A freeway interchange central to my morning commute was closed due to construction this morning. AWS has tipped over and is impacting services on my campus. I am getting the feeling I was meant to stay home today.

Earlier this year, when I was feeling low, I promised myself that when I got a job, with my first paycheck, I would treat myself to sushi for dinner. Tonight I made good on that promise. Let met assure you, dear reader, that it was tremendously good.

A fair tailwind enjoyed while out for chores. Each obstacle provided a consoling opportunity. More than I had reason to expect, and in record time. Before me lies the enchanting evening, kicky green beret and all.

The new job provides some odd moments, like when I stumble onto a pile of spare arms while performing daily inspections.

Making space in my heart for a wailing, inconsolable regret. Resisting, as best I can, the impulse to withdraw into abject sadness. Tonight my regret and I will watch the rain from my porch and salve our hurt with the comforts of home.

Cool weather with rain on the way. I am already planning on getting mad snuggly when I get home. Probably have soup for dinner to lean into the feeling. How wonderful to experience the changes of weather that come with the circuit of seasons.
