Nothing Planned

​Nothing Planned
We have scheduled today’s activities right down to the minute.  We looked at our calendar and decided this was a good day for it.  Veg day.  Do what we like when we like.  Truth be known though, not much planning had to go into it.  We just needed to decide what day it would be, and this is it.
It is not that we don’t do anything.  It is just we don’t plan anything.  It is like there is no one around.  Come to think of it there actually is no one around.  I can sleep in!  Too late for that though, because I am already up.
Alone with my thoughts.  This thought chamber is actually emptier than I thought it would be. “Anyone here?...Anyone here?...Anyone here?”  Cool.  An echo.  “I’m wonderful…I’m wonderful…I’m wonderful.”  I think that echo has an exalted opinion of itself.
I had better get a grip though.  Be mature.  Act my age.  Blow it.  What the heck.  “I love me…I love me…I love me.”  It is weird.  That echo feels the same way about itself as I feel about me.
Anyway, enough of that.  Time to put on my serious look.  But if I do that, Merril will think I swallowed something that did not agree with me.  Maybe I should just be serious on the inside.  But I find it really hard to be one thing on the inside, and another on the out.
I am serious when appropriate.  Things happen to me and others that are not good.  But it is not always serious season thankfully.  It could be if I wanted.  There are heaps of problems, but they are not all my problem to deal with.   I will do what I can when I can, but it is just part of the big picture.  I could walk around like I was eating prunes, but that is not me.
The last time I was serious is like it was only yesterday.  Actually it was only yesterday.  I had a job to do and I did it.  Hope it worked.  Have not heard otherwise at this stage.  Besides how could I be serious all the time, when I know I have a future and there is hope.
My name does not do me any favours though.  Except maybe my last name.  It means flower.  The others mean rock and stern faced.  Anyway, I just know I can’t gravitate to someone who is serious all the time.  I will spend time with them, but I need a fix of goofing off on occasions.
I did have nothing planned for today, but I think now I need to deal with the echo chamber.  Putting stuff in it should absorb the echo.    Not stuff that will be on the nose in no time, or stuff whose use by date has passed.
Good stuff.  I can only try.  But I now have a mission.  A goal.  I will do that right after another nap.
