I Cannot Wait Until Tomorrow

I cannot wait to wake up; can barely go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a day of adventure; my heart sings. I get to see my friends, and it has been a long time. We’re going to do crazy, zany, marvelous things. In person, not on skype or on Zoom. One by one they begin backing out, afraid of the pandemic. I call the last person and say “We’re still on, right?” She is all in; thank goodness. We wear our masks, but that’s it. The rest of the day is normal. We know we are taking a risk. But sometimes a risk is worth it; this is one of those times. If I die tomorrow, at least I had today!
