Since our last visit, I have been busier than usual. Life’s parade includes events of joy, like a son’s wedding (exhilarating, but tiring). Life also throws you a curve ball, such as the funeral for a beloved brother-in-law (COVID-19 strikes again). Mix in a full-time job, a couple of side gigs, and a rainy September encouraging lush green grass to grow, and I’m that dog chasing his tail, nonstop.
In the midst of it all, I needed a long nap. I left my cellphone in another room, safely out of earshot. My aching bones were quietly rejuvenating, and I was deep into dream land. Then it happened. The obnoxious ringing sound of my landline phone.
