T.G.I. Friday!
Not much different than Thursday,
Tomorrow we play.
At last, it’s Friday. Although the excitement usually felt on the 5th day of the week is strangely missing. Well, not really “strangely” as we all know why Friday’s in April this year are no big deal as tomorrow the only difference is I won’t have to … err, after another reflection, I revise that to “there is no difference between Friday and Saturday this week: I’ll still get up at the same time, still face the same limited breakfast choices, will still check in on work email, will still try to get in some exercise….
Yup. Absolutely nothing different. Anything different for me these days involves “planning” with the bonus agony of not being able to set start dates, so I’m going to have to stop that depressing activity. I’m now playing around with the idea of pulling out one of those adult coloring books that has become popular over the last decade. Mindless creativity at its finest. I am inspired to do this because I saw my sister working on one with my niece the other day. Yes, my sister—the one that would not be caught dead with a crayon in her hands just two months ago is thoroughly engaged in mastering her mad adult-coloring-book skills, and enjoying every moment of it. The world has truly ended!
Joking aside, my need to be creative has been stifled lately. In part because I lack adequate space to let loose, and part because my focus has been on selling one house, buying another house, and making both my personal and work life co-exist in the same room of someone else’s house. Oye! It’s moments like these when I just want to play games on the xbox and allow the real world to just disappear for a few hours. But this, too, shall pass. I just hate the waiting.
So tomorrow is Saturday. I’m going to try and force myself out of a routine and try something different.
Valerie I’m really glad to see that you’re keeping up with things. Hang in there with the isolation thing. It will be over soon enough and we can see each other. I liked your profile picture. It looked really pretty.
Thank you!
