A Bit to Read

It’s sunny and cloudless, though it looks windy. It will warm up, but not by much, it looks like.

Before we launch into whatever will be launched, a huge, huge thank you to Deb for the coffee. Right now, few things are more appreciated than those which warm the hands, the mind and heart. Thank you.

And now Wednesday.

Today is a day I find myself waiting. I hate waiting. I’m sure everyone hates waiting.

It’s one of those things that takes the time that it takes and there is not one thing you can do about it.

And the problem with it is, even if you can fill the time waiting with doing other things, you still have an ear out and half an eye somewhere else. You cannot fully relax, you cannot fully concentrate, because you know that at any moment, you could be interrupted.

Or you might not be interrupted for hours.

It makes me feel like a prairie dog, on my hind legs, head swiveling. Which lead me down one of those internet rabbit holes, or, in this case, prairie dog rabbit holes, in which I learned people keep them as pets.

Which then, in turn, made me look up whether that was legal.

In general, yes. Here in Illinois you may need a permit or a license. The ins and outs of prairie dog ownership weren’t on my list for today but anything’s game while you’re waiting.

I think the key is entertaining yourself, but not so much as it’s a problem when the waiting finally, blissfully ends.

If ever it does.

Sigh.

Maybe some people are better suited to waiting than others. Maybe for some people, waiting, not waiting, it’s all the same. It happens when it happens.

I want to be one of those people.

How cool would it be to be one of those people.

I don’t think I’m one of those people.

I want to be done with the one thing so I can move on to the other thing.

I’m wondering how embracing the suck could work in this situation. How I can take on and enjoy the uncertainty, the monotony, the intrusion, really, of waiting?

This one feels tricky.

Though maybe that’s the key for embracing the suck, figuring out how even when it’s tricky.

It will end when it ends.

Look at me, I’m on my way to being one of those people. A little, at least.

Have a great Wednesday.

Buy me a cup of coffee!
