JUST ANOTHER DAY

Alexander had a hard time sleeping some nights, most nights as a matter of fact, so he was awake when Hephaistion joined him. He offered his friend a fig from the bowl in front of him.

“Would you like to go for a ride today? The sky is clear and Bucephalus needs a good run.”

Hephaistion nodded. “I think I shall ride the new white mare. She is full of spirit.”

Want to hear my letter from Mother? She has much news of home in this one.” Alexander placed a scroll on the table and began to read aloud.

Hephaistion was only half listening as he cut a chunk of cheese and popped it into his mouth. He enjoyed this part of the day more than any other, he thought to himself, this part before the intrusions of the world that Alexander chased so fervently. He loved quiet mornings best.

Lazy day today. Stayed in PJs all day. Stomach still hurts from the second med the doc gave me and my foot is hurting again but I'm hoping it's just collateral pain and not a relapse. :/

Did a bit of cleaning up this afternoon, paid some bills and posted my drabble. Going to grab a shower in a bit and get ready for bed. Tomorrow is chili day... err, superbowl day and I've got my Sil chapter to go over for Monday, Sherlock to read and the next chapter in The Charioteer. I might have time to watch football!

Hope y'all had a nice day!
