Friday the 13th

Sunshine. Cold. Hints of Spring about to come or soon to come. Vacation soon and that means more sunshine, beach, family—his. A reminder of my family long gone. How strange it is to have no family and to borrow someone else’s. It feels like that. A bit of a dance. We are not kids. His mother is not my in-law though we have more in common than sisters it turns out. There is one of the funny things about being older.

Work is hard now. Recession real. Always the hint of a phone call or lab report that could derail us at any moment. Lately I have worried about my health not his. That’s a first and maybe having seen up close-- once again --what illness can do I don’t want to go back there?

I’m glad it’s Friday. March is a tease. Never the right coat. Come weekend come.
