I only have a few minutes before I have to leave to play mah jongg, but there's not enough time to change the kitty litter, which I really wanted to get done before I went, but, oh, well.
Here's what was just going through my mind: I've been living alone for so many years, I am stuck inside my own head. It takes nearly a herculean effort to manage to look at the world around me, outside me and either see what others might see about me, or see that there are others out there. See what they're doing and saying.
As I've mentioned before, I have a cat and sometimes the only thing he's good for is to be there when I talk out loud, so I can pretend there's someone I'm actually talking to. True, sometimes I really am talking to him ("I hate you! Who's a good kitty? Why don't you eat what I give you?!!!). But a lot of times, well, I'm just talkin'.
Time to go.
