Snowflakes.
Woke up to discover a light dusting of snow. The roads are wet but otherwise clear. Still, I took the precaution of declaring today a snow day just to be sure.
We'll be staying in with coffee and books today.
Don't tell me we don't know how to find the fun in life.
Ssssh.
Sometimes when I first wake up and before my mouth gets warmed up, my fricatives don't uhm... fricate.
* Bet you never thought you'd see that word in a casual sentence.
Annual ophthalmology visit: retinas still holding steady, no worsening of posterior vitreous detachment, "that's a really big floater in your left eye!," reading glasses holding steady at +2, "see you next year." Annual physical/wellness visit: looking good, get your thyroid levels checked again, it's been a while; see you next year. 2 down, 3 other annual specialists to go, currently scheduled for June, July, August.
Sleep come free me.
Some friends who are still working 9-5 jobs asked me if not having a set bedtime was something to look forward to. 😆
I felt bad telling them that yes, it's nice to go to bed and not have to worry about getting up to an alarm clock but often these days, I wake myself up at ridiculously early times with no alarm needed.
I didn't have the heart to tell them about the unscheduled naps they can expect anytime they sit down for more than twenty minutes.
Homewrecker.
Myself, Mrs Miasma and gravity must each accept our share of blame for this tragedy.
"First time home builders fail to secure HOA approval. Dream of home ends in tears."
-- The imaginary newspaper headline I wrote in my head just now
Robins are supposedly good nest-builders but to try and build on our spindly porch light was just foolish optimism. They must be new here.
Trust issues.
Just like with cloud computing, I'm struggling with the 'Uber' concept.
Let's get in a stranger's car and hope they don't drive like me when I was a teenager.
*Also, what if neither of us knows how to get where I'm going?
