Goodbye Weekend...

Goodbye bottle of wine with dinner
and falling asleep soon after
Goodbye early morning alarm
and stupidly forgetting to turn it off
Goodbye cheering for 55K of my closest friends
and planning for next year- pink tulle, streamers and more glitter

Goodbye celebrations
of life, of upcoming births and 75 years
Goodbye card playing shenanigans
and prize bartering
Goodbye lazy Sundays
brunch, nap, dinner with friends

Goodbye weekend chores
found in my car: 3 tupperwares containers of black ooze, 2 winter hats,
a pair of mittens, a half full bottle of wine, 3 flip flops and a blanket that
still sheds sand if you shake hard enough
Goodbye late night conversations
and how far our responsibility as a society extends
Goodbye road trip planning
maps, snacks and detours

Hello Beautiful Week!
Looking forward to a quick 11 hours of work, road trip commencing,
wandering around wine country, and getting a stamp in my passport
