November
WAHT IS it about the end of the year that seems to make everything fall
apart?
The rest of the time I feel like I have everything under control, then as
soon as September hits an impending sense of anxiety builds a cozy little
cabin in my chest. By the time it’s November I realize no, in fact, I don’t
have it together and I’m out of time to change that.
There’s next year, sure. Except we all know it’ll be the same cycle over
and over.
Or maybe it feels that way because today is one of those days where
everything has gone wrong. First, I managed to leave for work without the
emotional support water bottle I take everywhere. Then I spilled coffee all
over myself, and when I was in the bathroom cleaning it I noticed the
inseam of my favorite jeans beginning to wear thin at the thighs.
And, once again, I’ve body checked an inanimate object at the end of
my bartending shift at The Landmark.
Mondays? Hard enough to deal with on their own. Mondays when the
holiday rush is in full swing and every calendar reminder keeps screaming
at you that time is running out before a new year is upon us? The worst.
Mom’s cheerful voice echoes through my mind with the admonishment
she’s given me my entire life: slow down.
I rub my throbbing hip and glare at the offending counter I clipped. I
remembered to clear the door frame from the back room, swerving at the
last second to avoid banging my shoulder into it, only to miscalculate the
distance between my curvy hips and the spot I’ve dubbed the Corner of Hip
Death.
“Did someone move that?” I ask.
A few of our older daytime regulars seated on barstools are doing a
terrible job of containing their amusement. Even my dad’s retired coaching
friend Neil Cannon snorts, shaking his head.
It’s been a slow lunch after what I like to call Hockey Weekends—the
Thursday through Sunday crowd of locals, students, and the entire Heston
University hockey team packing the place wall to wall. Those shifts bring in
the best tips because the place is hopping. During the season, everyone ends
up here to celebrate or commiserate after a game.
“It only seems to jump around for you.” Mr. Boucher, the owner,
chuckles while sliding a basket of wings and a beer to a customer at the
other end of the bar. “Have a good night, Eve. Tell your mom and dad hi.”
His sympathetic smile helps ease the ache in my hip. It’ll bruise, though
I’m used to how often I give myself minor injuries like this. At least this
one won’t be like the mystery ones I find that leave me wondering what I
clumsily stumbled into and when. Terrible depth perception is just one of
the super powers granted to me by my ADHD.
Hammy ambles over with his whole back end wagging and snuffles at
my hand until I pet him. Mr. Boucher’s lovable tan and white bar dog has
an irresistible permanent smile you can’t help but fall in love with.
