Maggie is away for the holidays caring for her ailing Mother and so I was forced to fend for myself. So the day starts, and of course the tone of it is set long before the sun can improve its countenance. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and about the only traditional part of it for me was the fact that I over indulged….food wise that is. Consuming far more pork roast than most do on Thanksgiving. Meaning this mornings ritual was particularly comfortable until the last moment when my sleepy eyes locked unwavering on the empty brown cardboard tube devoid of so much as a single square. While the eyes were on the cardboard roll the mind had already raced to the cupboard at the furthest point in the house where the spare rolls were inappropriately kept.
”Bitch…this sucks”. Normally I might have just called out…….
“Maaag…. Maggie get me a roll “ and then I would have had to listen to the bitchin for a while as my inattention has caused her some discomfort……but that sure beats crap out of the alternative.
So this just goes to show, loved ones aren’t necessarily missed the most on Holidays….they can be missed the most any day, day or night.
Hope ya had a nice Thanksgiving
