Nonsequitur Life

Hey listen.

It’s technically still April.

Timestamps tell me I started this draft on March 31st, edited it on April 1st and didn’t touch it again until today. There was about half a paragraph written that didn’t make any sense, so I deleted it.

I am disconnected and unfocused and unproductive and unsettled by it all.

No–no, more than usual.

I don’t recall ever having such a useless stretch of time that didn’t involve bad medication side effects. March and April felt a lot like Summer of Zoloft 2019, but I didn’t spend the entire time literally staring at the wall like I did then. I mostly spent it watching multiple seasons of Murder She Wrote and Columbo while heavily fixating on floor plans for stories I’m probably not even going to write.

Anyway.

Bob and I were talking in the bedroom the other day when I noticed something move out the window. At first I thought it was just a bird flying away from the neighbor’s tree, but then I saw something big on the roof across the street.

It was definitely a bird, just not the robin/sparrow/chickadee I expected.

The turkeys are back.

At least I had access to a camera this time. Even if it’s super zoomed in and blurry.

But turkey.

She conceded to drop off the monthly Last.fm stats as she moseyed across the eve, flew up to the next peak, then up higher, and eventually strolled over the ridge toward the woods.
