A head like a rag doll, filled with sawdust.The sound of the bedside alarm clock honking in the sons room, to be silenced aafter the third honk.
A cold and a sore throat.
This body was not made for winters.
The cat becomes attentive, assertive, what have you, the feline wants feeding.
In the refrigerator, an opened tin. Put some of the contents onto the green plastic cat's plate. The cat is happy.
Later, sit at the table, writing these notes. The head is better after a glass of water. The mind is no better.
The son comes in, still in his sleeping clothes. He has just woken, again for the second time. Then he goes out again.
Sneeze, a nasal irritation. The cat makes a short meeowing noise, as it always does when humans sneeze. The feline equivalent of "Gesundheit".
The wife walks in, still in her pyjamas too. She comes in through another door. The son and the wife, a good morning hug. See that the son is taller than the wife now, he has grown.
Wish the wife a happy birthday.
This is sunday. Work tomorrow, but rest today.
