Today is Thursday
I’m certain of it
Thursdays Mom calls
after her hair appointment
But she hasn’t called
and I can’t find that show
I watch on Thursday nights
Did they change the programming?
And then I remember
that garbage goes out
Thursday night
and so I scramble, but
everyone else has forgotten
how can this be?
Today is Thursday
and nothing is going right.
(For Reena’s Xploration Challenge: featured image is prompt. I suffer from inflammation on the brain, which at times affects my understanding of reality – especially when I’m overtired. During these times, my mind will lock on to what it believes to be true, even if I’m totally off base. Reena’s image reminded me of those days.)
It could have been a Sunday or other public holiday 🙂 Devices work better than calendars.

That must be very frustrating at times. You’ve captured the sense of unease/certainty very well here.

Thanks Heather. I think it’s more frustrating for my husband who tries to tell me otherwise, and then embarrassing for me when I recognize the gaff.
