Wherein Bry has a conversation with herself.

Hello, how are you today?

I'm well. Just getting off work and heading for home.

Oh? And how was work?

It was okay. I've never closed on a Monday before. I am usually working on Tuesdays at 6am but not this week.

Why not? That seems strange?

I'm not sure. Well I guess there was a meeting or something and they had to change my schedule. So no 6am this week!

That must be a nice feeling. What will you do instead?

Oh, probably sleep in. Then get up around nooner. Take the uni out for a ride.

The uni? Do you ride a unicycle?

Oh, no. I just got a unicorn. Didn't I tell you?

A unicorn! Are you serious? Where did you find a unicorn?

Well last week I was walking near a field in Tigard and I saw one eating some flowers.

Oh my gosh. That is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a unicorn before. How did you catch it?

It was really quite easy. I just walked right up to it and said "Hey little buddy! I want to be your friend!"

That's all it took?

Well no. I also had a super special unicorn burrito.

What's in a unicorn burrito?

Some wildflowers. Stardust. Magic. And cilantro.

That is crazy! I heard the best way to catch a unicorn is to set a virgin girl in a field and then a unicorn will run to protect it and that's when you should lasso it.

Oh, you are so silly. That is an old folk tale.

Well what is your unicorn's name?

Well her real name is Dorothy. But She likes to be called Dotty. I call her polka-Dotty.

Wow! That is amazing. I am so happy you finally have a pet.

Well, she is not a pet. She is free to come and go as she pleases. Captivity would break her.

That is very kind of you. I don't think I could let one go. I would just want to hug her and pet her and show her to all my friends.

She is so sweet and gentle. I just want to keep her a secret. So shhhhh. Now. Enough about Dotty. What are you doing tomorrow?

Well I am going to see L-Word. We have some wedding business to take care of.

Oh! That sounds fun. I haven't seen L-Word in forever. I mish her so.

Me too. I'm quite excited to see her. She is the bestest. I am excited to help with wedding invites and to ask her about work and her pup.

How fun. Give her my best.

I sure will! Do you have other plans for this week?

Well I am cooking dinner for friends on Wednesday.

Oh, what are you cooking?

I think maybe an avocado shrimp salad I dreamt up. Or maybe a chicken avocado sandwich. Something like that.

That sounds delicious.

I think so. I'm more excited for hanging out with friends and relaxing. Maybe hitting the swings.

Awesome. Well I just got home. Time to go for a run before bed. You have a good night. Be careful. Sleep well.

Oh thabk you! Ditto. You are just so sweet.
