At this time of the day, I normally would be in the gym. Today, resting with an aching back, I instead read The Partisan’s Daughter. I feel I have missed something. I am restless. I have a bag of popcorn. Not what I should have had. I feel guilty after having it. It was not my cheat day. I try to write, and I end up with disjointed journalistic recordings like this.

Not my day. Or perhaps it is. I come home early, and I am surprised to meet my sister. She stays close by, but as is the case with anyone these days, distance means nothing. Nor does closeness. I feel we are retreating more and more into being individuals with a Me the more the world tries to Facebook you. Come on now, where is your avatar? You are not on Facebook? What did you tweet?

Just saw a black cat cross my path. 45 likes. Now here you go 400 pictures of my trip to the neighbor next door. But here, I am having a conversation with my sister. As sisters do, lounging around in bed. It was a lovely moment that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t ruined my back, and come home early and stayed in bed. Somehow, all things happen for a reason.
