I was to have dusted and run the vacuum today. But, life -- plain life -- stepped into my path, and I spent a large portion of the day in a big, comfortable chair by the fireplace. What did I accomplish? Here's a partial list:
- Finished both the crossword puzzle and the sudoku in the newspaper. In their entirety, I might add.
- Read a book on macro photography. Oh, how long it's been on the shelf by my desk. True it has some interesting copy editing problems, but I learned some pretty good stuff -- evidence to follow.
- Took a walk with Tal, Whitby and Belle, our daily stroll on the promenade. Crisp and breezy and clear.
- Disproved (at least for today) that pesky get-all-your-work-done-before-you-play rule. Or, to say it another way, managed not to enforce on myself that particular well-learned rule (at least for today). Does it bother me that the dust is waiting oh so patiently for me? Only a little.
The year is a week old, today a satisfying end -- and beginning. The day, and the week, came to a beautiful conclusion. I was a moment late in catching sight of the sunset and the pond from our bedroom window. The photograph is a dark and "noisy," but it does convey some of the scene's drama and allure and may help me remember what a nice day it's been.
