‘Can you be home after 2 pm Saturday?’
‘Definitely!’
Time
Counted in sneezes and sniffles
while I puttered and cleared space
Counted in tissues and wrapped in warm fuzzes ~
while I went through papers and files
Counted in cups of tea with honey and lemon
while I ate soup and a sandwich
Counted in naps in the rocking chair
while Cuban jazz played on the radio
Interrupted by the doorbell!
My new chair (it swivels) delivered! Yay!!
“‘Tis healthy to be sick sometimes.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
