Another Real Day In the Life

i hold her until she drifts off to sleep hoping she will feel better, i gently grease her chest this is not about being a typical male tonight this is about helping to return her to wellness so she can get back to facing the world her three day struggle hurts much deeper than i came close to thinking if she gets any worse, it just may lead me to drinking as she wakes up, she tells me that her head is pounding and that she is experiencing chills i get up to go grab her electric blanket and then i make her some chicken noodle soup after giving her the soup, i then make her some hot honey lemon tea an hour and a half later we both drift off to a deep sleep the alarm reminds us both what time it really is i get up to get ready for my sixteen hour day she lays back down to get herself further rest i fix the covers for her and kiss her on her too warm forehead and tell her to get plenty of rest thank the Lord that it is Friday i eat my breakfast of a regimen of vitamins and some orange juice then i am off to set up my eventual episode of doggone near passing out another real day in the life....
