Ramblings

We are a " used-to-be dweller at 2525 Main in the Santa Fe Apartments. Our memories and friends still have a strong hold on us and we can all be seen in Milano's every Wednesday during the happy hour
We now reside in one of the few rentals on the Plaza.
Along the south side of some Plaza buildings there are small green leaves peeking through the earth. These little fingers are stretching upward to check the weather. I listen closely to hear them chattering to each other"Burr it's cold out there." I whisper"Don't come out yet you'll freeze your little buds off." There is a kinship here, we humans too are shivering and waiting for spring to shine!!
Sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office, I rout through my purse for something. I look in each pocket behind coupons, a note to call Chris, nail file, kleenex, hand cream, lip gloss, chap stick, hair brush, pen, dental floss, small bottle of perfume, eye drops, cleaning cloth for glasses, address book, sales receipts, billfold. Here is the grocery list I was searching for yesterday. Gee, what am I looking for? Suddenly aware of the noise I'm making, I look up to see three other women going through the same process. What the hell are we all looking for? Is it nervous anticipation? Why can't I sit and read or sleep like the man sitting next to me.
