Monday is

Monday is writing pointless briefs, making awkward phonecalls, sending scary emails and getting good responses.

Monday is thinking about Simona, planning valentines celebrations, looking longingly at photos of my home, having good conversations with my boss.

Monday is finishing my book and looking forward to starting a new one, cooking pasta for tea, choosing my lunch, listening to the radio while we do the dishes together, feeling excited about my PhD, finishing a crossword. Doing the washing. Watching tele. Feeling afraid of insect sounds. Going to bed in my own bed, in my own room to the chirp of cicadas.
