I’m on vacation, which for me means staycation because I’m poor! I did some internet searches on staycations, to figure out how to do it right, and it seems to me that most of the suggestions cost more than an actual vacation, so I’m just making it up. Anyway, I thought you might like to know what a little blind girl can find to fill up her staycation time, so I wrote this little song for you, gentle readers:
On the first day of staycation, my true love gave to me
a ticket for the dry-cleaning!
On the second day of staycation, my true love gave to me
two lightbulbs to change
and a ticket for the dry-cleaning!

three Hunger Games books
two lightbulbs to change
and a ticket for the dry-cleaning!

Thanks so much! I’m glad I was on vacation when I got Freshly Pressed. I don’t know how I would have responded to all the awesome comments otherwise! If only I could have worked it into the song….

Love your honesty as I sit here in house self-arrest as going out = spending $$ which I’d rather avoid. Love your song! Love!
