Stayed home sick today. Had a miserable sore throat, headache, fatigue. I learned a long time ago that going to my particular job while sick is never, ever worth it.

Slept in late, gargled with salt water, took some asperin and tylenol, fed myself good food, went to coffee with Myrrh mid-day, stayed cool, did a little laundry, some dishes, napped, drank a lot of water, stayed away from sugar and alcohol, cuddled with the kitty, was very nice.

I feel about the same. Slightly more sniffly, less hot, more sand papery throat. Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning and will be able to go back to werk.

Glad it's so warm. Could walk around naked at midnight, perfectly comfortable. I love it. I cherish our brief, capricious summers.

* gentle warm morning in a cozy hoodie
* 7am Ristretto latte, with plenty of time to catch the bus
* Willow ate all her tuna water
* warm shower
* hemp milk and fortified cereal
* strangely delicious rosemary black plum
* early morning interactions, day flying by
* sushi for lunch, sesame seaweed salad
* toddy and iced vanilla latte treats w/ Chris at Barista
* leftover pizza from werk for dinner, complete with strawberry Hotlips soda
* an adorable bus ride companion, watching him bus surf
* Willow eating most of her wet food
* open mic at 3 Friends, artists, people, resonating, music and feathers and language
* iced black tea with mango, unsweetened and perfect
* found feathers
* doodling lines, fairies, feathers
* bananas
* spinning eggs (which one is boiled?)
* fish fly (what is it what is it?)
* crows, all at once (would make a good alarm sound)
* picking up the pedal
* got so much done today
* been up for 17 hours on six hours of sleep, feeling tired but okay
* warm warm sunlight
* glimpses of pink in the purply blue sky as light fades
* temporarily, briefly, in and a part of this beautiful world
* podcasts and pictures
* friendship and love too full to grasp
* get to sink into sleep cuddled up with a kitty

I've never seen the sky more blue, and I can't help thinking, "This might be the last hot weekend of the summer; I've got to get out there!" So, time to get up, take some cold medicine, find some clothes, shower for the first time in several days (ew), and pretend to be well and enjoy this last bit of shimmering warmth, before the magic of autumn settles in my soul and I am caught up in her colors and Halloween costumes and dark spirits flying through the night.

Summer is still here! I want to revel in her as long as possible.

The boys brought over a gifted grill and patio set. (Oh snap, we even have a patio!) Party, anyone?

Edit: Oh damn I almost died in the shower. I think I'm getting ahead of myself, heh. Breathe, sera. Relax.
