Yesterday stank. Lot of pain and much brain weasels. Passed the time clicking through channels, scrolling through screens, and generally not getting Shit Done.

Felt better today and realized that one of the worst parts of yesterday was my conviction that "this was the new normal," that things would never improve.

Then BOOM! an insight:

Being sure that there is no chance of improvement isn’t a response to a shitty day: it’s a symptom of a shitty day.

In conclusion: lilies are blooming.

six stamens cast six shadows on six fire engine red petals described in entry

one stem, one full bloom, one furled & ready for this afternoon, four for later this week described in entry

Lilies are also an exemplar in that, once planted, they do their lovely thing for years.
