2025-06-16 “Monday Moves” by Emma (born 1861)

Good morning ever’body. It’s Monday, an’ I got to get moving. Thanks for checking in with me!

Naturally, I got to get up an’ get dressed. I don’t have to fuss about that, though, on account I go right to work after breakfast to get read for the matinee show where I take off the press on fingernails, put on makeup, do up my hair, and put on a costume.

Emma greets readers from the bedroom of her apartment. Emma Knox, a young woman with long, wavy brown hair tied half-up, sits cross-legged on a neatly made bed in the bedroom of her unit at Tom Jenkins’s American Heritage Apartments. She wears a maroon button-up pajama top and smiles warmly at the camera. The bedding is a mix of white and burgundy tones, and natural light filters in through a window with beige curtains. The room features a wooden headboard, a bedside lamp, and a cozy, calm atmosphere that suggests a peaceful morning at home.

Today, Merritt an’ Kent are making up breakfast for us all. They got to bragging about omelets las’ night, so today they are cooking ‘em!

Now, the big thing today is after the matinee. Shay Ryder asked me and Melissa Gaines, the woman from the bus stop I met that inspired Stop-Gap Housing. Shay wants us to jus’ tell ‘bout meeting, and what happened after. Then Melissa will ‘splain what happened that she ended up living in her car.

I still hardly believe it. Hospital copays an’ deductibles used up all her savings an’ then some. Next thing, she’s a kindergarten teacher living in her car! 

Well, all that’s be talked ‘bout, so I should get going. (But if you want to see it all in one place, Merritt made some posts called “Catch Up Time” an’ they are on Blogger.)

Thanks for reading my story! Have a great day!
