Week of Adventures

Once again, I sit amidst my colorful sea
no longer looming ominously
whispering in my ear that they will be
muscled around in the not too distant future
They sit mute
patiently waiting to be emptied.

The rain gently falls outside my window
as I plot and scheme
my plan of action for the week.
Department of Motor Vehicles
Walmarts
dinner at mother's.
Everything is painstakingly orchestrated
so as not to waste a drop
of the precious energy I don't have.

Jai snuffles her new domain
and seems content
as there are many natural televisions (windows)
that she can perch herself on
so that the local squirrels and birds
can be scrutinized
and compared to those from the South.
A fine way for her to take a break
from feverishly reminding the world of her belongings
by rubbing cheeks over everything.

I am interrupted from my scheming
by a rumble from my belly
now I ponder what to fill it with
and decide on a tuna sandwich
now where is the bin with the canned goods?!
