I'm
not quite sure how yesterday got away on me, but it
did, completely. I think it was the unexpected call from Harriet, inviting me to join her for an overnight stay while her daughter attended a sports competition. She is big hearted, and thinking of me. What a gal. Wouldn't you know it that this invitation coincided exactly with one of Attila's rare weekends off work! These weekends are a time when Attila and I can spend time together. So, I had to turn down Harriet's offer with some regret at the coincidence of opportunities. Sigh, everything seems to happen at once! The kind offer and having to decline the kind offer threw me for loop, disoriented my sense of trajectory. This is a good thing. Cabin fever means closing in on oneself; the ability and then the desire to walk amongst other humans is thwarted and eventually fades. Possibilities no longer present themselves as such, but as interruptions to a carefully maintained regimen created to survive isolation. The offer disrupted the basis for cabin fever, lack of opportunity. It seems that yesterday my regimen received a welcome interruption and while coping with the change I lost my composure and so the day. Hopefully Harriet will understand and we can work out another time and place to spend time together. I would like that. It is above freezing today! The snow is melting, as is the snow awning that hangs down on the north side of the house. If this keeps up we will be able to see the sky when we look out the dining room window. |
