early afternoon

in a lazy, daydreaming consciousness,
somewhere between sleeping and waking,
i got what i thought was an email alert
from a friend in california.

i went to the computer but
there was no such message.
so much for prognostication.
my subconscious must have been
hungry for a little attention.

went to town early this morning
on the bus. took care of some
business for mother.

tomorrow it will be very cold.
thursday i'll go to the county hospital
just to register in case
i need a little dental work.

i'm sorry if this post seems boring;
there's really not much happening here.

had chicken and dumplings for lunch.
just woke up from a little nap.
feel good about what i managed
to accomplish this morning.
