Recent Post: COEDS NEED CASH COEDSNEEDCASH am I going to do? The weather is lousy and dreary and I don't want to just sit around the house with nothing to do. Martin is gone to his sister's for the day and I would be all by myself. Can't we find something around here to do?"
"Yes, we could do a lot boring filing shit, if you call that something to do," said Gloria in her own cooing way.
Tess wished she had Gloria's energy and exuberance. Gloria was always "up" and bubbly.
"Not for me, but I don't want to sit around the house. Maybe I'll go shopping."
"I've got an idea," said Gloria, "Why don't we go over to my house, have some coffee or something and do a bit of gossiping? Doug will be at work all day and we can be good company for each other."
"Sounds like a plan to me, I'll meet you there in about thirty minutes." Tess was relieved that she wasn't going to have to brood about the house all day thinking about the conversation with Martin last night.
"Great!" exclaimed Gloria in her own energetic way, "See you there."
Tess and Martin had visited Gloria and Doug in their home on several occasions and Tess knew the way very well. That was fortunate because Tess had what felt like a bag of rocks on her chest and was paying more attention to that weighty feeling than to her driving. It was as if she were in the bottom of a dry well and had no way to get out. The loud honk from the car behind her brought Tess back to her senses. The light had turned green and she was just sitting there. She looked into the mirror and saw the angry man in the car gesturing for her to move on. As she accelerated her thoughts went back to the conversation with Martin.
