I had a funny realization in the shower. It was after I came up with a really excellent bit of text for this problem I’m trying to solve at work. Unfortunately said realization immediately wiped the solution text from my memory banks, so there’s that. Anyway, here’s what I figured out: I’m like a sports car riding on three good wheels and that cheap spare tire in the back. You know that car is capable of great things, but if you try to do anything but the bare minimum on that donut, it is going to fall apart. I need a new tire, which is ironic because nearly every wheeled device in my home needs fixing to some degree. I suppose that my metaphor is circular–the car with the blown tire is a metaphor for me and I am a metaphor for the state of my home.
Of course, the beauty of this all is that everything can be fixed.
Some Thoughts:
- The new Minecraft update is wonderful. I’m enjoying spending what little time I can spare crafting away and building all sorts of marvelous things. A much needed distraction indeed.
