Gift cards were stolen.

Bank card was hacked.

Credit card was destroyed.

All the cash was used.

Barter is no longer acceptable.

What else can I do for food?

Gathering up all the garbage.

Sifting through the paper for the extra batteries.

Finding one of your missing slippers.

Taking a small break from cleaning the kitchen.

Getting someone (anyone) else to wipe down the bathroom.

Smiling at the memories made.

One more year gone by.

One day a year.

I want me to be put first.

I don’t need to be praised.

I would like to be fussed over,

but reality often checks that.

I am likely to only receive

texts wishing me a Happy Birthday.

Smile at your neighbours.

Greet them as you would a friend.

Talk to your friends

Telling them about how you feel about them.

Connect with your family,

Whether by blood or by choice

And let them see you are alright.

Pet problems

Are not always obvious.

Though sometimes

They can be smelled.

The threat hangs.

Military personnel gather at the border.

One day, we will be invaded.

Everyone ignored the signs.

Except for I.

The days

to be able to soak

and sit enjoying the warm water.

Watching tutorials.

Techniques to try.

Practice and begin.

Results will vary.

All in the eye of the beholder.

Perusing the cards.

Debating the traits.

Suggestions thrown out.

Looking at the characters.

Deciding that the only ones to play

Are the ones where we can enjoy ourselves.

Vacation.

Relaxation.

Work to be done.

Food to be cooked.

Messes to clean.

Things to be packed.

Help is wanted

but nobody thinks I need it.
