Circling

September 20, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 14 Comments

I don’t want to write today. I don’t want to read, to research, to converse, to put on a happy face. I don’t want to shower and dress. I don’t want to pace my rooms, to walk my neighborhood, to clean another goddamn pile, to open the door to the fridge and slam it shut, […]

Realizations

March 30, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 18 Comments

It’s really happening. It’s really happening. I say it over and over. In my head. In disbelief. And I say this, as I have lived it: Opportunity comes to those who work. I’m tired. I’m distracted. The chair is large and my feet are dangling which is annoying. I want to laugh at the same […]

How to get a sexy loaner… car

October 10, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

“We see this in the elderly,” he says, working intently on his paperwork. He’s 25, maybe 27. Excuse me? “The elderly. They don’t drive their cars enough. So the battery is compromised.” I know it’s early. I know I need coffee. I know even Christian Dior didn’t help much this particular morning. Do I look […]

Are You Your Mother?

August 3, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 31 Comments

I should have watched reruns all night. Or old films on cable. But I didn’t. Instead, I tossed and turned, dozed a little, then finally gave up as 4 a.m. approached. I’m a challenged sleeper at best, but last night was rough, even for me. A typical day Yesterday was a fairly typical day. In […]

Looking forward

July 14, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

I am looking forward to having food in my fridge and a filled pantry. It’s been nine days since I last shopped; I’m down to one Lean Cuisine, one frozen pork chop, four microwaveable soups, and two yogurts long past their expiration dates. I am not looking forward to visiting the supermarket this morning. It […]
