it was a beautiful morning with the sun out and a cool breeze.
i was on my way to work, and while driving past city park, i had to brake slightly to let a young squirrel run across the road. i felt good about that, about seeing a little squirrel diving through the city to reach its destination.
i looked in my rearview mirror to only see a black truck purposely run over the squirrel. without sensitivity or a smile for spring, these two men in their black truck roared past me and were laughing. my hand instantly went up to my mouth, and i audibly gasped.
it just seems like the type of thing that you don't do, ya know? you don't purposefully hit animals that are running through traffic, and you don't laugh about it. i really thought people were smarter, brighter, happier with themselves. it makes me sad to know that i live in a city where people like that live.
the reality is that my life has tailspun and gone all hooey, but not necessarily in a bad way.
the uber-busy and the swamped rejoice on a day-to-day basis for being given something to do or doing something they've even come up with themselves. and i follow along in my quasi nine to five with thoughts of sugarplums and whiskeys dancing in my head.
apologies to the ghosts and shadows for my inattention to the vague and unqualified as i excel and office my way forward in the world to just to bring it to a swift stop in a few months time. heaven forbid i stick with something longer than a song.
we're building our world on macaroni and cheese with a little taste of target shopping sprees. we take our sunday mornings with a bit of pleasure and plenty of breakfasts.
and we've nothing to be ashamed of so far.
the dreams have been coming frequently, but inconsistently.
and there's a little girl upstairs crying for her mommy because auntie doesn't know too much about bedtime. i got the bootcamp version, but they know better.
we're ready to unpack the suitcases. new house on monday. home sweet home and a bit of work to go into it, but we'll be happy to lay in our own bed to learn the new settling noises of four walls and roof.
i don't even know where that phrase comes from. i used to pride myself on not using phrases that i couldn't explain. my fingers just tried to spell phrase like frase. the human brain.
we're leaving in two days, and it's frikkin awesome.
we had a yard sale this past weekend, and it was also awesome.
watch out, denver. someone enlighten me. i'm bored with this tiny state.
it just made me want to punch and dance at the same time.
