october 26







He’d had a good week all in all, but he wasn’t looking forward to the weekend.....there was a nagging feeling in the back of his mind......

Friday night on the way home he stopped and picked up a pizza, not something he usually ate but he sure didn’t feel like cooking, or even heating something up. The next to last stop was for beer, (he was trying to cut down on the hard stuff) then the post office...but only for the bills he knew he’d find there...he forcibly stopped his mind from going where it wanted to go...it was just to pick up the bills.

..........brought in the bag with the beer, balancing the pizza, mail on top of the box....almost dropped the whole damn thing...time he got to eat there was more cheese on the top of the box than on what he was eating...he opened a beer and guzzled half the bottle as he sifted through the junk mail and the bills...he wasn’t looking for anything else, not looking for a postcard..........and good thing ‘cause there wasn’t anything there.......

He set the bottle on the table and leaned back against the fake-paneled wall.....when was this gonna stop? But maybe he didn't want it to.......

He swallowed what was left in the bottle, then took out the JD from the cabinet next to the stove and poured a glass....and knew what he’d be doing for the rest of the night, maybe tomorrow, too, and it was all right with him....sometimes it happened like this......he kept the old postcards pretty close by.....each one bringing with it a separate, distinct memory......and if he couldn’t remember exactly what went with that card....that trip.....he’d use a different memory........one just as good.....

He’d had a good week, so he couldn’t complain........some days were better than others..........the memories were always good....

I worry for Ennis's liver.

hey, if it ain't liver disease, it's lung cancer

if it ain't that, it's heart disease,

if it ain't that a horse kicks him

if it ain't that a tire blows up.......

I can't fault Ennis for drinking this weekend. It's a tough weekend for him to get past and if being in a drunken stupor helps him this time, then go for it.

When life gives us not a lot we can dwell on memories and they give us comfort and joy but, the reality of missing and losing someone it is hard to replace and most of the time we can never fulfill this loss. Time moves on slowly and then we slip into that neverending sleep. Joe

Ennis trying to not think about finding one of Jack's postcards in the mail. So sad. :(

Another good one!.
