Re: A Thread for Random Musings
So we're celebrating my birthday at a theme pizza restaurant. It's my mom, aunt Dinda, Grandmother, cousin Kim, and my Ex's cousin Cindy. The food has been ordered, it's pretty good the place is crowded. My mom is talking about how much she misses this place. Cindy is upset that she didn't get to order for herself. Kim is talking to her in a quiet voice trying to calm her down while she keeps raising hers and shouting. The people look at us. I'm getting so mad I can barely see straight.
Now I'm outside, watching as if it's television. There is a nearly life-sized model train that says "Reading Railroad"... it's pewter colored, with similar metallic figures of passengers. A man in a suit and hat, two children holding hands and pointing as they run.
My mother is placing two elastic hair bands -the kind with the metal clasp, entwined - on the engine as it prepares to leave. I can hear children playing on a playground. She's obviously not supposed to be there and she calls to us that she's almost done and then she hustles off. The view pulls towards the linked hair bands and I can sort of see her leaving, the sound of children gets louder as if a "very special" episode of my life is ending.
now I'm awake.
man is it hot outside.
