Midlife
Excavate the heart, and lay it bare.
Today my parents came over. My mom brought chuck roast. I seasoned it with salt and pepper, then seared it on high for a couple minutes on each side. Added dried onion flakes, one cup of water, then in the oven at 325 degrees. My mom, K- and I went for a walk with W-, and talked about how to reply to S-’s invitation for Christmas Eve. I still don’t really know exactly what to say.
