Day #013

“Quarantine” Day #013

  1. In the four o’clock morning hour, wake from dream of Puck wrestling giant fish, to hear the cat vomiting on the floor… again
  2. In the six o’clock morning hour, wake from dream of wagons chasing each other on high cliff trails in the Old West, James Bond style, to the car alarm blaring on the Pacifica in the driveway, for no apparent reason
  3. Drive through southern Illinois in the rain while listening to Covidfest; Oxbear pauses between two fields to help a Super 8 employee having car trouble

When Yali woke that morning, fever free for over 24 hours, he was released back into the wild…

Patience : “Can I hug him?”

Collette : “You may.”

Patience : threw her arms around Yali; “I missed you!”

Yali : returned the hug; “I missed you!”

Thus began a great screaming laughing chasing each other around the house rejoicing fest.
