Naw Ruz!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Do to the nature of the new year - people have concluded their Fasting, prepared for their reset button to be pushed to start a more spiritually based life, and partied to their heart's content - our office will be closed. So, I can sleep, right? Well, as you can see from this post, I've still not fallen asleep. As well, I have to wake up rather early tomorrow for a day off, eight a.m., to go to the doctor's office for a check up. This is both exciting (I really, enjoy riding the 'el' and writing) and irritating (I really should just sleep for...you know, the day) on a day like tomorrow. Where all the things we need to do during the week but are unable to, because of obvious obligations to stay in the office, become a reality. This opens doors for all kinds of errands and corpulence: post office excursions, a trip to the DMV, spending more than an hour wrapped up in a conversation sitting at a restaurant which has an ambiance that you can't quite put your finger on but adore. This is what I look forward to...but not really. My list doesn't necessitate leaving the house, save my trip to the doctor's on Wells and Congress, so I'll have to figure out a way to prop the windows up, open the shades, and admire the weather...kind of. This would all be much easier if it were eighty and sunny tomorrow.

A man is forced to dream of a junket to a state park instead of nondescript streets and people like trees.
