All the days of my life
The fact that I like David Bowie is probably clear to everyone. I could even live my days along with his music. My American sister once told me I have a song for everything and that's true. I always have. In this post I'll just keep it to having a Bowie song for everything. So here's a Bowie description of another day of my life.
Toll the bell... Oh no, alarm clock, early morning, need to get up... And this dark time of year all I see are silhouettes and shadows. So I tumble out of bed and into the bathroom, where the light above the mirror investigates my face so rudely. Make up on and flat iron on my hair I return to the bedroom where all the clothes are strewn. Grabbing my bag and then I stumble into town. Well, my car does anyway... Hoping for smooth traffic this morning. Hoping is one thing, but right before getting on the highway the first car in line slows down although he should be doing the opposite. There's always a moron...
So, what's in store this morning? Hoping for some good news... Opening up my computer with that gift of sound and vision, finding some really good news! I'm happy, hope you're happy too, boss dear! And when it comes to money, a boss is always happy. Everything else usually falls upon deaf ears... Like that office meeting I have coming up later on today. Most of us try to find reasons not to participate, it's that kind of meeting where you just scream with boredom! Much nicer to think about the upcoming lunch. I have already suggested lunch next door, they still serve the soup we like so much. "We leave at 11:30 - tell the others!"
I had planned to go to church after work today, I need some bible truth. Leaving the office a bit later than usual, I think I'll make it to church on time. Would have been sad to find that angels have gone... So peaceful in the church tonight, just what I need. All that stress making my way through everyday life. So I urge myself to pray sincerely, and the heathen light will disappear I'm sure. And I try to convince myself as well that it's not only work that gets me, it's just the power to charm... It takes energy to have my way in this business.
Oh no, traffic piling up on the highway... Of course, a broken trailer! I'm pretty sure I know what company it is although I can't read what it says on the curtain from that distance. But passing it, I was right, can't help sarcastically thinking they're always crashing in the same car. Poor driver, he must be cold, temperature is dropping.
Nice to be home! The house is empty and I'm starting to prepare tonight's dinner while talking to the kids on the phone. My daughter is going to a party and she has no clue to what to wear. Fashion... doesn't always agree with the outside temperature. Put on your red shoes I tell her, as I know those shoes are pretty warm and at the same time nice looking. Seconds later my son calls. He has plans meeting up with his friends downtown. Don't forget to keep your head warm I tell him, knowing he forgets his cap all the time. But with that hat of his it will be win-win!
So, husband and wife all by ourselves this cool and cosy evening. I set the table, turn the lights down low, and on the table stands a solitary candle. I absolutely love you I say and kiss him. With your kiss my life begins he says. So let's dance I suggest, and we do at the candle's slow burn. We dance all the way into the bedroom and the love of my life says "take off your dress". I do and think to myself there's never gonna be enough sex... And later I turn around and tell him he's my miracle - goodnight...
