The clock on the kitchen stove read 7:02. I filled the coffee cup left over from last night with cold coffee from the pot, also left over from last night. I put it in the microwave for exactly 1 minute and 15 seconds. I went to the bathroom then came back, got my coffee from the mic, added creamer and sweetener, then retrieved the wireless phone from its charging base. I carried my coffee and the phone back to the room I've been using in the house of my Mother and Step-father.
I logged in to take calls on Keen, then began looking around for the materials to roll a cigarette. My papers were missing. I thought they might be somewhere in the bed, so I began looking in the bed. I took each blanket off of the bed and folded it. I took the top sheet off the bed and folded it. Still nothing. I pulled the bed out away from the wall. There they were, on the floor between the wall and the bed. They weren't the only thing there.
I found a couple of Mother's Day cards from Jade to her mom. "Roses are red, violets are blue, I <3 U Mom, and hope U <3 me too!" There was also a baby t-shirt thing and a little picture album forgotten and left behind by my daughter and granddaughter, Angel and Lily. The things we find beneath a bed.. echos.. forgotten and left behind.
Good news is that I have a job starting in March if I don't chicken out. Its hard work and doesn't pay much, but could be fun. More on that once it materializes.
