Five things that have defined my day thus far:
- Rampant and inexplicable sneezing and a tremendously itchy ear
- The fact that the weather seems to change every time I look out the window
- Curtis says my cinnamon tea smells like a urinal puck
- I am absolutely convinced that it’s Tuesday, to the point where I have checked the calendar three times
- A deeply-rooted desire to lie on the beach, toes in sand
I didn’t say these things would be related, did I?
This week has been a bizarre cocktail of moodiness and grinning optimism.
Half the time I’ve been raring to start new civilizations and sing arias, while the rest of the time I’ve wanted nothing more than a clubhouse sandwich and a long nap.
I’m not sure what’s up. Perhaps I’ll achieve some sort of balance this weekend, but I wouldn’t hold out for normalcy.
The only thing I seem to have in abundance is rain.
So:
