NauenThen

Things I didn't do today

I didn't go to a movie (Folktales, set in Norway), though I had all afternoon free. I didn't do my laundry, because I'm not quite desperate enough. I didn't find the bag of $20s & my bank card that I managed to lose, although I did cancel the card. It's weird to lose cash & have no idea where it could be. My pants have deep pockets, my bag is zipped, & I don't know where else to look. While I didn't start either of the new projects I have in mind, I did spend time pondering how to go about them, with mounting excitement at the possibilities. I didn't finish any of the zillion books I'm in the middle of. I did buy shampoo & toilet paper, & I did take a nice soaky bath, & I did comb the aisles of the soon-to-close Rite Aid on my corner, where I bought some moisturizer for half off. I guess that's my life every day, isn't it, doing some things, neglecting or forgetting others, being surprised / pleased / discouraged / infuriated / cheered.....
