desperanceI am not the embodiment of virtue, but I do try to be. I have no set habit of work here, but I am reaching for it. As witness: I had donned my sandals and my cap, I had packed my manuscript in my bag, I was at the door and heading for my substitute-office, a cafe downtown of which I am passing fond.
I set foot outside, and brr. It is raining again, and chilly out there. And I am full of cold yet; and this is California, in June: I don't want to dig out socks and boots, and pull a jacket on over my T-shirt, and hustle off with my head down and my shoulders hunched against the weather.
I am making a fresh pot of my own coffee, and am staying home. I shall spread my work out over the kitchen table, and see if I can get it done regardless. If not, if I submit to the siren song of couch and O'Brian, well, hey. At least I tried.
[EtA: hmm. I appear to have written this but not posted it. Maybe I'm sick or something... Anyway: I did stay home, and I didn't finish my work, and I did spend significant time on the couch. Which I never called a couch, before I came here. I thought language was hard-wired, but apparently not.]
