white white sky x STILL

as i have mentioned, last year for me was a bit of a blur. in an effort to get myself out of my ennui, i have been making plans for the new year. among other things, i have decided that a little more variety and stimulation would be a good goal. so, in a fit of good intentions, last night i went to a water aerobics class. for those of you who know me, this is way outside my ordinary. i don’t do aerobics, i don’t like chlorinated pools, and i hate leaving the house after dark in the coldest months of winter. but it was actually fun. and i was glad to have tried it. so i woke up this monring feeling pretty good about myself, and wondering what other new things i should open myself up to in the coming months. around 10 am i swung by my mom’s house to bring her a few things, and i looked at her eye and the whole thing was redder than these crabapples. so, off to the urgent care we went. and five hours later i was pulling back into my driveway and was thanking the universe for winter white skies to use for STILL when my day becomes not my own in (literally) the blink of an eye.
