Ebullience: Back-to-Back

Less physical pain
But lots of bother,
Awaiting a cheque
That won’t come
And fixing faucets for water;

Storm pounded through,
Leaving a mess in its wake,
Then red sky replaced it
What a beautiful respite!

Post office on strike,
Slows the mail
But so far,
All but the cheque arrived on schedule,

The faucet cartridges
Delivered from Brockville,
Quite unexpected,
As the company in California;

Had a hard time
Linking up with instructions
But so happy when it worked
Felt like celebrating!

Then received a call
To do some more work
But not sure
Whether physically up to it,

Relentlessly, life pushes forward,
As one event piles upon another
Without pause or break,
Most wondrous motion even with missteps;

Now time for rest
From this days flurry
And prepare for the next activity
In case it arrives early.
