saved up for rainy days

after(math)

things lately have been like a series of summer storms. bright skies suddenly smeared by dark clouds and torrential downpour, then bright again just as fast. it's mostly good, but not knowing what to expect is starting to get to me. it's not that i need absolute, unchanging stability, just some level of balance would be nice. and it's tough to ask everyone to hold still-but-not-too-still. maybe i'm just craving a temporary change of pace.
work's also become mind-numbingly boring. it happens to most people, i suppose, but it's still an awful feeling. and this economy doesn't exactly favor changing jobs right now so i'll stay put until the forecast changes. at least it's only boring. it could be worse.
