Today’s been a bit of a mess. I don’t really know where to start. It felt like the day fell apart long before the sun threatened to burn us all. Our AC went out in the middle of the night, leaving me to swelter in an increasingly pressurized room. I only had to deal with it for three hours because I was up by 5AM trying to start the day.
Fits and starts.
It is past 6 and I feel like the entire day got away from me and nothing of personal worth was done. Meanwhile I’m spiraling in writing and keeping up with the kids’ drama and, most importantly, in my marriage. It isn’t a spiral so much there as a husband who can never seem to get out of his own way. If I can take anything away from today it is that there are a lot of people in the world on edge. There are a lot of situations in the world on the edge of falling apart. Often the nexus of those two things will collide directly in your living room. If you aren’t ready to relax and receive, it is going to go a lot worse.
