It Has Always Been

S.E. Bourne

It has always been scary. The fear always high and heavy with me.

I thought I was waking up to Sunday.

It is only 7:45pm on Saturday.

I have been in bed all week. Working from my iPhone able to bill 3700.00 for the month.

My cholesterol is very high.

Inflammation and autoimmune tests that I ordered via Quest and presented to my doctor go with out review despite my requests for additional tests.

They think I am mad.

They aren’t perhaps far from wrong.

There is not a soul that can save me — but me.

I will take more pills to sleep till tomorrow.

Tomorrow I do all the dishes.

I gather my laundry.

I pull out the window AC from the cubby and I clean it and leave on chair in bathroom to install on Monday.

If I can do more — I will.

Monday I get my script filled at CVS.

I focus on cleaning the rest of the apartment.

I vacuum.

I do my email job.

I clear off my Pilates reformer that I haven’t used in three years.
