No Green Bananas For Me
Her fail-safe-alarm-clock for 65 years, my wife had been counting on me for...as she’d requested...my rousting her butt out of bed...
But now that I’m 90, and rather unhealthy - she’s opted for using her cell, clearly aware that in fairly short order she’ll wake to discover - I’m dead!
She’s also been ordering my meds by the week - instead of in monthly supplies, and waits several days to renew my prescriptions...even the ones that are free!
And whenever she shops, I remind her, “Remember...I’m a big fan of bananas - but, given my age, and given my health ---- no GREEN bananas for me!
I hope you'll take a minute to visit my website’s at - www.writerofbooks.com.
Cheers,
Mark Stellinga
