working weather

The weather outside is not very nice. And this makes for long days I find.

The past couple of weeks, I've gotten into the habit of eating my lunch in the park near work. It works great because I get to (1) eat lunch (2) be outside, and (3) refer to (2). The rain and mugginess and fear of downpours have kept me from enjoying this midday treat since last week sometime.

I really like being outside for the little period of my day. I look forward to it, and then I enjoy it so so much, and then I come back into work with the attitude of "alright, I CAN do this!". The outside is kind of like my (magical) new shoes.
