poker night

tonight is poker night.

a few years ago this meant,
mm would leave for the evening,
and i would start a project.

painting the pantry,
a closet,
the powder room,
or filling in nail holes,
so i could re-paint the main bathroom,
you guessed it,
the next poker night.

i would crank up the broadway tunes,
tape up a storm,
and roll away.

nowadays poker night means,
mm leaves for the evening,
and i immediately crash.
enjoying 12-14 hours of sleep.

i heart poker night.
but my how times have changed.
