I wish I could write about nights so crisp you could sleep outside. The smell of the trees coming back to life after the recent freeze and the hint of nicotine floating down from the neighbors above. It isn’t warm enough for bugs, well, maybe the occasional stink bug and some crickets, who seem to want to sing me their lullabies which is only interrupted by the occasional car that reminds me that somewhere someone has a place to go.
I wish I could write about the very moment you wake up. Those first thoughts of the time, things to do for the day, wishing you had five more minutes to lie back down. Then sitting up and stretching, your muscles tight from laying down for so long. The instant feeling of needing to relieve yourself, and deciding to brush your teeth because your mouth tastes filmy.
I wish I could write about Pokemon, and how exciting it is to find a new one in some tall grass. The feeling you get when you capture one and the creature doesn’t escape. How good it feels to defeat an enemy and find yourself in a new city.
But instead I have to choose a topic like “Holiday Food Safety Concerns” or “Disaster Planning” or “Superbugs”. Which doesn’t sound interesting at all.
