Longan

A few years ago when The Niece (I only had one at that time) was musing on the subject of fruit, she said, "If there are long uns, there should be short uns as well."

Well, some of my last few days seem to have merged into one long day, or as one person described it, periods of boredom punctuated by moments of intense horror. Tuesday has been the day I thought I had everything under control. At times, I thought perhaps it controlled me.

I am longin' for surcease. And a short'nin' of days, too.
