I am

I am still here.

I am relieved that it's Friday.

I am confused why nail polish doesn't last even 24 hours without chipping when for years my manicures lasted nearly a week.

I am sad that a cigarette I tried to smoke on Wednesday made me sick after two drags.

I am hungry, but this is the first time my stomach hasn't hurt in nearly two days.

I am loathe to irritate it.

I am thinking the stomach upset was caused by the two glasses of wine I had on Wednesday.

I am more sad about that than I am the cigarette.

I am going to sign up for a Tai Chi class.

I am looking forward to an evening of solitude tonight.

I am tired.
