new year's eve
sweeping out the old nonsense
making way for calm

early night-
trying to cut a cold off
before it's full blown

long drive home
dialouge heard in my head
starting new do list

after work plan...
Whole Foods run to clear my head
good read to destress

storm on the way
no milk and bread in the stores
ice melt in car trunk

oversleeping
telling myself "We Like Work"
as I brush my teeth

evening chores...
family Christmas cards
and living room clean

busy weekend-
Christmas music and new books
yule time diversions

long week's end-
dinner and a warm blanket
calling to me

second watch reading
enjoying the night's quiet
as I set up project

unebelievable
one thing off my dream list
relishing the moment

running all day
ordering Chinese take out
for breakfast

family weekend-
celebrating life and death
and Mommy time

long weekend's eve-
catching up on chores

late night cleaning
unearthing the coffee table
stove top gleaming

just before rush hour
extra merge time
on route 40 East
