And with a phone call

And with a phone call I learn that it’s all over.  The present is once again the future, not the musty creaking past.  The lights are on, the sink is clean, the dishwhacker is doing its filthy business, and now the land line has been reestablished.  New jack outlets were installed throughout the flat, and only 2 hours into the “8 am to 6 pm” repair window, the repairs are complete.  PLUS I have a clicker for the car.  PLUS the new catbox is working out better than we’d hoped.  (We’ve learned not to expect much from Rufus cat’s litter habits.) PLUS I just got a big messy phone call for work out of the way and it was surprisingly productive.  PLUS my allergy medicine is kicking in and making me all cheerful and warm.  How could life possibly get any better?  No - better not to know - let me just bask in the moment and ask for nothing more....
