Welcome to Monologue Mania- one new free* monologue a day- -and still going!
That one is tough for me - I miss so many things! Like not being on a pill schedule!.....
(The others laugh and agree)
Or not being worried when the phone rings......going to the bathroom and being able to close the door - because with the door closed I can't hear if someone is falling down!
But if I have to pick one thing I miss the most, it would have to be............wasting time.
(Listens, waves it away)
No way is coming here a waste of time! We have a schedule, and we help each other, nah, definitely not a waste!
Wasting time is something for the young, and those without obligation.... And the only reason I remember it at all is that last week, a few friends took me out, while one stayed with my mother. And I didn't have to be home by a certain time....no curfew!
And we went to the movies, and sat outside at a gelato place that is open until two in the morning, It was warm, then it got a little cool, and foggy, and mystical.....and just plain silly!....and we laughed and talked, and laughed some more......and suddenly the place was closing. And if you ask me, I couldn't tell you what we talked about.....or laughed about. Shooting the breeze - shootin' off our mouths......just wasting time....I remember those days fondly.....
And that is what is missed the most for me.....but maybe I should say....mist....M-I-S-S -T -like in the foggy stuff.....

Monologue Mania Day # 1194 Misst (for Caregivers Anonymous) by Janet S. Tiger (c) May 22, 2017
Misst
(for Caregivers Anonymous)
Misst
(for Caregivers Anonymous)
a monologue by Janet S. Tiger
(Woman stands to address the group)
Interesting question - Now that we're caregivers, what do we miss the most?
(The others laugh and agree)
Or not being worried when the phone rings......going to the bathroom and being able to close the door - because with the door closed I can't hear if someone is falling down!
But if I have to pick one thing I miss the most, it would have to be............wasting time.
