Making It Up As I Go Along #487

Limbo

Hearing No is not hell

Hell is the Yes that hangs

Forever in Limbo

Awaiting the result to follow the word

No brings closure

Allows you to move on

Things move forward

Disappointment fades to opportunity

Limbo Yes brings waiting

Everything stops dead

A holding pattern

Where fear gnaws at nerves

When Limbo Yes turns to No

Wasted weeks waiting

No plans can be made

Powerlessly holding on as deadlines tick closer

TUESDAY…

--- Cold morning with heavy frost to scrape off the car.  Fairly quiet work day followed immediately by physio… home for cereal supper and a little TV for only a couple of hours before bed.

WEDNESDAY…

--- Snow.  Drive in is a bit messy. 

--- Some after work TV as it’s time to stay up late again… first night after days is often a tiring fight of the bed.

THURSDAY…

--- Lunch with Karl followed by afternoon nap and night shift.  Pretty tired by the time I hit bed in the morning.

FRIDAY…

--- Awake around 10:30 but snooze in bed, in and out, until almost 1:00 PM.  Some TV during the day before night shift number two.

--- So tired of the house selling.  Today was supposed to be the deadline on things but their side needs a bit more time to get things in order and now we wait until Tuesday.  The last week or so has been limbo hell.

--- I leave work early.  Stomach isn’t in good shape this evening.  Not sure if it’s a bug, bad oranges, or stress from the last few weeks of real estate and shoulder discussions… but either way, the call of bed comes about three hours earlier than it otherwise would.

SATURDAY…

--- Bad sleep and I do nothing for the day… lots of sofa time.  Fever and a touchy stomach… for the day I eat two bowls of cereal and some toast.

SUNDAY…

--- Wake up feeling better again.  No more hot and cold… feel a bit warm from time to time through the day but nothing too bad… and my stomach feels alright again.  Although I decide not to push it too hard too fast and skip out on the KFC Grey Cup tradition.  Game is a dud too and I quite as soon as I see the Mounties parade the cup onto the field with six minutes to play.  Sometimes the Red Surge just looks ridiculous.  Sports trophy parading is one of those times.

MONDAY…

--- Physio… a pond walk… a nap… some TV… a pretty basic day off.
