wanting to go fishing with tom and huck
it's a gorgeous day and would continue to be if i could just stay at home sitting near my open window with the rare and precious little breeze coming in. because of the side of the building i live on,the wind is rarely moving in the direction where the air will come in my window,and since such a thing is one of my favorites in life (i must be an air sign...i love a wonderful breeze,the wind blowing through my hair and pinwheels and windmills and whirligigs...) i like to take advantage of it.
it's kind of hot outside,but one of the perks of being on this side of the building is that it stays fairly cool until evening,as i'm facing west and the sun rises in the east,so i don't get direct sun in the morning. but once i pop in the car to go to work,it's going to be too hot. and it's going to be really bad when i'm sitting in traffic and not moving. and i can't just tolerate it,because my skin breaks into a rash and gets intolerably itchy. so i have to put on the a/c in the car,using more gas,not getting fresh air,and cutting down on the engine power.
and then i'll go to work with its lousy heating/cooling system and i will swelter,which means i will break into a rash,getting horribly itchy,and have to go sit in front of a fan until i feel uncomfortably chilly,and then work until i get too warm again,and do the same thing over. oh,what fun.
so you can possibly see why i was seriously thinking of playing hookey,and staying in front of my lovely window with the breeze,and listening to the busy birds outside...another thing i love...with perhaps some short excursions outside.
but duty calls me,i suppose. work will be hectic tomorrow if i don't go today,and that would be unpleasant. but i've blown it off before when i was really depressed.
my thought today is that sometimes i am too self-absorbed and it doesn't do me or anyone else any good. and maybe if i do what is the considerate thing...showing up for work...i'll feel better in the long run. strangely,i'm wondering if being unselfish is the most selfish...but in a good way...of all. where everybody wins.
