oprah 17



His back hurt like hell this morning, took him a couple minutes before he could even sit up on the side of the bed, wincing and swearing every second.

He considered not going to work, didn’t seem to be much point since he couldn’t move without enormous pain, and sure wouldn’t be any help to anybody like that.

But then he started thinking if he stayed here and couldn’t sleep, he’d just be alone and thinking about things he didn’t want to think about.

God knew he couldn’t watch TV; did that once when he stayed home with the flu when he was still married and thought he’d put his fist through the damn TV, listening to a bunch of crazy women crying, or worse, he thought he remembered something about a woman who’d turned into a man...no, thanks.

Shuffling to the bathroom, eyes on the floor because he couldn’t straighten up all the way, he figured working through a little pain had to be better than that shit.

Yep being alone in pain or at work in pain are hard choices and sometimes we pick the work over loneliness but so sad he has to live this way. Joe

Just wanted to let you know I am reading all the bits you're putting out there. You're going gangbusters lately girl! Are you even sleeping??

The Oct drabbles are fascinating; some very sad, some quite funny like this one.

Thanks for sharing all your creativity.

Susan

PS - "April, Come She Will" always gets me weeping.

Evenin'.

Well, also letting you know I've been reading these and enjoying these daily vignettes into Ennis' life after Jack. He pushes forward, looking for ways to avoid the loneliness, unable and unwilling to find any other to fill the void. Pain can numb, but for Ennis never enough to numb the memories. Like your choices of music, too.

Thanks again.

Me neither, Ennis; no way I could watch daytime TV!

Thanks for your vignettes! They are quite real.
