August 15: TS Tea Time

[kinetic_elaboration]

Very long day, so I’m a little out of it. My brain’s been teeming the last few days. I think/hope in a sort of pre-creativity mode. And I’ve been working hard at work and less hard out of it. As always when I travel, I feel or imagine myself at some sort of inflection point. Being away from the things one must/should do makes them seem simultaneously more urgent and more possible.

Anyway. Today was TS-hosted tea at work, which went well and overall smoothly. I had just enough time to do what I had to do, actual-work wise, then eat lunch and prepare for tea. Then the tea itself, where conversation eventually veered too much into kitchen appliances for me, and then I left for the train.

I slept most of the trip and otherwise mostly spent time in my thoughts, contemplating, drifting. I think that was what I needed. I hope to sleep well tonight, too. I’m glad I am here.
