Page 30 - Nuts to You - The Nutcracker Retold

And finally, there are the “somedays of our minds.” These somedays we create all by our little old lonesome. The “Someday Mom’s going to find out I” dot, dot, dot. That someday, when you know you will have to pay for something you did. Be it intentional or unintentional, you screwed something up or accidentally created a rotten situation for yourself or someone else. These somedays hang out with us every moment of every day. And if we forget them while enjoying something else, it can all be ruined when we remember - that recompense is out there, waiting for us. It’s just over the horizon.
The problem with someday horizons is the anticipation. And ever since Drosselmeir cleared out the mice, he’s been worried that “someday” the mice would return.
His someday is today.
And it ain’t going to be pretty.
