It's Monday again. I'm sitting here in the mostly dark with just my candle burning. It's quite, which is nice after a long day enveloped by noise. I spend the day answering the phone. I got yelled at once, had the smoke alarm blaring in my ear because a caller burned his toast, listened to the "drums" of a child banging on pots and pans while his mom tried to transact some banking with me on the phone. I think probably I'll lose a large part of the hearing in my right ear because it's subjected to unrelenting loudness all day. And that's to say nothing of the coughing, hacking, drinking, smacking sounds eminating from the cube next to me.

But right now it's quiet. I'd like to go to the library and get a book on tape, but they close too early for that on Mondays. I'll probably head downstairs and work on some pottery in a bit. Stick in a movie or something.

I'm tired tired tired, but I have some pots that need attention before they dry out.

Well, that's all I have the energy for tonight!
