Sunday morning instead of sleeping in and waking late in warm light gilding the curtains and lying in bed for a few minutes half submerged in the oceanic night half stretched onto a sandy shore of day and feeling the soft bed and blankets and pillows and petting one or more cats imperious and affectionate and then walking on slightly sore feet to the kitchen and brewing a cup of coffee and sitting on the porch and letting myself rest, I sit in a chilled coffee shop where I’ll work an extra shift to help pay for a new used car and my cat’s tooth extraction, not only her one tooth hanging loose down past her jaw, black and rotten like the befouled saber of a derelict cavalryman, but a complex feline dental surgery performed by a high price specialist using customized tiny tools, the removal of all her teeth and some kind of gum grafting or suturing, as well as the rent and utilities and gym membership and past due amounts on lab work not covered by insurance, as well as inevitable yet unforeseen future expenses springing from a pulpy mass of possible accidents, burdens and calamities, from a densely interwoven fibrotic network of systems, things, functions and people always on the oily edge of disrepair and disaster.

Camus told me I was supposed to imagine Sisyphus happy.
Whattaya sayin'... Sisyphus ain't actually happy?
