I sit here in the den.
Having my meowning coffee.
Eeyore cup from the time I went to Disney World.
Yes, in my younger years, I did travel a bit.
I watch the rain drops fall.
And, were they ever.
Drip, drip and pour.
Jodie Belle is napping.
One eye always open.
Like dogs do.
Meredith Ann is by the door.
Looking at the hallway.
Always knowing who's coming by.
Meaning, she needs to know where her fellow cat mates are.
She's just an organized kitty cat.
Nah, she doesn't like her bros much.
Unless, I'm wrong and hissing is a sign of love.
Me, I'm having sliced strawberries and banana.
My son went to the store for me last night.
It was really for him but he asked if I wanted anything.
That way I pay for things and he gets his junk foods.
I've tried with him but those goldfish still follow him home.
At least he's getting the whole wheat kind.
As my world continues on, my heart is beating wildly with it.
The last week or so I've been humming to my own tunes.
This heart of mine has a plan.
Go fast.
Reminds me of Ricky Bobby with his new friend, Karen.
(You'd have to have seen the car scene in the movie.)
My normal heart Dr. told me that I was fine.
I'm on meds twice a day.
My heart beats twice as fast as normal.
Thus, when I've had my two kidney surgeries,
I wake up to many people.
My heart Dr. has been er called to see me.
(he's in the same hospital)
I go to the critical care unit.
Whatever that means.
I have code blue and greys heard around me.
(Not me, the rooms next to me.)
(Not me, the rooms next to me.)
And, yet I'm told nothings wrong with my heart.
My special special heart Dr. wants to operate.
Two things he wants to fix.
Only my normal heart Dr. says it's too risky.
Why not just take meds and beat away.
Oh these Dr's.
What to they know ?
It's fun being in a battle with your own old body.
So, I will just try not to pass out.
I do that from time to time.
(not this year but several times previously)
I will drink my coffee and enjoy the day.
And, I will always be reminded that today is special.
As my heart reminds me to name that tune.
Remember to dance. Even for a moment.
