All I wanted was to relax for a bit under a tree, reading my book.
As I'm walking to the park, I get honked at by some guys in a Salvation Army truck.
Two hummingbirds swoop very near my head into some flower-filled hedges. I suspect either a territorial issue, or a mating ritual. (Either way, I was amused.)
Closer to the park I realize the sprinklers are running, therefore thwarting my original plan to lay down next to my usual spot.
I received a phone call from R, who's heading back to Afghanistan today. I'll miss her terribly.
I read maybe two paragraphs worth of the book I need to finish for my book club on Saturday.
Definitely not how I expected my lunch to go, but still, it brought a smile to my face.
Well, except for the honking- seriously, how the fuck is that flattering?

This was never about you.
Say I'm selfish (this I knew)
it will not change my world.
What you thought I'd say is wrong
I don't know where you're coming from,
my life's not yours to unfurl.
You cannot ask for me to stay,
I simply wasn't built that way-
what I am is all wrong turns.
Save yourself while you still can
trust me, I will understand.
I will be smiling as I burn.
