Before I saw Joe in the hospital the first time, I had to have chocolate pudding. Afterwards, I planned to have chocolate cake, but I decided on a salad.
The second time I went to see him, I had a salad first and vanilla and chocolate pudding afterwards.
This time I ate my lunch at work, went to visit and had chocolate cream pie afterwards.
It's very hard to see him there.
Ah, chocolate helps.
ReplyDeletei like the clarity of cause and effect. years ago, when my mother was in mass general, i spent a fortune on charles street. when she dozed off, i'd run out for half an hour, and buy things in a trance.....
ReplyDeleteOh,Susan, I bet the things you bought were more permanent than chocolate cream pie.
ReplyDeleteYes, cause and effect.
The currative effect of chocolate.
