From The Slippers To The Sidewalk
Hello world, I don’t feel like being judged today. That’s okay, you go ahead, I’m used to it.
Yes, I slept late. No, I didn’t make any money. But I eradicated disease and brought light to the world! The cat was sicker than I realized, it’s good to see him back to his old self. It’s more than good, it’s more than money, it’s more than being on time, it’s more than dinner tasting good. It’s like how Christmas lights used to look in the days before electric bills.
Yes, dinner burned. No, I don’t mind. Dinner won’t burn tomorrow. When you get to my age you know how much the Christmas lights cost to run and that five dollar veggie patties burn, but on days like this, world, you don’t care. I eradicated disease and brought light to the world.
Our lights aren’t much to look at, so I’ve been told. A socket was chewed off one icicle years ago by a puppy who grew into a dog who likes those lights just fine, and loves her cats, and doesn’t mind if dinner burned, and time? Doesn’t matter.
My world’s good.
