Thursday

Sitting in front of my laptop this Thursday morning, I have been trying to figure out what to write, and I can’t think of a single thing. Only two things are running through my head: the new episode of Star Trek: Picard is out on Paramount+ and the chorus to a Lorrie Morgan song, “Except for Monday,” which goes like this:

Except for Monday, which was never good anyway
Tuesday, I get a little sideways
Wednesday, I feel better, just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long
Before I know it, Saturday’s gone
But it’s Sunday now
And you can bet that I’m alright.

Thursday and Friday often seem like they take too long. I’m pretty sure this Thursday is definitely going to take too long, as I am in meetings all day.

Dear March—Come in—

Dear March—Come in—(1320)
By Emily Dickinson – 1830-1886

Dear March—Come in—
How glad I am—
I hoped for you before—
Put down your Hat—
You must have walked—
How out of Breath you are—
Dear March, how are you, and the Rest—
Did you leave Nature well—
Oh March, Come right upstairs with me—
I have so much to tell—

I got your Letter, and the Birds—
The Maples never knew that you were coming—
I declare – how Red their Faces grew—
But March, forgive me—
And all those Hills you left for me to Hue—
There was no Purple suitable—
You took it all with you—

Who knocks? That April—
Lock the Door—
I will not be pursued—
He stayed away a Year to call
When I am occupied—
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come

That blame is just as dear as Praise
And Praise as mere as Blame—

Sleeping In

This weekend, I have been sleeping in. I’ve even gone to bed early. I got up at 4 am to feed Isabella but returned to bed and slept another hour or two. I’ve been feeling a little rundown. I’m not sure what’s going on, but I haven’t had a lot of energy the last few days. Thankfully, I have today off work since it is spring break, and we always get the Monday of spring break as a holiday. I even feel like going back to bed right now, but I’m going to have a cup of tea and make something for breakfast. That usually wakes me up, and I feel a bit better and slightly more energetic. Have a great day, everyone.
