Life indoors

It's the most beautiful day--air conditioners all over the city have been turned off, it's fall weather, happy weather, Northern California weather. It's a crisp blue sky, the smell of clean and that tugging childhood feeling of possibility. But instead of what we had planned, I'll be home taking care of Annie who woke up feeling under this weather.

But we'll open the windows and put on Charlie Parker--I'll clean, she'll read, we'll watch movies--I may even convince her to go for a walk. Because whatever the weather--in or under it, everything's unfolding just as it should--and it is the most beautiful day.
