Seventy Ways

I’d forgotten again.

We’re having some “important” guests over another week has passed and I still haven’t re-covered the dining room chairs.

I think about calling someone in but I don’t think they come on two hours’ notice.

So I attempt a last-ditch effort of peeling all the old leather off and decide to just leave the cushions as they are. Or maybe I’ll drape some material over the back of the chairs — just to show they’re “in process.”

But as the morning goes on I come to terms with the fact that there will be no hiding the peeling cushions.
