Snow Melt

Afternoon becomes evening

Istiqlál (Independence), 17 Sharaf (Honor), 165 BE – Friday, January 16, 2009 about Sunset Pacific Time

As afternoon becomes evening, I sit at my computer and watch the slow transformation of the sky. It changes from daylight blue to sunset pink. I know the next stage in the transormation is night black.

As afternoon becomes evening, I contemplate the pain in my lower jaw. The dentist pulled a tooth today. It isn't bleeding because I can't taste the salt of my own blood. I wonder if I should take a pain pill and go to bed. If I do, then I am going to have to put the eye drops in Mom's eyes earlier the I planned.

I am going to take a pain pill and go to bed. Good night.
