A Midwife’s Muse

Can’t relax, on call. Should be ironing but that would be too dangerous. Just suppose that I was in the middle of battling my way through the mountain of ironing that has been multiplying in the wash basket and the phone went summoning me to a homebirth? I might rush off, all in a tizz, leave the iron on, one of the cats might come in brush against the ironing board, off would fall the iron, and 1) Seriously injure the cat 2) Set fire to the house. Ironing, not worth the risk.
