Just Another Day

Parents fighting
Tires slashed
Resolve to leave
Never lasts

Teen mom
Missing daughter
Mother in law
Saboteur

Skipping class
Geometry fear
Mom’s tough love
More shed tears

AP classes
So much work
Fear of failure
No self worth

Fear success
Procrastinate
To cope with stress
Alienate

Student transfer
Sad, sad tune
Transfer revoked
A liar’s doom

Thinking twice
‘bout my life
It’s another day
In paradise.

 
Yesterday was a little crazy and exhausting.  But I love it still.  And as I was reflecting on it, Phil Collin's "Another Day in Paradise" came to mind.  As tough as the day was, I left here and went to the doctor for a regular check up, paid my $25 copay and got to see him.  Not only do I have insurance, I also have the money to pay the copay. 
 
Then I went home where I was greeted by Lola who thinks I'm God's gift to canine's...this after being crated all day.  Then I opened my refrigerator and pulled out food, which I never lack for.  I heated it in my handy microwave.  Watched DVR'd programming while I ate it.  And relaxed with my laptop in my recliner.  Took Lola for a walk around a lake in my cozy complex.  Then went to bed in my comfy bed with fancy sheets and covers.
 
Yep.  I've got it pretty good indeed.
