just for now

It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
(if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here
I know we've all had a bumpy ride
(I’m secretly on your side)

( How did you know? )

Me: I'm getting maudlin in my old age.
rojagato: Is that what they're calling it these days?

Mom's getting a fancy Brookstone electric back massager. Dad's getting a fine digital point-and-shoot. Both gifts are wrapped up, topped with a handmade card, waiting to come with me to my parents' house in North Attleboro tomorrow. I feel intense boredom and slight melancholia just thinking about it. Christmas with my parents is a gentle but firm psychological endurance test.

Been home all day, in torpor. I could use a run, but it's gross outside, so I'll lift, instead.

Where are you? Have you left home? Comment here, with your physical location. *yawn*
