as I lay dying

Things you ponder the evening before you are due to get your death sentence:

How beautiful the sunset is
Whether to take up smoking
What you didn't do in your life
What you did do in your life
Whether you could eat a sandwich right now or not
The windows that need cleaning
The people that mean something
The stuff that seem meaningless
Whether to start have casual and frequent sex
Whether God cares or not
Which people will show up at your funeral
How unfair life is
The feeling of freedom you suddenly have
The feeling of despair you suddenly have
Whether you should get your hair done before you go to the hospital to die

I didn't get a death sentence at all. Now all I want to do is stop pondering and just get on with living.
