Today went by in a blur. But not a good blur. It was a headache-filled, cold-bones blur punctuated by sharp metaphorical body blows and annoyances. Usually when things go by in a blur, the day doesn’t sting as much. As I navigated the fog, I kept singing the Talking Head’s Once in a Lifetime.
In particular, I kept shaking my head to myself saying “same as it ever was”.
“And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world.
Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by“
Sometimes, actually quite often, things don’t change. No matter what, the hamster wheel keeps spinning. Same as it ever was.

You seem to have been focused on fog for the last few posts.
But it’s all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself

That is true. Everyone has a different demand and at times, immediate. Need to be true to oneself…
