deranged

oh! I can’t come, I’m sorry [I said]. I work on Saturdays.

oh, you poor thing [she commiserated].

Yeh [I found myself replying]. oh but no! I love my job [I replied].

She looked at me like I was a bit deranged.

I am grateful, so grateful [grateful a million times over!] that I had the courage to leave what I hated and begin what I love.
