groan

tired
immobile
bed

and there will be no getting up
yes there will there has to be
feeling of exhaustion, rubbish, this is just weakness

It is dark outside why bother leave out the punctuation and just go back to sleep
no get up start to do things start to clean up the atrocious mess in the kitchen the mess that the son and the wife have built should leave it not worry about it as the thoughts come the hands are working clearing the crockery and cutlery and pots and pans from the dishwasher to place them in the shelves and the cutlery into the places reserved for it in drawers of the cupboard   in the sitting room on the dining table remove and carry away clear up the remaining food from the pots into sealable containers to be kept in the refrigerator

groan

the son is up just as the work is finished and he looks tired a tired teenager he long haired and not realising he looks around sees the surfaces of the kitchen largely cleared of cruddy utensils now and places his chin on his fathers shoulder asks if a visit to the cafe would be in order.

sad agree, it is the best and the only choice.

later in the day, after  the café

ice cold legs, fear, a return to bed
instant sleep, a collapse
nerves
there is no telling what it was
but it is the reason for it's being late now and nothing done.
