early morning battle
trying to get out of bed
bills tip the scales

weekend afternoon
long bus ride back home
lost in a book

funeral visit prep
laundry, hair done and sleep
on call for family

midday call
aunt past away last evening
the world gets blurry

after long weekend
manager task still undone
desk full of stuff

family visit-
older aunts that's failing
memory lane stroll

bone tired-
blinking slowly at red lights
caffeine jolts

early morning
explaining to the cats
I want to sleep in

in and out of dreams
sorting out my subconscience
and planning the day

early to work
beautiful sunrise
over the trestle

oversleeping
the cats urgent about breakfast
crawling out of bed

morning drive
scent of roseses
follows me to the car

late night read
1800's Washington State
a great escape

after weekend
cleaned living room and kitchen
bedroom still needs work

weekend minus ten minutes-
cleaning the desk

after long shift
cooking dinner and cleaning
clean kitchen emerging

garden find-
coral hibiscus, red lantana
and a great chat

spending the evening
back tracking my errands
to save a buck twenty five

weekend chuckle
getting time out from three year old
for not listening
