a very wet day

a view of my street

Sometimes it’s what we don’t do that matters.  So today, I don’t:       


*    Nag Alexander to get up at a reasonable hour, and instead wait until 11:30 before uttering my first, “Hey, are you getting up today?”

*    Go to a 50% off sale at Wolford to buy a white skirt I saw yesterday and really want, but instead decide I can probably find something in my closet to wear to a couple of big “dressy” events I have coming up in August.

*    Leave my home after picking up muffins this morning, but instead stay in and read more of The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud.

*    Go to theater tonight with Zelia in the torrential rain, but instead re-schedule for a night next week.

*    Have a healthy, low-cal dinner, but instead order in a large onion pizza from Al Forno’s, a place Alexander and I love.

*    Call some friends at midnight and suggest going out!  True, it’s not midnight yet, but I’m pretty certain this won’t be something I’ll be doing.  Instead, I will likely be cuddled up in a warm comfortable bed, listening to the calming sound of rain, pitter-pattering on my windows.
