It took much longer than usual for me to get to work today. I had just gotten out of the tube and was walking to the office when I ended up staring at the rain water swirling on the ground beside me. I had no idea it was raining. (!) The water ran out (all over the floor) and onto the next person standing in front of me. Still, I am thankful it poured without me knowing. I don’t do rain very well when I’m in my birks and when I don’t have an umbrella. I lose umbrellas a lot. I have this annoying habit of leaving them around. I don’t do it intentionally, but they somehow, well, just disappear.

Anyway, when I finally reached the office, I put my feet on the table because I was alone, and it felt nice- to be alone. Then, M walked in and stared at me with this small laugh that he does ever so often. I can never figure out what he means by that so I took my feet down and wrapped myself in a green blanket. It was too nice a moment to have it slip by.

I love it when the cold creeps into my toes. I used to put my head in the freezer when I was a kid. Sometimes, I would shove my hands into the ice-cream trucks and tins. And containers. I would pretend I was in the alps. Or in the snow. Or something. I can’t remember how old I was when I stopped putting my head in the freezer. I could have been 24. Today, the central air-conditioning is feeling a lot better and it is making the hair on my leg stand.

This weekend was an interesting one – I spent my saturday in a seminar and met reta who was lost. She was lost half the time she was down in Singapore. I must say it was nice to walk around little india and to bring her around – although di & i spent the whole of sunday wondering if she was lost (again). Fun times.

Today, someone told me to ‘just be’.

That is an interesting thought.
