I sit here at my stand up/sit down computer desk/station, not quite sure what I want to write about for today's post. Three things...hmmm:
- Spread before me are words on the desk top and the shelf that holds my Mac and phone - which needs a new battery or to be replaced. A book that I read in 2004 and pulled from the shelf, thinking I'll add it to the q-ue-ue.
- To my right, the book of time - a clock - ticks, ticks, ticks. The sound is comforting, especially on this sunny, cool August morn. A hint of Fall in the air. Soon, we will leave for Norman's 1 PM medical appointment. Today, I am missing my Thursday gathering with friends. I just received a text from one, touching base because she knew I wouldn't be there.
- On the desk top: a Rhodia dot grid reverse notebook. The book is called a reverse book because it can be used either in the portrait or landscape orientation. The 8.3 x 8.3 inch pages are perforated. I like Rhodia papers and notebooks: the paper's a great weight and there's very little shadowing or bleed. To my right, a scratch note pad for jotting down the inevitable notes, phone messages, ideas that generate throughout the course of the day. Sitting on the Rhodia notebook, a bookmark from a former staff member that surfaced the other day; I have it out to remind me to touch base with her so we can plan our second reunion in Oct/Nov.
Fifteen minutes, no doubt more, have passed since I sat to pen (type) this post. The sounds from inside and out are the usual: traffic; an ambulance siren. Oddly, no dog barking. Just the steady tick, tick, tick of the clock. It is cool enough - 72° F - to turn off the fans and open the windows, wide. I look out the window and see a father showing a toddler how to bounce a ball with his feet, as they do in soccer... the ball is almost as big as the toddler. Nevertheless, it's a fun moment to watch.
Hmm, for having nothing on my mind to write, my count shows 400 words. Another glance at the clock tells me it's time to wrap up this post, add the image and get ready to get ready to go. Happy Thursday!
Cheers~
