Vague, Today

I'm feeling kind of vague, today. Droopy. The environment started out cool and gray -- but now things have warmed somewhat and are accented by a fluctuating brightness. Windows opened, air moving through fitfully, the sound of birds and water. There's a faint perfume on the breeze: blurry, like me.

I'd go for more coffee but I've already had a good amount. I feel like taking a nap but I want to get stuff done.

At the moment, I'm pondering stories, writing this, and doing laundry...

When I'm at the beach I like to play around with the sand. Mostly just running my fingers through it (especially when it is very warm and almost hot to the touch). I also enjoy shaping it into things: suns, moons...castles, of course. Drawing abstract designs with a sea shell or fingertip is fun, too. There's a wide variety in the texture of sand: the heavy, clay-like feel of the wet stuff; the grainy, packable middle-of-the-beach sand; and the silky, almost flour-like feel of some of the very dry, "dune sand".

Hmm. Just something I was thinking about.

Now I'm thirsty. Time for some cool water...and progress.

Happy Wednesday.
