Roll the Credits

Here's one for you to figure out.  I'll give you until the end of the post.  

I'm shooting blanks today.  I'm hurt, hollow, and empty, and I poured it all out in my journal yesterday.  The bidding war for those will begin soon.  It is stuff I'm definitely not posting here.  C.S. may not be a high profile happy guy, but he is not my doppelgänger, either.  He's a buffoon, more or less, a marionette in a Punch and Judy show.  An entertainer, if you will.  

I may be sick.  It is too early to tell, but I think so.  I've felt better.  I went to Walgreen's the other day to pick up a prescription and had to wait with three people wanting Covid tests.  It's going around pretty well, I've read.  I've taken no precautions other than being a basic hermit.  

But my head is empty of entertainment, cleverness, and/or profundity.  Just a sad, worried hum.  

Maybe it's anxiety.  The smallest of things now seem to work me up.  The maids are coming early today, and I have much to do to prepare for their arrival.  I went to bed with that in my brain.  Woke up several times thinking about it.  That's just not normal.  

But I have much bigger things on my mind, too.  I'll spare you the details.  

O.K.  The photo.  I shot it through the windshield with the rearview mirror in frame.  The blue in the sky is from the window tinting.  It's an ugly picture, but I haven't anything else.  It could have been better.  I should try harder.  

No thoughts, no music in my soul.  Today seems one to be gotten through.  

Roll the credits.
