The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Put out that fire!

I can already tell that today is going to be damage control day. I have three issues so far that are on fire and there is someone pacing back and forth outside my door.

It's gray and rainy, though this afternoon promises to be springy. I wish I could just go get my bike and ride all afternoon. But NOOOOO, I get to stay here and put our fires.

On top of which indignity, I'm on the second day of a weight loss program. It's fruit day, and not the good kind. I start the day with a meat sandwich, which is totally gross for breakfast. I assume that's the plan, you take a bite of the meat sandwich, you yak into the sink, you go to work and eat nothing but fruit the rest of the day.

And my damn boss won't allow me to drink gin in my office.

So unfair.

Maybe I'll mount a protest, if I still have the strength after nothing but fruit all day.

Speaking of fires...
