Soaked

It’s soaked out­side: it rained on and off all day yes­ter­day, and that is con­tin­u­ing today. I love the color of the sky, but it is a blank with no sense of tex­ture, noth­ing for the eye to wan­der to.

How­ever: look­ing at the soggy ground and the soggy objects all around makes things seem gloomier than they are. I headed out for an errand or two yes­ter­day, one of which included a trip across the river into Penn­syl­va­nia and sev­eral train rides. I don’t have pic­tures: it was get­ting dark while I was going; I spent time on the train and in the sta­tion both people-watching and get­ting a sur­pris­ing amount of read­ing done. There were a lot of nice older build­ings I passed, busy streets with much to offer. It felt nice mov­ing about; the water was prob­a­bly more of a con­cern for cars, given the deep pot­holes in abun­dance in these parts.

I might go wan­der a bit today. I want to be pro­duc­tive, I want to learn. Both goals will be achieved by edit­ing, but there is some­thing to be said for actual motion.

  • I had days like these while I was on hol­i­day, rainy weather always makes me feel like stay­ing in with a nice hot drink, the heat­ing on and a DVD to watch…

  • Today is def­i­nitely a day for actual motion. My chair is just not doing it for me today. Although not fully rain­ing out, the ground is soggy and there’s a slight fog in the air. I know my lab will appre­ci­ate any kind of wan­der­ing I can do in the next hour or so.

    Time to take a break and get my legs mov­ing.
    Thanks for remind­ing me, even if that wasn’t your point.
