August 12, 2026, PA trip, slumpy, Poetic Asides

 

Slumpy

 

Feeling a little slumpy

after five days on the road

with one more to go

from Pennsylvania

to back home in southwest Colorado

with a disabled husband

and all his equipment:

wheel chair, walker, bath chair

unloading and reloading the stuffed car

at every stop.

 

I’m thankful our son came with us

to share in the driving

and do the road trip planning.

We had a wonderful time,

at our family reunion,

but feeling slumpy,

like you do when you’re working

nine to five and it’s only three o’clock,

or like a rose in need of water.

It will be good to get back home.
