This Is This

I drove my hangover to the Post Office this morning to pick up a replacement lenscap I lost taking this photograph. I was driving along on my own, singing my guts up to Distant Sun, my song du jour (de la semaine, en faite), wondering why I felt so good.

Then I realised it was just because I was out and about. I reckoned I have had twenty minutes sunlight in total this week when I went to have lunch with two friends. That is not good.

Lunch + friends + daylight = good.

Day - daylight = bad.

It’s dark when I leave for work, it’s dark when I leave the office. I didn’t make time to leave the building for lunch and instead ate what I brought in. And even that time with my friends when I did go out, I didn’t even make the time to eat with them, because I grabbed something at my desk and ate there.

This, I realise, is not good, and I have used the sun and work as an excuse. “Work’s always there, the sun rarely is - I can’t go chasing it.”

But leave it to me, I will sort it out.
