Just one girl trying to not to drop anything too important...

because the sun is not out today and I have not been strolling through the fields

Instead, it is cloudy. My butt is pressed firmly onto the desk chair and my eyes are locked onto the cursor as it moves around my computer monitor. My sinuses are congested, and I think it's a cold and not just allergies. I have a headache. I have to pick the kids up in 4 1/2 hours, have dinner ready in 5 1/2 hours, and teach Jazzercise in 7 hours. In the meantime, I am working. So, for these five minutes, I choose to say "fuck it all" and to ponder the meaning of the grasshopper.

The Summer Day by Mary Oliver (from the Poetry 180 series which I also mentioned here).
