Array ( [sid] => 181700 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Necessary [time] => 2015-09-01 19:23:00 [hometext] => Recovering in leisure, til the bubble pops! [bodytext] => Back to work next week, oh dear!
How I will miss being here.

Padding round in my pajamas;
Like some well-kept sugar’s mama!

Sleep til 10; nap at noon.
Watching Gunsmoke and cartoons.

Puppy snoring next to me;
Offering dog-style empathy.

Eventually, if time bequeaths;
I may even brush my teeth.

Phone don’t ring; door don’t knock;
Cover mirrors, hide the clocks!

Taking meds that make me loopy;
Washed down with dry toast and soupy.

Dishes, laundry, have to wait;
I’m set on “procrastinate”.

Monday there’ll be hell to pay;
For all the time I’ve been away.

No more naps or snacks for me;
Nose to grindstone, yesireee!

Perhaps my work-a-holic fairy;
Thinks I should be necessary!

How else can I explain this quirk—?
I can’t wait to get back to work!

But for now I’ll drown my guilt;
Beneath the silence of my quilt!

In hopes ambition’s appetite;
Won’t keep me up the whole damn night!

Great write.
You make it sound fun but it's not.
If you have no financial woes it's okay.
So well written I got a flashback.
