Round Out in Three
Originally published at The Off-Center. Please leave any comments there.
i. Mental - I’m all shades of chemically imbalanced. Which is what happens when I use my birth control to skip my period (yes, we are venturing into the realm of Too Much Information, but it’s a very simple explanation for an otherwise debilitating condition - the kind wherein I desire no sunshine whatsoever). I’m tearing myself apart, you see. Literally. Skin bits sloughing off by the nailfull.
But this is only relevant because of my dearth of new ideas for the quickly approaching school year. What do I write, I wonder? What will I create? I must do something; I mustn’t waste this time.
No answers yet. Will get there eventually.
ii. Physical - New Couch! After months of a rather uncomfortable, small and hideous couch (all right, it had some character) left behind by my old friend and Mike’s old roommate, we acquired our first real piece of adult furniture. Though getting into the apartment was no small feat, as it’s size proved quite the match for our front door.
Vinny and Rob moving the couch in. Though at this moment, no one was holding it.
We ended up having to take the closet door off of it’s hinges, as we’d opened the front door so wide that it necessitated the closet door being open, and then said closet door caught the couch on it’s way in and pinned it down for a not insignificant amount of time. Nevertheless, hours after the operation began, we now have a lovely new couch!
…and it's never leaving this apartment again.
Many thanks, of course, to Rob and Vinny. You guys are magicians.
iii. Spiritual - Music. I am feeling emptied out by the end of this very long summer where everything has changed, and I am searching desperately for new music to fill me up again. Some new/old DMB has done the trick for the time being, some Ólafur Arnalds has been delightful, but I need something else, something that hits it right. Please recommend songs that changed your life; I need something to go along with all this change.
