this morning, i slept the extra bit that came after i thought i had woken up for good
overnight, the icy rain put a glaze on everything but we are right at freezing and it's not going to last. the wind is already blowing melt onto the windows like rain and a pretty fog is building. the real cold never made it all the way down here. maybe tonight
i hadn't planned to go anywhere today, but maybe i will go to the owl prowl later, even though it will be sodden and muddy
i had such a bad date this week, so full of unnecessary prickliness verging on hostility, but ultimately ending with their expectation that there would be another? meeting people is hard, full of disappointment and even risk, but why begin without kindness and hope
i'm having an extra cup of coffee, dawdling at my desk, listening to cryogeyser and they are gutting a body of water and what all, for a while longer. then i'll see where the day wants to go
