Monday Conversations

O.k. so I consume mass quantities over the weekend and then Monday morning hits. I'm on and in demand and having to be sober while people converse I watch like television wondering if they know that I'm only watching not really listening, my mind is thinking about their necklace and how it came to be, or their spouse and what it would be like to be trapped with such a person. I think, this is an aquarium full of strange specimens,...survive at all costs. By Friday I'm ready to listen, I'm in better shape and in good spirits as the weekend awaits.
Up until then I'm just watching and my mind is all over the place.
