Etta Mae's Worst Bad-Luck Day
“The best sleep, that is, if you didn’t have too much to do to crawl into bed and try to make up for a strung-out night during which I did not close my eyes, courtesy of the Delmont branch of the Abbot County Sheriff’s Department.
I sat the Coke can on the little table that now wobbled, due to having been kicked across the room, and picked up a pad and pencil. I make a lot of notes, especially when I have a lot to do. That way, I’m sure I won’t forget anything important. I’m the organized ty...pe.
And this was a day that needed organizing, for the idea that had been simmering in my mind ever since Emmett told me Junior intended to take Mr. Howard to Raleigh had come to full boil while I’d hunkered down on my car seat while parked at the Skyway movie theater. That idea now required some detailed thinking through.
Chewing on the eraser, I thought through all I would have to do in the coming day. Things would have to be planned out and done in the right order, too, because I’d be operating on no sleep and a lot of coffee, Coke, and Goody’s Powders.MoreLess
