a new day

one day a week i wake up when i want to, mostly, unless the phone rings before noon or something else wakes me... today i woke at 11:58am and the phone rang at 12:01pm, just as i sat down in the living room without the phone... phones seem to know how to do that... in any case, the one day a week that i wake up when i want to is the only day that clearly feels like a brand new day these days cuz all the others seem to blend together as i wake, rush through the brief morning ritual of preparing this body for human interactions, and head out the door to the dance (though one day a week i head out to stand around at a boring softball practice, which is even more meaningless to the brain that knows it ought to be sleeping than the dance) and focus outside of myself for at least nine to ten hours...

i love brand new days :)
