Fawlty Showers

Treat

When noon rolled around,  I had a hundred reasons to work through lunch.

I had to finish the workbook.

I had to find out what was happening with the agency.  

I had to figure out my next move.

I had frozen meatballs and a jar of store-brand spaghetti sauce waiting for me in the kitchen.

“Sometimes, you just gotta treat yourself,” I said to M.A. and Cuddles. “To make good times more memorable, and bad times tolerable.”

I called Dr. Deb. “Lunch ?”

“Sounds great!” she said.

I smiled as she told me about her day. In 2025 we had been together 36 years, married for 34.  Lunch with her was still a treat.

Today I’ll treat myself.
