every bench reveals a picture

its very quiet here, at my apartment. there is only the sound of the wind and the low rustle of the trees moving. i sat on the balcony a little today, admiring the grand old aloe with its long, spiky leaves. i have to get through this dark tower book relatively quick - its overdue almost a week now and i have about 400 pages to go. i will not tarnish my library record if i can avoid it.

im waiting for em and zeph, trying to tidy the place and baby-proof what i can.

i toasted some squash seeds, a good healthy snack. the same snack i took to the bench at the park next door the other week. there i sat, really unsure of how i was feeling; whether it was just a sad mood or a clinging cloud that ive been trying to ignore. i was undecided, but still content in those few moments. the sun was a warm, sympathetic beam on my neck and shoulders. for a half a moment, it was all i felt.
