Ode To Fall In South Florida

Clouds are higher.
Skys are dark blue.
Lots of breeze in the air.
Humidity hovers around 50%.

Perfect day.
Roads becoming clogged.
Out of country tags are showing up on the expressway.

My head is still in a fog.
We tried to say goodbye to our dad, one week ago today, but doctor's wanted us to wait another 24 hrs.
They were looking for?
None of his organs were functioning any longer.
He wanted to leave.

I have to write everything down for now, until I can remember why I was walking into the bedroom. Or why I pulled the garlic out of the bowl. Why would I need 2 large cloves of garlic at 11am?

I understand this will take a little while. I will begin to remember little tasks. I remembered to water the plant in the house, today.
I looked in the cat bowl. She's going to need some dry food soon.
She still has plenty of sand.
She's taken care of.

I need taking care of.
I need someone to tell me why I need to put a stamp on an envelope.
I have to remember to ask The Boy for the camera cord.
I have to remember to phone the Aunts'.
I have to remember that Uncle is out of the country.
Have to remember to put the incense out at night.

I hear it'll get better. Just takes time.
