...what a truly ugly day...

Decided against mean yoga again. Just couldn't bring myself to do that walk, and then deal with back pain later. Maybe I will stretch or walk later. sigh. I wish I had shoes that fit.

Wow, it's grey and miserable out - but I can still see all the way downtown to Canada Place, the TV tower, and of course the harbor cranes over the inlet. The bright orange harbor cranes with the orange lights kind of remind me of northern Germany - come to think of it, so does the weather.

Our house sits high on a hill, and I can see all the leafless, brown trees through the pouring rain down in Strathcona - and something I don't think I've noticed before: it looks like some kind of orthodox church, with a bright blue domes. huh. I didn't realize we had one of those. Right now there's a mean fog rolling into the inlet, and it looks like it's going to completely obscure North Van. in a few minutes.

It's nasty, blah weather. It's kind of making me feel nasty and blah. I have a feeling of listlessness. I kind of want to do something, but not. K asked me if I wanted to go out with him. Yeah, maybe. or not. It's wet, and I don't want to put on trousers. and I only have one pair of shoes. I want to be sitting in a big cozy room with tall glass windows overlooking a field or water - where I can watch the raindrops hit the pane, sigh, and feel warm by a fireplace. Or maybe, I'll just put in a Jane Austin movie - "It always rains in Bahth."

I should do some work, you know. But maybe a Jane Austin movie first. And maybe some food. Yes, it's time to invoke all kinds of comforts - comfort foods, comfort moods, comfort movies.
