When I woke up this morning, there was a woman in bed with me. Instead of
the_original1's torn jeans and witty t-shirts, there were flowing skirts and patterned, gauzy shirts in the dresser drawers and in the closet. I had to push aside lipstick and mascara in the medicine cabinet to get at my toothpaste. It's not my makeup. I don't wear the stuff. There was a note on the kitchen table in a cutesy, somehow happy script, asking me to pick up cigarettes on the way home. I kicked aside her black, scuffed combat boots with the hot pink skull and crossbones hand painted on the toes to get out the door.
I wonder what the kids will make of her.
I hope she doesn't mind I borrowed her clothes.
Today is Rabbit Hole Day. Thanks to
bibliogrrl for reminding me.
