First of all, I’d like to apologize for missing my assignment last Friday but it couldn’t be helped, as I was in the hospital.
Something unusual happened to me today: I fell down the stairs of the el station today. I rarely do that. To be honest, I rarely even trip up the stairs but I do that more often than fall down the stairs. Anyway, had to be helped to my feet when I usually bounce up and move on about my day. I’m not achy or anything but...it’s another one of those signs, I guess, that I have lived more years on this planet than I have remaining.
Everything has felt just a little bit slower lately but...time, which is blazing by as fast as I can remember.
I don’t really want to go off on this particular tangent but I have no choice but to acknowledge it. If only to myself. If only to begin to do about it what I can.
Other than that, it has been a good day, a quiet day but a good one. Spent this morning running a couple of errands in Hyde Park, with everything going as planned, pretty much. and being, on the whole, even less expensive than I anticipated.
And...there is still lots of sunlight outside, which means that I wake up a little early and go to sleep a little later. Only in the past five or so years have I felt that I needed an alarm clock.
I have a cutoff for this stream-of-consciousness notebook tonight.
Having some heavy thoughts about our political present right now. I don’t want to think about it...it’s the weekend, dammit. But...it’s my job, for better and/or worse.
Comments below the fold.
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
No nominations or highlights tonight.
