It's been a long day. It's also been fairly unproductive, but that's not at all unusual for this weekend, and I don't object terribly. It's been unusual in any number of ways, because this combination of people and places is something I'm still trying to wrap my head around. I'll get there eventually, it's just a bit amusing at present. While on the subject of amusing things, a particular incident comes to mind that the strangest part of me wants to memorialize, so it will be related here.
Just to set the scene: it was raining and pretty cold out. So we (either you know who or you don't, but I'm not going to say any more than that) were sitting on a bench, under a canopy, along a fairly deserted path. A couple had walked by with a dog a few minutes before, but it was still raining and otherwise completely silent. And then in the middle of a kiss, we hear heavy footsteps falling.
Oops. "Good idea, keeping out of the rain." So we're sitting here, looking into the distance ahead of us, feeling more than a little bit awkward, as this guy walks by and says this. That was...odd. And thoroughly entertaining in that mildly mortifying, what-the-hell-just-happened sort of way. Regardless, it was amusing. Not to mention that the activities following that incident were just fun. So I'm really not upset about it.
On the whole, it was a pleasant day. Certainly an enjoyable, if slightly cold and wet, afternoon followed by an evening quiet enough to be appreciable. Tomorrow is going to involve a lot of catching up on the work I've been avoiding, but hopefully won't be too terrible. I guess we'll see how that goes and such, but hopefully everything will calm down and begin to resume some form of normalcy in the next couple of days (even though it's more likely to take a few weeks).
