Haiku for the week

Bad habits like snow:
Clearing the path seems too hard.
More will fall later.


This week has been a graveyard of good intentions. I was all fired up to embark upon some major lifestyle reforms - cutting out the booze, tidying the apartment, starting regular exercise again, crash dieting, getting down to some serious writing - but..... well, the weather has been sucking the life out of me. Low light and draining humidity has reduced me to wretched torpidity.

Must..... get..... up..... and..... DO......... something.

Dat ole Debil, inertia.

For some weeks now, The Missus has been gripped by pre-retirement fever. We're both a few years away from the earliest practical moment, but just taking off a few days in each of a couple of back-to-back weeks seems to have thrown a switch in her head. And my own inoculations against that fever seem to be wearing out.

I am fighting back. But a sudden lull in work is an unwelcome companion to a fortnight of 90% humidity.
