34

a morning to sleep in as late as I please
a day off of work, all my own to seize

my snuggly black cat and his cotton-soft fur
his loud-mouthed MEOW! and gently rolled purr

a UPS box with my "WHAT THE F***K" pen
which will help me to laugh when I'm not feeling zen

lunch date with Drew over salty margaritas
rehashing the year and inhaling fajitas

no bills in the mailbox to make me see red
warm sunbeams that turned my couch into a bed

brand new hand-rolled incense to help me feel calm
almond-scented cream for my dry, itchy palms

funny friends on facebook posting silly things
a phone I love BECAUSE it never, ever rings

an army of blankets to fight off the chills
and nearly a full month off those little white pills

the knowledge I'm loved, never really alone
FINALLY a chance to refinance my loan

the freedom to be, say, and do what I want
a world FULL of cute single boys I can hunt

"It's Always Sunny" in my Netflix queue
plus a new series of Downton to look forward to

texts from my bro (since he couldn't be here)
and two loving parents who live very near

plenty of chocolate left from Christmas day
4 years more with a President I LIKE - hooray!

fresca at the Fudd's with the freestyle machine
(a spout spewing more drinks than I've ever seen!)

warm Krispy Kremes in lieu of a cake
just like I'll have at my wedding *and* wake

a rich, full year behind; a fresh one ahead
a roof up above and a tummy well-fed

thirty-four lines of thanks (though I could write much more)
to close the first day...of year 34!!!
