A silver lining

Where does one start? I think enough people I know are in a particularly slow moving shit storm weather pattern that I think that it qualifies as a trend. As much as I find the phenomenom lamentable, I find it very curious. Is it metaphysical, yin and yang, a tremor in the cosmic matter that keeps us tethered to the earth and one another or simply misery seeking company; me, you, and everyone we know are miserable because we seek miserable people to commiserate with?

But I had a good day today. I got a pedicure, ate lunch outside, and met a strange guy named Larry who mispronounced the word gauge in the most ironic sentence I've ever heard. He also described the Japanese first as NOT homogenous and then when I corrected him conceded given their lack of diversity, he should have used the word monolithic. So Oswald Bates is real y'all. I totally met him today.

Then I napped in the sun, took my dog for a long walk, and continued not speaking to my sister. Good times.
