the monstrosity of the mundane
Jun. 17th, 2004 10:15 amI don’t want to be at work today.
I’ve struggled all week. My little project has been completed and I’m back to bits and pieces. I should be down in the labs identifying bugs, but I’m finding it hard to be enthused. Part of me is wondering if my reluctance is linked to Monday’s little adventure. Being cooped up in an office has definitely been unpleasant this week.
I have great plans to take tomorrow off. The bugs can wait a few more days but my sanity needs addressing now. Tomorrow I want to catch up on some much-needed sleep and get into the gardening. My poor plants have been waiting for re-potting for months, and I didn’t plant any winter flowers this year. I’m missing my pansies and violas, so a trip to the nursery may be in order.
It also looks like Alex will be away for the weekend, so tomorrow is an opportunity to spend some quality time together. Living in the same space does not always equate to satisfactory time spent together. I just want to be out and about. In the garden, off for a walk… The weekend is coming and the promise of small pleasures, like opening the book that has been collecting dust on my nightstand for weeks. And flowers. I’ve been craving flowers in the house again. I think it may be a result of all the lovely picturesruralrob has been posting in his LJ. Whatever the reason I think I will have to get some.
So hopefully a quiet weekend, despite the boy’s absence. I may even do some work on my long-overdue paper. The weekend after will be a blur of activity as Kelvin comes to visit to celebrate his birthday and we all venture out to Mayhem for some funky beats. Time to put on my dancing feet! In the meanwhile, time to re-centre myself and enjoy some tranquillity.
