Cutting Corners

Oh, how the mighty have fallen—
Hot Pockets for dinner again.
Well, to be strictly correct,
actually a Lean Pocket
with a whole grain crust!
And yesterday, I did add
a green salad for the Bs.

Once upon a time,
in a lifetime long ago,
I cooked meals for myself.
But that was before
underemployment,
working over 50 hours,
caretaking two generations.

In the big picture,
a few nights of Lean Pockets
will not kill me.
And pushing myself to create
a healthy  meal
at 8:45 at night
just might.
