quotidienne: the weather 3:21

the weather
is amazing
and
probably this should be cross referenced with stealing signs somehow
because when i got out of the car to go sign my paperwork
the sky just opened up with pelting rain
but
i'll just mention it here
with the fact that

58 degrees!!!

that is so so perfect
and drizzly or overcast
it's like coffee drinkin weather

i opened the windows yesterday
i never do that
not on the ground floor, anyway
and
it was what i'd really have to call
lovely
i mean, that sounds hokey and all, but...

and cucumbers
i'm grateful for cucumber and tomato salad
crunchy and delicious
i don't know how much more salad type food i'll be getting
maybe i need a grateful heading
but that seems kinda trite and overdone
but
cucumbers and cool breezes are really the most
to use an old turn of phrase
also, who knew, but sunflower butter, delicious!

i'm gonna have to go out friday to pick up my last check
i may stop by the grocery store
we'll see
i was going to stop by friday
but there was a long line and they were only letting people in when someone came out
with the idea being 15 people in the store at a time
which i'm not sure i understand
i mean, i kinda do
but then there's the outside line situation
and they kinda lose me there
anyway
i drove by, saw the line, and said, abort

by the way
that f. scott fitzgerald letter that's going around the interwebs
i heard someone read it
and i was like
i don't think that sounds like f. scott
so
of course
i had to research it

the thing on the internet is fake
i thought as much
it's not nearly well enough written to be
and it seemed anachronistic as well

but all that almost begs the question
what should i read
i mean
i could tackle proust, maybe
but
would i like that
i had a philosophy professor
she re-read the novel formerly known as remembrance of things past
every year
it was like a touchstone for her
to check in with herself somehow
she did a similar thing with the waves
only not as often as every year

she is the professor that i had the most respect for
of all the professors i had
and i have often thought i should read those books
but whenever i have actually moved that direction
i have stopped and said
i don't think i want to do this

maybe now is the time
maybe audible
[maybe that's cheating
but how comforting, to be read to]

idk
it's an idea
