Eff the rat race

[seabird78]

I really need to start getting dressed for work, but I'm moving slow this morning, and sitting on my living room carpet listening to the not-so-distant morning song of a cheerful bird.

I really just want to keep sitting. And keep listening. I want time to stop, if only for a week or so. If I'm to be completely honest, I'm a little tired of the daily grind these days. I grow weary of my place within the rat race.

But I can't opt out, or if I can, I'm not fully clear on how to go about it. So I must press on until I can find a better way to live.

If nothing else, I have more reading to look forward to. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a delightful story, a thousand times better than it is in movie form. Makes me wish for my own magical night of romance and music, but then again, doesn't everything?

Alright, enough of this. I gotta find some clothes.

Huh. Good to hear the story's better. The movie was cute but definitely missing something.

I can lend it to you when I'm done if you like. It seems the whole quest to find the Where's Fluffy show was created to give the movie an ongoing conflict. In the book Nick and Norah just happen to be in the right place when it starts.

Did the clothes hunt go smoothly?
This morning was particularly irksome in the getting-out-of-bed arena.

I did. And my mood vastly improved once I got downtown. I have a new post about that due up shortly.

I feel like that just about every morning. Trying to put on a shirt often makes me feel utterly defeated. I just want to sit still and do nothing.

Maybe you need a vacation, or at least a weekend!

Both!
