I did something today I haven't done in a while... The one class I had today was cancelled, so I stayed in bed for as long as I liked, which, was now. It felt so delicious to lay in bed for as long as seemed pleasing. I dozed, snuggling close with my kitties, who were thrilled that I chose not to get up and run about the house like a madwoman this morning. I heard the girl next door to me get up at ten and take a shower, her bathroom is on the other side of my bedroom. I heard her dry her hair, fuss a bit in her place then leave. I simply lay there smiling that I was still in bed, though I did wonder what she does that she has the luxury of getting up so late. I had no dreams, mercifully, my dreams are usually macabre horror shows that vaguely resemble what my life might be like if I transferred it into a very well made monster movie. I was interrupted only by D calling me to complain about his frustrating morning, and I confess, selfishly I was glad I didn't have to be there for any of it. So, I basked in bed for hours longer that I normally would have and I just got up, I'm drinking chai in my office, and listening to a CD that promises that it is "relaxing." I have the windows open, the tips of my fingers and toes feel a bit cold. There is a fresh smelling breeze that sneaks in every few minutes, it hints that spring is close, that warmer days are coming. The light from my old windows reflected on the walls looks like water. It is days like today that I'm happy that my apartment is on the north side of the building, I like the shadowy way that everything seems so comforting. I love old buildings, especially mine. My only plans for today are to complete a bit of homework, take the trash out, and go for a long run. There are some areas of my neighborhood, back by the park, that I am dying to explore! D is coming over for dinner, which by now is sooner rather than later, so if I want to take my time about all of this I should run along. I think once in a while everyone should enjoy this kind of day, being alone and enjoying it is so fulfilling.
