Coffee, smooth and a few shades lighter than milk chocolate (just the way I like it) has me amped up this morning. Though I'm tired at the same time. (I stayed awake too long last night and rose too early today; ah well.) The lack of sleep has me a bit on the "easily distracted" side of the fence this shiny Wednesday. From my window, I watched a deep green convertible go by. The interior of the car caught vivid sunshine like a cup.
Today is definitely a "top-down" kind of day.
The air is velvet with heat and the light summons incandescent color from...everything. I can imagine floating in the ocean on an afternoon like this.
With the windows closed and the air conditioning on, things are quiet. A soft susurration through the air vents, the muted sounds of birds in still trees. The clacking of the keyboard.
And that bright outside: beckonning.
Tonight will be the movies...and then unwinding into a nice extended holiday weekend. Other than that, my plans are free-form, punctuated tomorrow by Pittsburgh's (usually excellent) fireworks display.
At the moment, though, I am anticipating a tomato and cheese sandwich -- and a catnap.
