This evening, I was feeling . . . well, the best word for it is ugh. You know those days: depressing and boring. Nobody's around, so I can't spend time with someone to take me out of myself. And I can't drive, so . . .
As I'm sitting outside, I realize we got a lot of concrete out by our pool. And you know, I want to do something that I've never done, at least in a long while. Thus it came to be that I walked down to Walgreens, bought a box of 15 colors of chalk, and returned as it was getting dark to begin work.
Now the area around my pool is covered in drawings and writing. I drew a bizarrely colored tree . . . the Uffington White Horse and Wilmington Mound (since these are made of chalk, I find it only fitting . . . a few weird little creatures of animals stuck together . . . and the leftover chalk was employed in copying out The Raven by the diving board.
I am very happy. I've spent three hours on my hands and knees scraping up my palms (had to bandage myself), and I am as happy as can be. I only wonder my family's reaction when they get home.
