I Want a Re-Do

My dog gives me a sleep eyed look and a loud theatrical yawn. She wants to go to bed. I cannot give up the day yet. I feel unaccomplished, unproductive, unworthy. Others did not get today. I did. I should have been joyous, productive, The day should have felt wonderful, and exciting. The day and I were not any of these things. This makes me chase after it mournfully, Wanting a re-do. I feel terrible about squandering it. The dog lets out a loud sigh, showing she understands.
