A Day in the Life


Tis the season of giving and sharing so I asked a friend to guest blog! Friends give support, love and shared experiences. Here is the voice and story from my friend TJ.

Intro
 After years of steady work, my company closed the division that employed me. The negative economic impact on my life was expected.  The negative effect of too much free time on a Type A personality was devastating.  Fortunately, I still have a dependent relying on me for their everyday needs.  Did I say “fortunately”?

A Day in the Life

      “Now I can't go.”
“Just relax. Don't worry.  I'll hold the door closed,” I sighed as the door at the end of the row opened.
The mother ushering her little girl out of the bathroom stall gave me a knowing, sympathetic smile.
“But I can't,” came the soft response.
Silence, as minutes passed and finally, the desired tinkling sound. The swishing of pants moving could be heard.

'CLINK!' the most dreaded sound of all filled the empty public restroom...the sound of the lock on the inside of the stall door dropping onto place.
“I can't get the door open!” panic won and the door began rattling.
Calmly I explained in the simplest terms how to unlock the door...again (rattle, rattle, rattle) and again
(rattle, rattle, rattle)...and patience vanishes.

“IF YOU THINK I AM CRAWLING ON THE FILTHY FLOOR OF THIS GROCERY STORE BATHROOM TO GET YOU OUT, YOU'D BETTER THINK AGAIN!”

The silence is broken by the sound of the lifting latch and the door squeaking open.
“Sorry,” my 81 year old mother says, “I wasn't about to get dirty.”
“It's OK, Mom; let's get you some groceries,”
It's going to be a long day.
