2024-09-05 “Day Off” by Emma

Today is Thursday, an’ it’s one o’ my days off on account of the theater being closed. Tom says he’s thinking o’ hiring more actors so he can do a night show on Thursday and a matinee on Sunday. Addison says she’d want me to train the actors for our Mississippi Delta scene.

Well, that’s just one thing.

Soon as I’m dressed I’m goin’ o’er to Merritt’s same as regular to make breakfast. I decided to make sausage an’ biscuits. Like I said before, cooking sure is easy in 2024.


Biscuit dough comes ready to cook an’ Merritt got us microwave sausage. So, there’s no dough mixing to do, and there won’t even be a skillet to clean up! I bet you could guess what my Granny would say about all this!

I done sent a Snap picture to Merritt and Devon, but it was just a close up of my wet face. Technically, it was a snap-back on account, they sent pictures before me. Devon was smiling real nice, but Merritt just took a picture of his shaving cream! It still counts as a streak. I think some folk think having a streak means something more than just being regular about sending pictures. I like to get Snaps from Hannah in the morning for her to say she’s okay and going ‘bout her day.

But when I get one, I know she sent Merritt one two, and that’s still a subject that I don’t know about. After I tried to tell him about wishing I hadn’t said anything about not getting forced into a romance, we haven’t had a chance to say more.

It don’t seem like something you can get into over biscuits an’ sausage. 

You can’t jus’ say, “Pass the jelly, please, and what would you think about us dating properly?”

And it sure would hurt Hannah if Merritt took a liking to me over her. So, I feel really twisted up. But if it is meant to be, it’s meant to be, right?
