Today on the way home from work I tortured myself. A situation presented itself that I could have dismissed easily or let myself get hung up on. Overthinking is something that I guess I am prone to do, though, so I took the opportunity to torture myself over nothing. Just as we were pulling around the corner from work, a large white truck drove by in the direction we were headed. It looked like someone was moving. A black futon was partially disassembled in the back and there was a young woman sitting with it in the back of the truck. I couldn’t make out her face because she was turned the other way, but her size and shape, her hair and build and sense of style – even the white top she was wearing – made her appear to be … an old love of mine.

So many things go on between the beginning of one day and the end of the next. So many new things come to light. So many things are said by so many people in such a short time. So why isn’t every two days as interesting as this? I guess that would make it less interesting overall for these things to happen.

There is so much and so little going on right now in my life. I have a nice corporate job doing something that comes easily to me. I maintain a website that allows me to express myself creatively through its own design and through the content I am producing for it. I have some interesting friends and some regular social activities that prevent me from being alone all the time, but I have my own space and time to myself when I need it. Yet despite this and all my other ambitions, I often have hours of time in which I just try to figure out what I should do for those hours. I know I have things to do. I often know of specific things and activities that I need to get accomplished, yet that I do not do. I do not know why. They often seem to be “little” things. Things that I do not have a priority for me. For one reason or another, they are easy to put off. Things like putting the Copyright notice back on the site. Or re-working part of the JavaScript to make all the pages load a little faster and to make updating the site a little easier. Or like taking out the trash or doing the dishes. These are things that can be done later. They will wait. The world will keep on spinning and lives will keep on living and I will still be around to do them tomorrow.
