Disappearing Act
Jan. 31st, 2006 08:36 pmNow you see me--
--now you don't. Because I'm in the space between, in the social cracks.
It's what they call a nasty day outside, or night rather, with the rain pouring down so that it soaks you in minutes, and driving sideways under the ultra-modern-looking but completely ineffectual bus 'shelters'. I worked today, stopped by home for a much-needed cuddle with my girlies and to pick up a toothbrush for catsitting and a chequebook for househunting, and then bussed on across town to the cat's house. She's settled in comfortably enough, as am I, though I'm still somewhat damp.
The bus ride here was over an hour long (of course it was, the 16 was involved, and it's the slowest bus in history). I has a lot of time to sit around and think about stuff, I haven't had that lately and it was nice.
I'm nothing if not predictable; my mind runs in the same sort of circles each time. Here are some thoughts, since no one will get much more than this from me until the weekend.

I'll leave thinking about balcony gardening for after I see if I end up with a balcony, and leave thinking about my plants at work for another post. In fact, this is enough typing for one evening; time for a touch of dinner, a book, a bath, sleep, and then some calling tomorrow for apartments. wish me luck.
