#816 it's time to stop

when life is too busy to live
when to-do lists grow, like the spider plant you've been meaning to tend
when the love of your life is someone you high-five at the door
one leaving, one arriving
when you've turned down the same good friend for 5 consecutive outings
when dirty dishes claim your sink, your counter, your kitchen, your house
when questions and demands come from every room and every phone
