Waiting

It feels like I’ve spent the past year waiting.  I’ve waited in the car countless times while one of my cats is at the vet.

I’ve waited for packages to be delivered and food and grocery deliveries.

I’ve waited for the doctor to call with test results, hoping for good news and fearing the worst.

I’ve waited to go urgent care after I fell down the stairs because I wasn’t sure if I could even be seen.

I waited for the election results to be called and then again for the inauguration.

Now I’m waiting for warmer weather and my turn to get the vaccine so I can stop waiting to see family and friends.

I’m waiting for this f#cking pandemic to end, for the freedom to start living a more normal life.

And right now, on a Tuesday morning before work, I’m waiting for the weekend.

What are you waiting for?

Making this photo was a lot of fun.  It took me back to my theatre days – sourcing props and costumes,  doing hair and make-up,  building a set and working with lighting.  Except this story is captured in a fraction of second (one-sixth of second to be precise) instead of in five acts.

Since it took so long to get everything set up, I thought I’d have some fun with the set before tearing it all down.  I think the photograph with the wine and my phone is a more accurate representation of my last year. 🙂

This is the meme from @attorneyproblems that inspired the photograph.
