the Dalaverse

Still kind of down, and the rain isn't helping. I'm supposed to work from 11 to 6 today, but...fuck it. Just fuck it. I'm done in less than a week, and I never called out once the entire summer, not the day my dog died or when I got into a car accident fifteen minutes from the store. If it causes a problem, too fucking bad -- I'm not the one who keeps understaffing hard side. I'll have to leave the house before Daddy gets home. I suppose I'll go to the mall or the library or something.

I don't really know what this mild depression is. Part of it is Katherine leaving, and part of it is school-related, even though on most levels I miss it terribly and I can't wait to go back. It's just that...I'm halfway done with college (hopefully) and I have a lot of work to do to catch up with my new major, and I have to start becoming a real person now. It's scary. Hmmm. I guess I sort of do know what it is, then, I just wasn't expecting it. I feel like I should be actively enjoying all the things about home during my last week, doing something productive, but yesterday all I did was lie around and read and watch TV. Maybe the reading is productive, but still.

If it weren't gray and miserable, I'd go downtown.

Okay, probably I wouldn't because I'd feel compelled to spend money I do not have. But if I did, the Mammal Hall and an Imax movie would cheer me up. That's what some alternate universe Dala is doing right at this moment -- wandering from museum to museum and sitting by the Reflecting Pool or the WWII memorial, quietly and contentedly contemplating life, the universe, and everything.

So tell me: What are your AU selves doing today?
