekend visit
can't wait to spoil them

another late night
reasoning with alarm clock
as it chirps

early commute
sister calls and says she took
a Mental Halth Day

full force winter
blasting through my jacket
as I rush to car

visit to nurse-
official start of diet

weekend plans
paying bills, doing laundry
and fantastic meals

evening off
plans to clean living room
and shred mail

sitting in office
blood pressure spiking
chocolate cravings

short time together-
the white cat no longer greets me
when I come home

four days later
Yuki is still mad at me
and not eating

*the white cat

getting the car back
it's more anxious than ever
to speed home
