There’s not a sound about
No electricity on the hill
I’m sitting still
A brain that has quieted
With no thoughts to fill
I’m sitting still
Contemplating how much longer
With only time to kill
I’m sitting still
As days speed up, I slow down
Swallowing a bitter pill
I’m sitting still
Time is the only master
And I have to pay the bill
I’m sitting still
Today I’m feeling:
Tired from staying up late and then getting up early as I slowly train myself for 6:15 am starts again next week.
Today I’m grateful for:
The lady at the market stall who gave me an extra mango today. It’s mango season and they are juicy and delicious.
The best thing about today was:
Finishing the Brix Smith and Jack Dee biographies. Both were good easy reads as I visualised their lives unfolding. New books to start!
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
I’d been checking out my flights to Australia on the Airasia website and was ready to book on Sunday night. I sent the itinerary to Amy to double check but she was drunk and replied ‘I’ve got no brain.’ No problem, I can just figure it out on Monday. And that’s what I went to do. The problem this time was that somehow I didn’t have enough credits left to cover the costs. I assumed it was something to do with cached data from going through the process the day before but investigating further I found that my credit had expired in the 12 hours since first looking! Damn it! Oh well, what can I do?
Something I learned today?
Our Sydney friend Runa will visit a relative in Chiang Rai for a couple of days. It seems typical of her that we only find out a day before she arrives. Never organised or good at planning or decision-making. I’m ok to pick her up from the airport if she needs.
What went well today?
Everything went as expected. There was nothing in particular that needed to go well and there was nothing that usually happens that didn’t go well. Not all days are like this.
