Casey briefly studied the face staring back at her from the black glass. The disheveled brown hair held back with a hair band accentuated the baggy eyes and crow’s feet. When did I get so old? A child’s giggling cry snapped Casey from her reverie and back to the sink full of dirty dishes. She sighed. The boys were put to bed hours ago, and should still be asleep.

You have absolutely nothing to bring to the table and should probably find somewhere else to work.” The older man’s moustache flared. The supervisor’s rant had gone on like this for about 90 minutes.

Friday, April 3, 2020 I couldn’t sleep last night. Well, I fell asleep, but woke up about midnight. I was having the weirdest dreams, and when I woke up, I swear it felt as if someone was watching me. I t was so unnerving that I had to turn all the lights on. No one was in the room except me and my dog. Dixie kept staring at the empty reading chair in the corner. I sat in bed and read and eventually fell asleep somewhere about 3 AM.
