Thursday, January 4
Late Christmas morning. The floor is strewn with torn paper and cast-off bows and ribbons. Only a little while before the tree was surrounded by a seemingly endless pile of gifts. Now there is nothing else to open, no more presents to unwrap. The merry debris that litters the floor begins to look less and less festive, and more and more like trash needing to be cleaned up. Tomorrow is the 26th, just another winter day. It's over.
That's what today feels like. It's not made any better by the loss of my cellphone. I have a lot to be happy and thankful for. Today, I'm just not feeling it. Maybe I need more sugar, because I'm just one big grump today. I saw Castaway last night. It was entertaining, but not overly compelling. Two words probably sum up my feelings: rent it. Sorry Tom. Amazing plane crash scene though. The film has also given me the idea of getting a volleyball for my apartment now that Conny has left. (Post delayed by technical gaffs on Blogger's part.)
