My day has felt
like a shrug.
Not bad, just--shrug.
I read more
than I thought I would.
I cleaned less
than I thought I would.
I thought about
organizing.
And organized
nothing.
I sheltered in place
for a tornado warning.
It was short,
no damage.
I watched two episodes
of a show.
I ate good meals.
not fancy.
I talked to my mom
three times.
I let the dogs out
a dozen times.
I got groceries,
just a pickup.
I hydrated.
I sat.
I napped.
I sliced.
Shrug.
We all have days like this. I love how you captured the mundane-ness of the day in such a clever, descriptive way. I especially loved these lines: "I read more/than I thought I would./I cleaned less /than I thought I would./I thought about /organizing./And organized /nothing." That about sums up my day!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the most ordinary day is the just right day. With some editing turn the shrug into a hug.
