Miss Tickle

Skaterina thought she had reached her dying day

she cdnt get out of bed

when she did it was a mile to the kitchen

she spent the day in bed untangling the yarn snarl

she prefers "yarn snarl" to yarn vomit

told DD to call the home hospice people

then DD told her that the magnesium and something else

she had taken as a laxative in lieu of the middle of the night enemas

made you weak

oh

btw Skaterina has mastered attaching the cord to the hot water bottle

you do, indeed, have to turn the bag, not the cord

as for the home hospice DD called them up

the hospice person said

Oh i saw your mother at the library the other day

she looked great / she is not ready for hospice care

oh

see ?

in a small town you can subject yourself to snap judgements

wherever you go

Skaterina asks the DD who is often a fountain of miss.information

(she said sign up for hospice and they will give you any drugs you want)

if she can sign up and go about her Doing Stuff Routines

when she sees the hospice people coming

she can run and jump back into bed ?

wd that work ?
