Five Things On This Wonderful Friday…

by

1. I have two days off this weekend. Two whole days. IN A ROW. TWO, FULL, COMPLETE PERIODS of twenty-four hours one after the other.

WITHOUT GOING TO WORK. Or school. Or the placement school.

I don’t have to leave my home for any reason. I don’t have to get dressed, put on underpants, wash any part of my body, or behave in a manner that is even close to being socially appropriate.

If I choose, I can go and visit my horse and hope that in his joy to be making contact with a human being after so long, he doesn’t climb right on top of me and cause my death from standing on top of my head.

I can go duck hunting. I can sit by the river in the freezing cold, chain smoking and waiting for dawn to break so I can load my weapon — before I start chain smoking again.

Dear God. It will be great.

2. There will be drinking.

3. I will sleep. And if I can’t sleep?

It won’t matter, because I can spend my afternoon napping, anyhow.

4. I’m going to eat a whole buttload of turkey and stuffing and all that kind of wonderful crap. After I’m done eating, I’m going to curl up on the couch and take a nap with the dogs.

5. Not a single cow will look at me with a blank stare, wondering why, after all these years, I am in contact with a cow. Because my weekend will contain no cows.
