Just another manic… Thursday?
Today had strange energy throughout. I personally did little with it. I drank coffee. I walked around a bit. Had a burger. Now I am blogging. That’s basically the day since I got out of bed. I have not done anything. Not in the ‘don’t feel like it’ way, but in the actually let the day get away from me way. In truth, I didn’t even travel that much today–under 6 miles by my latest count. I’m going to need to manifest another walk to feel like the day wasn’t a total bust after bed.
Perhaps days like that are needed in life, but they tend to leave me or my partner feeling unsettled. I think when you realize your days are finite, blowing one carries more weight. When you realize you’re back on campus in 39 or so days, each missed one carries that much more weight. There is a gravitas to vacation we can get lost in but also churned up by. There can be the sense of missing out on a chance or a moment when you’re sitting there letting nothing become your way.
I thought I’d go see this grove of trees I like. We didn’t. So, maybe it isn’t like we had huge plans or anything.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Failed asylum seeker families to be offered up to £40k to leave UK” Sorry you can’t stay, but we will pay you to go…
- Plenty of Yankee caps today. The morning was awash with them.
- Summer FB camp for the youngest started today. He’s shifting back into HSFB mode after all the college hoopla. A verbal offer is nice, but a bad season can wipe that away. He needs to show growth this season–especially if he intends to work both sides of the ball.
