Malaise

There's a big deadline looming over my head, but now it's break time. I shall remain safely indoors lest I escape to the wilds of east Texas or my backyard. Maybe I've had too much Gilmore Girls season 1 viewing and nostalgic summer longing or maybe the atypically beautiful spring and then summer weather we've had here has melted my brain. It could also be too many consecutive days of working on school and work and home, or the utter lack of a routine...whatever it is, I'm in a funk. Unfortunately, when in that mood it pervades everything I see and feel like doing. Looking at my webpages I see that I've not posted pics in ages, and yet I do have pictures...somewhere. Now I find them but my access to webpages is not cooperating. Sadly for you, our entire trip to Greece last summer is missing from the web. Getting away sounds so good. I've been thinking about planned trips to New York and midwest later this summer and in my head I am on the road, picking the soundtrack and rest stop amusements and matching travel dates to baseball schedules. I read about this new history-minded walking path (de Anza expedition trail) in Cupertino hills and I long to be there or be anywhere with trees and fresh smells and my hiking boots on. But I'm supposed to be working. Deadlines really cramp my style.
