slip slidin' away

yesterday it was cold and rainy and i had one of those days.

in 'slip slidin' away', paul simon sings:

i know a woman, became a wife

these are the very words she uses to describe her life

she said a good day ain't got no rain

she said a bad day is when i lie in bed and think of things that might have been.

he also says

the more you near your destination, the more you're slip slidin' away.

at times like these it's best to take the long view of life. i know it's coming i just have to be a little patient. and when i look around me, it's all there.

i started reading more joan didion and she's so amazing. i want to hold an anthology in my hands at the end of my life, and i want to have written it. but sometimes, reading her, i wonder if i can ever speak it so truly? i must learn to speak from my gut onto paper.

today i found a natural grocery near me (finally!!) and cleaned my whole apartment, including my bathtub, and took my first soak. i washed and oiled and gave myself a manicure and a pedicure.

tomorrow i have a job interview and the orientation for new york cares.

i'm ready for the world.
