It’s gray and maybe it will rain, though I’m not sure it’s supposed to. Yesterday we were supposed to get severe weather, but overall it missed us.
Just one flash of lightning is all I saw.
It’s Monday and a heavy sigh and grumble kind of a day. One of those days where the list gets flattened and you feel like you have to do everything at once.
Or, at least I feel like I have to do everything at once.
Sounds silly if you say it but it doesn’t stop my brain from thinking it.
One thing at a time.
All we need to do.
One thing at a time.
I can’t write this while doing the next thing, neither will get done.
Sometimes the pressure is internal, sometimes external.
Sometimes it’s the buzz buzz buzz of electronic devices. Our whole worlds are electronic devices.
Or, at least, mine is.
It’s just one of those days where I start the day tired and can’t imagine that’s going to change, one thing to the next. But tired is merely a slight up on the level, I suppose.
Some of it’s the weather.
I had a little sugar and caffeine, that seemed to help. Thank goodness.
Here we are, another week deeper into the unknown, into the unseen, and I’m sure we’re all wondering how long the raft will hold. What will happen when it gives.
We should each have a plan for that.
But somehow, on this rickety, splintery thing, life still goes on. The routines of existing still go on.
They are indifferent.
The ordinary in the midst of the extraordinary, but not the good kind.
We need to bank our little tricks, file them away for when we need them. Grow our own carrots and put them on our own sticks.
At least we’ll move forward, even if it’s reluctantly on a cloudy Monday.
Have a great day.
