whether or not

It has been raining for the last two days almost constantly. For all the people who live in difficult places and flood zones, my thoughts are with them. The video footage on Facebook show a tough situation for drivers recording what they see. I have been fortunate. I didn't have to work today,so I could avoid the stress of traveling in it. What today did for me is allow me to have an actual holiday. I spent it online and basically vegging out. I did do some work, and of course I also did a lot of thinking. I find that I am mellow tonight. I can think without stressing about things and I want to take advantage of that. I also like that I can spend a bit of time from project to project instead of feeling that I must complete something right away when I have many things to do at the same time. I now get much more done. Work has also prepared me for this way of doing things, as I have to make every moment count. I meet with a colleague next week to discuss an alternative to what I am doing now. I am excited about that. We compare notes sometime and it helps me feel less stressed knowing that foolishness isn't only happening to me. Then, I also think about The Towers intermittently. I have told only one person who knew him about what has happened with him. I do not feel that it is my place to alert anyone to what has gone on. Interestingly enough, no one has seemed to have picked up on what he did in the news BUT his friend and I! That is quite amazing, or it speaks to how much sensationalism tops him at this particular moment. I believe that it is possibly the latter. The Towers leads to other thoughts as well. On a rainy day like this, my mind is expected to wonder over him. But tonight I am more neutral. Or I should say, wistful, and for that, I am grateful.
