People ask…and I lie!
It does not matter where or who, the first thing they ask, out of true concern
is “How are you doing?” My “go-to” answer is I am fine. That is what I want you to hear. But it is a lie. I am not fine. I did not go to a Christmas party last night
with wonderful art friends and gallery owners because I just could not face
them. I turned down an invitation to
another party next weekend for the same reason. (That and I should not be
driving at night, or at all for that matter!) I fell flat on my tail bone in the bathtub this
week (not a pretty picture) and it still hurts like the dickens, the cat drug
in another rat, a leftover from the now-empty hoarder house next door, and I
came as close to passing out, without actually collapsing, chasing him and the
rat back outside. The house inspection for new homeowners’ insurance did not go
well, because so many building codes have changed and the house is 50 years
old. My TV remote quit working and I cannot understand what the technical
support people are asking me to do to fix it….thank goodness for Roku, at least
I can change the channels. Just another
normal week without you, I am fine....but I lie.
