Winter fog this morning, heavier than it’s been in months. It was down to the building tops as late as 10 AM – I haven’t been back out since, but I doubt it’s sunny at all. Just cool-to-cold gray mist in all directions.
And that’s fine. In fact, it’s great. The fog is a blanket, a shield, something that makes it easy to bundle up and cocoon and get away from it all. Sometimes, you just need distraction and you’re better off without too much brightness.
I’ll be interested to see how things go this year – I do intend to keep up the shutdown nights, since I more or less succeeded with it in 2011. Odds are that Tuesday and Thursday will probably be nights to go to the YMCA and work out and run, although that may have to wait for next week to start in earnest.
No soda yet today, impressively enough – I have found and consumed water once my morning coffee ran out. Next step: get up in enough time to make the coffee in the morning. May have to run out for that new cup sooner than I thought if I’m going to transport the stuff.
I think that’s it for resolution updates for January 3, except to say that I’m trying to figure out when to go to Trials or O’Flaherty’s again. Trying to make that a thing and failing has been a January tradition for quite some time now, but I think the 5-time would be good. When I was thinking about why I have this vision of an empty street at night with dim light coming out of the window of one place, I’m pretty sure I was remembering being outside Trials and not realizing what I was remembering. So maybe Sunday night, or the Sunday night after, or…sometime.
