I am participating in The Two Writing Teachers' Slice of Life Story Challenge, writing every day during the month of March. My theme this year is "Outdoors".
I just feel a bit off
I told myself, and my assistant
Then I couldn't warm up.
That's what I get for leaving my sweatshirt jacket at home
Maybe an ibuprofen will help
It didn't.
So I took two more at lunchtime.
Hey, I am feeling a little better
But what is that on my tee-shirt--
Sweat marks?
I made it through the day
Worked until 530p, even
Walked out to my car
The inside an oven
Heated by a blazing sun
through a dirty windshield
And it felt good, so good
That I quickly turned off the automatic A/C
and let the heat soak into my bones.
Cr#%. I really am sick.
