It was a

grey sky and fog, an

it rained all day, a

water flicked by your shoes onto the back of your thighs, a

frozen burritos and tater-tots for lunch, an

i really enjoy laughing with these kids, an

"I make juice," an

umbrellas hanging from the window bars, a

there's a leak in our roof, an

i think i'll cook dinner tonight, an

i met my nephew for the first time, an

over a skype conversation, an

i talked to my sister and her kids, an

i want to share coffee with my brother, a

greg zajicek motivational conversation, an

i miss teaching history, an

i'm neck deep in a presentation i should be preparing for, a

no i won't cook dinner tonight, a

there's always love at Mariah's comedor, a

sure why not, my body can handle entirely fried food, an

if you add enough sugar to corn-hash drink, it'll taste pleasing, an

i don't want to do this alone and

i wish i knew how to tell her so,

kind of day.
