you'll strain something
This morning I woke up late and got out of bed to grab a cup of coffee. Ali woke up and grabbed my hand:
"Do you still love me?" he asked
"Of course."
"Even after last night?"
"Uh, what happened last night?"
____
Last night we went to dinner at Chuy's with old friends. Tukong friends, drinking friends. Afterward we smooshed into Ali's car and picked up some Spike and Mike's Twisted Animation 3-D DVDs and glasses. Upon the return home, I watched the boys drink everything in sight. Then I went to bed, and they kept drinking. And now Ali's poisoned but good, unable to hold anything down, face any of the beautiful day's sunlight or go for our planned 3 mile run.
____
Last night my friend Chris said now that he's the breadwinner now that his husband, Glenn, is unemployed. Glenn yelled from the living room, "BREAD! HA! Very tiny croutons, that's what he brings home!"
____
This morning, while the boys were tag-teaming in the bathroom throwing up, I went for a run and stumbled upon a gravel trail near our house. It made for a lovely run, and I felt: alive, shooting pains of joy, short of breath, proud of my body, like I was going to die, strong, thirsty, happy.
