“And you are!” I told her. “Without this injection I couldn’t function like a normal human being.”
Small talk today was about her kids going back to school in two weeks.
“They shorten summer for kids every year!” I exclaimed exasperated. “Kids need to be playing in the yard and not sitting still for hours in stuffy school rooms.”
You could tell Rebecca was biting her tongue – probably ready for the kids to go back and give her a break from finding childcare during the day when she and her husband were at work.
“You’re all done,” Rebecca then told me of my injection.
“I didn’t even feel it,” I told her and she said I made her feel good again.
