It is absolutely SHOCKING to me that Thanksgiving is THIS week and we’re already moving into the winter holidays season. WTF, 2022? What happened?
This also means it’s been almost nine months since I quit FSU, and despite my financial situation still be precarious, I could not be happier. I was thinking about that while I walked Keely, in fact; how I was free to wait to walk her until the sun (and the temps!) rose a bit, how I could take as long as I wanted (if I took as long as she wanted, we’d never stop), how I can now sit on the patio at Lucky Goat Midtown with a latte (splurge!) and Keely and the beautiful weather.
As I wrote to a friend this morning, we live in a late-stage capitalistic hell-scape, but that doesn’t mean we have to bow to its demands every minute of the day!
Which puts me in mind of this mural, which exists on the side of Midtown Reader and probably does not get the respect it deserves. Reading with a friend! No better life than that!
