Unsurprisingly still busy
It is amazing how getting to take a shower first thing transforms the day’s tasks from impossible to possible. I got all the critical tasks done with dispatch, then discovered a small pile of routine tasks which I also got done. Then in the afternoon I stepped away from everything to walk over to the school to meet up with my kids and walk them home. The exercise was good. The fresh air was marvelous. And I got to observe first hand why my kids always come home with pockets full of rocks and odd bits of metal. Yes, my children scrounge in the gutters for “cool stuff.” This could also explain why a 10 minute walk can take as long as 40 minutes.
I’m still very tired because of the not sleeping well, so I’m afraid I am short on insightful thoughts. Instead I will send you over to Mental Tesserae where my friend has a very nice post about happiness and the randomness of life.
