It is RAINING right now (aaaall caps).

On a slow week I would hate this. However today, any excuse to not participate (when there isn’t much leftover time in the day to participate) is welcomed.

Uff, a little thunder for extra measure.

This past weekend onward, I have surrendered to rest (when the chance to rest is provided). I’ve chosen to not be pedantic about how much reading or art or new music I take in. I am not overly concerned with how indulgent I am with food or beverages. Spare no expense, feet up, creature comforts. I am taking care of number one- if it isn’t clear- I am number one (from the past weekend onward), but mostly in that oxygen mask on a plane kind of way.

I remember talking about surfing and how every time you would catch a wave you were rewarded with a succession of even more overwhelming waves. Lately, this has been my life. A never ending succession of waves, pulling you under, putting you through the metaphorical (or literal?) washing machine and ultimately disorienting you when you finally get your head above water.

If I could I fold my arms together like Barbara Eden in I dream of Jeannie and transport myself toany place in the world, it would be on a still lake, in a kayak, paddle board or canoe. THAT is what I need right now, that is what I miss. A contrast to the chaos.

Today though, I have no complaints. I will take the rain.
