Belle woke me before sunrise Tuesday morning. Krishna had jumped onto my bed, waking Belle
up and forcing me bolt upright. I cursed
everyone in my house, grabbed a robe and begrudgingly started the day. I fried eggs and turkey burger patties and
warmed a bowl of leftover mashed gold and sweet potatoes. Belle made the “yucky” face and shook her
head at the food. She stood colorful
plastic popsicle sticks into half a cantaloupe rather than eat it. She turned up her nose at a yogurt. She ate a little whipped cream off a soup
spoon and called it a morning.
We were up and out early enough to meet our church
friends at McDonald’s. Belle enjoyed lemonade
and a yogurt tube. I drank a large complimentary
coffee. (McDonald’s is offering free coffee for breakfast as a special two week promotion.). Belle
wouldn’t leave my arms long enough for me to drink my coffee or maintain my
online life. I eventually gave up and
joined her in the winding play structure, where I found dirty (obviously used,
but not soiled) bandages. I alerted an
employee immediately. Let’s hope they took
care of it.
