rehearsal night
reminding myself gremlins
need a real tight leash

hump day......
three straight twelve hour shifts
dragging home

second sleepless night
puzzles and romance novels
not soothing today

weekend work
getting up the strength
to do some chores

struggling with loss-
remembering cousin's smile
lovin' my sisters

call late last night-
lost cousin in colonoscopy
trying to get it

birthday plus one
philly cheesstak and prtezels
humming down the halls
