I like days where the sun doesn’t hurt my eyes.

Grant it, it never hurts my eyes per se. It’s more like it leads to muscles surrounding the eyes working harder to keep them closed (which I guess implies it’s easier – i.e. it’s the default, of sorts – to keep them open. Is that why movies often show someone manually closing the eyelids of someone who’s just died?).

But you know how it becomes easier to say something not completely accurate, than to spell it all out in words numbering half of infinity minus one.

Today just so happens to be one of those days. I mean, where the sun isn’t hurting my eyes.

I suspect the winter climate here will prove to be the most challenging I’ve ever lived in, mainly because there’s a lot of wind, and wind has found – if not invented – ways to torment me ever since I can remember.

But, of course, whatever. Life, other than wind, is too good to let a little wind get in the way. I suppose a different case could be made for a lot of wind. But now it feels foolish to be talking in terms of “a little” or “a lot” of something that apparently doesn’t even have units of measure.

If it does, please tell me what it is.

So, anyway, it’s grey and blustery out, and this magnificent cup of tea cooled faster than I could drink it, given I’m also doing all this typing. And, of course, much (most?) of the time typing was actually spent between the typing, wondering what to write, correcting spelling and grammar mistakes, attempting to be clearer, and otherwise protecting the reader from a negative experience, here.

My shoulders and microscopic pectorals are a bit sore today for having over-exercised them yesterday, after having not done so for weeks, dang it very much.

We’ll be driving in far from optimal weather conditions, and I’m not thrilled about it. But I’m often leaning in the direction of assumed gloom and doom, only to discover I wound up having a great time. But then I’m a raving lunatic with respect to Murphy’s Law, and pretty much believe it’s best to assume gloom and doom in order for things to work out alright. And, of course, I hope that having explained that, here, doesn’t mess with the madness of my method.
