Tuesday
Rowan
Hey, how’s the charting going?
Claire
I wish I had time to care.
Rowan
Everything okay?
Claire
Voice Note Transcript: Well, since Frankie ate something he wasn’t supposed to this morning which made me late for work where I found out that the grant I was going to use to buy more supplies for my shop fell through right before I got an email from a parent accusing me of lying about her kid not turning in any of his work for the past few weeks which was just what I needed before my surprise observation which happened on the same day that I got home to a kennel full of dog puke, courtesy of Frankie.
Voice Note Transcript: Then I ended up spraying myself in the face with a broken water hose nozzle as I was attempting to clean out said kennel right before I ran to the hardware store for a new hose nozzle and ended up seeing the very last person on earth I wanted to see.
So, no, it’s not.
Also, have I mentioned my coffeemaker died this morning?
Rowan
Oof. I’m sorry …
Anything I can do to help?
Claire
Unless you have an answer for the text I just got from my mom asking me why I never go over to visit anymore, no. I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do to make this day any better.
Rowan
I guess I can’t answer your mother, but what about if I came by to clean out the dog kennel?
Claire
It’s already done.
Rowan
I could bring you some takeout so you don’t have to worry about dinner. What’s your favorite?
Claire
I don’t like food anymore.
I don’t like anything or anyone anymore, especially not myself.
Rowan
Well, I still like you.
And you do have a nice butt.
Claire
Don’t patronize me.
Rowan
I’m sorry. That one was poorly timed.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Favorite candy?
Claire?
