h.a.l.T.

In my defense, I was really tired when I got to the Monday Knights AA meeting. I was already sitting at my table when Sue walked in with Baby Katie.  Katie held out her arms. I put her on my shoulder.

Sue smiled at me. She patted her belly. “Guess what,” she said.

“You want to go to the gym with Billie and me?” I said, yawning. “Listen, exercise is a great way to lose weight, but diet is more important.”

“What? Wait, no, I’m pregnant, you boob!”

“Congratulations,” I said but it was too late. When Billie and Kim arrived they took turns hugging Sue and glaring at me.

“I’m really tired,” I said to nobody in particular. 

Tonight, come hell or high water, I will get a good night’s sleep.
