Black.

No, a double shot. Maybe both.

Or should I just take a nap?

A nap sounds nice.

But I don't have time for a nap.

I should switch the laundry.

The trash needs to be taken out too

Did I pay the power bill?

I need to clean the girls bathroom.

Now the baby is awake.

She didn't sleep long.

So much for taking a nap.

Maybe I should just have some coffee.

Black.

No, a double shot.

I'll just do both.

nap.

But I would take a free vacation.

Preferably international.

Anywhere really.

As long as it's a place where my life isn't threatened by virtue of me simply being there.

That would not be a vacation.

And I probably would have a hard time sleeping.

Which is what I really need.

A nap.

I need a romantic.

I know you're in there.

To hold.

To play with.

Toy with.

Candles.

Ridiculously scented candles.

Vanilla Dreams.

Pumpkin Spice.

And corny love notes.

Why do you stop when you have me?

So comfortable.

Lazy.

Stuck in a rut.

Sweep me off my feet.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Don't.

Stop.

Push me against the wall.

Hold my chin.

Don't.

Stop.

Ever.

Even when we are gray and tired.

Reach for my hand.

Blow me a kiss.

Send me a wink.

Shower my forever in flowers.

I need...

Time off from this drama,

A room of soliloquy,

Control over my life.

I need... To stop being everyone's hero and start being my own.

But no one is coming

Don't they see I can't go on?

I'm being weighed down

If someone could just help me move forward...

No

No!

If no one will come, I'll do it myself!

One

Foot

In

Front

Of

The

Other

One step at a time

I will not die here

And they can see that I will go on

Coffee

Hug

Gin and tonic with extra lime

Nap

Distraction

Massage
