Voyage of Rediscovery

Tonight, I have rediscovered:

1. The agony of far too many math problems of busywork with no shortcuts allowed in a lengthy concept that nevertheless I had no problems with back when I first learned it in SECOND GRADE and do not need to repeat and repeat ad nausuem. It's enough to make me want Calculus.

2. The fact that the ending of ESB makes me miserable and jumpy and in the mood to write five dozen AUs. The only cure for this is instant application of Return of the Jedi, but nooo, I had to do the above mentioned math homework.

3. And the joy of playing my flute! That felt nice to pick up again. Oddly, now that I'm no longer in a band, I find myself gravitating towards my el cheapo beginner's flute, and not just because my nice one refuses to play "F".

Busy work is the bane of existence for an intelligent mind. Sadly, it is also unavoidable on this earth. If it's not math problems, it's toilets to be cleaned, or checklists to be filled out, or some other such droning nonsense. Hang in there. I don't know what ESBs or AUs are. But again, hang in there. Happily there are also moments of joy like hearing that your niece has rediscovered her flute! Kisses, Aunt Mary
