Today is another day in a series when I seem to have repeatedly written a theme, based on the timeframe of 'today'. There's a certain mood, obviously, a particular feeling in a specific moment. The day after. Today. What comes now, Titus Bird, what then? What would happen if everyone came to me with that question? What if a million people wanted to know what my opinion was? I would probably run and hide, that's what. I don't really want to blow the lid off of anything, I mostly just want to be left alone. Today I refuse to be overwhelmed by the enormity of it all, because today is the day...

Today is the day...
...I tell the landlord I'm only mailing him most of the rent. Today is the day I tell my advisor where I am with my project. Today is the day is go to the mall with my resume, paint on the smile and get a crappy job. Today is the day I finish my degree in one last jet-burn of 'can do'. Today is the day. Today is the day. Today is the day after Halloween, or Samhain, as I liked to call it, back when I was making a point - a bright, cold, clear morning, I sent the boy off to school with a hat and gloves, still stinky and unwashed from last Winter, but wearing them, nonetheless. I'll add it to the list...

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.
