What a Day, What a World
What a nothing day, full of time-wasting inconsequentialities.
What a throw-away life I lead.
I don’t understand any of this.
I read some things that don’t matter, did some things that don’t matter, bought some things that don’t matter.
I fed the dogs rawhide chews and watched their Machiavellian machinations with one eye for hours while I read. Each of them strives toward the ultimate goal of lying on two chew toys and devouring the third while the other two look on in envy. Of course they have to drop their original toy in order to grab the other dog’s, and then come back and become puzzled when someone’s lying in their spot chewing their bone. Ring around the living room, it’s endlessly amusing for them, they never figure it out.
Sometimes I think those dogs are the only real beings I interact with in a day. Somehow they keep me tied to things that are authentic and immediate.
Now I am going to go and take a shower and go to bed, and tomorrow I get to do this all again.
The best is yet to come
and babe won’t it be fine?

As for doing nothing meaningful - that’s what I do best. A friend of mine recently took voluntary redundancy for a huge wedge of cash because as he said, “The new jobs they were offering me wouldn’t be challenging enough for me.” I really don’t understand this - I’d be very happy to do an easy, meaningless job as long as they paid me enough to do it.
From Dim’s Book of Wisdom - “Sometimes, doing nothing for a day is the best course of action.” Dnmn, for a shallow person I can be really deep sometimes! ;-)
