I found myself just now standing in the kitchen and looking at the huge shadow of my bedhead hair on the kitchen window blinds. With all the lights off in here except for the bathroom light, it ends up casting the perfect beam for a shadow puppet show against the kitchen window for anybody in that highrise across the street from this building. Currently they must think I am doing my Kramer character from Sienfeld. This is some big bed head.

I was just standing there though, not nearly as animated as Kramer, maybe I'm just a cardboard cutout. I was just leaning against the counter,listening to the mechanical gurgle of the coffee machine, waiting for that telltale hiss of the final bit of hot water pumping through it. I should be getting ready for work. Im hung over and thats not good because I didnt go out last night and nobody came over. I was standing there thinking up dumb little quotes like
all I want for Christmas is an apology and
Funny, Ive given up on life, but life doesnt appear to have given up on me.

Meaning no matter how yucky and sad this gets, this heart just wont stop beating. Thank you heart, Ill appreciate that one day in the future.

Then, with shadow still just painted over the same spot on the blinds, I was thinking dates, how many days till xmas now, Mr Wolf?... well its what, the 21st today. 4 days left.

Wait a fuckin minute, and my shadow stood up. The 21st?? todays that day!
Todays the day I wrote about back on December 1st. RIGHT!

Totally forgot about that (as usual, another lost epiphany) sorry kids.
Ok, righto! chin up old chap. Stiff upper lip, Or as my grandpa always used to say
keep your head down and your tail up

(or was that tail down and head up,?)
Anyways, in 26 minutes, I am going to know that the sun is rising straight up, and I am really quite happy to have remembered this.
Happy Solstice day everybody
