Where is My Mind?
“I was swimmin’ in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin’ to talk to me, coy koi.Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin?”- “Where is My Mind?” The Pixes
I felt my mood lift today. Several variables probably at play here. (See prior post.)
1) I did a fair amount of work today at the hospital. I used my brain. I used my “skillz.” This makes me happy.
2) It only got up to around 80 degrees F today. Plus it rained. Less sweltering. And now I don’t have to water my urban garden.
3) I went for a great 10-mile run yesterday. The heat forced it to be more of a run/jog/walk. But I did it. And it felt gooooood.
I also ate a yummy meal at a newly discovered tapas/Mediterranean restaurant in Brooklyn yesterday called Mazzat. Sangria + hummus + pita + olives + manchego cheese + tomatoes = happy Dr. Psychobabble.
I might even make dinner tonight. (Lately I have been living off of leftovers and delivery as a way to avoid using my stove/oven in the blistering heat.)
Enjoy the photos with this post: 1) “Prom Queen,” a dress hanging outside of the above mentioned restaurant. 2) A “40 year old tree” inside the restaurant.
