Morning crusade

A dubiously sunny morning, looming with the prospects of suddenly turning sour and shadowy. It could happen both ways.
Something like a coin toss. Let's leave it to chance.
Hopefully it stays as bright as it ensures this moment, it one can never tell.

Say one thing about last night, say I had a fitful sleep. It was sprinkled with a a myriad of mad dreams that had me tossing and turning in my warm cotton grotto, but overall it was the best sleep I had this entire week. I didn't wake up aching, irritated or tired. So that's a plus.

This one dream I remember because it was a morning dream. My body clock woke me up ghastly early, and I had to beseech it back to sleep, and that's when this dream happened. I remember it in bits and parts but..

I was at a superstore pushing a shopping cart. That damned store had no ramps, only stairs and it was mighty difficult to pull and push a cart over stairs. So mostly I jumped whenever I had to go to another floor, along with my cart. I didn't get hurt, just received tiny jolts up my ankle that sort of died by the time they reached my knees.
I found myself standing in a line to buy tofu. And it was a long line. There were others things along with tofu that looked a bit similar in shape. Paneer perhaps.
These items were stacked behind the cashier in carved out minarets, and I wondered how they're going to cut out minars of tofu. The line wasn't moving because the saleswoman was arguing with a customer and it took forever. So I let myself out of the long queue and turned a corner to find that I'd reached parking. But I didn't buy anything.

I woke up and felt a bit sad that even my dreams have me going to buy groceries.
It's Friday, and I'm in an unusually good mood. I don't know why. Perhaps the prospect of finally sitting down to read a PDF long overdue. Ah yes, that might be it.
Finding semblance of a face between words. Splicing spaces and commas to put together a limerick of love. Sigh.

As I write the sun disappears, hopefully to reappear again.
I'm thinking of working out this morning instead of the usual late afternoon/evening. Always a good thing to tire yourself first thing in the day.
Let's stuff me with some carbs and get on with a bit of cardio.

Soon. Hearts.
