Sour Candies?
A "cure"?
The wind is gusting outside and I’m wearing three layers because the heat is not coming up on a regular basis (something to do with the temperature outside being warmer than inside). A large black and white cat is having tummy troubles and keeps trying to cuddle with me - an activity that also involves dislodging everything on my desk including the keyboard. Oh - and I got news that a friend has fallen and broken her hip).
There’s no remedy for this - it’s just one of those days.
Then, a therapist appears on my television screen. She treats clients with depression. She claims that sour candies are a short term solution to depression. Somehow, they shock the system.
I doubt this. However, there’s a bag of sour gummy bears on the table. Why not experiment? I ingest four bears. Don’t notice a real difference. I’ll go back to working on my book and the rest of the bears are safe.
The rain will stop. The wind will die down. My friend is doing well and I’ll visit her in rehab. Maybe the book will finally be finished! Time and energy probably work a lot better than sour candies.
