heat
it's hot.
now that i try not to swear, i find i have very little to say.
dog won't stay in the yard.
cat won't leave the house.
a co-worker i liked got let go.
a stranger told me to never use negatives when speaking about myself.
i failed to rise to the bait, because that would take energy.
i'm not learning anything new.
i'm not meeting anyone new.
i'm not saying anything new.
when i try to be a good husband, my wife decides to be aloof.
when i sink into a mood, she decides to be a good wife.
will we never be in sync?
promised one more year, then see where we are.
been off coffee a month, maybe two.
the memory is the first thing to go.
best thing that happened today: postcard from france.
bonjour de paris! voilá , c'est la carte postale que vous...
it's in french.
i admire multilinguals.
i am not multilingual.
nora is multilingual.
find nora.
nora reads french to me.
nora is great.
thanks, nora.
back to work.
gonna be late.
call the wife.
wow she's in a good mood.
wish i could bottle that.
work.
work.
work.
this heat is depressing me.
got to get squared away.
it's no good.
no good.
going off the rails again.
thinking a word here, but not saying it.
shakes head.
hopeless.
pointless.
useless.
gutless.
those aren't negatives.
less is more.
more or less.
