A weird haze has settled over Jerusalem today. It's not humid enough to call it a mist. It looks a little like smoke, but I don't smell anything. I keep thinking my glasses are dirty, or my eyes are drier than usual, or my cataracts are getting worse. But it's just haze. Not gray enough to be smog, and not brown and gritty like a sandstorm.
Days like today I get an urge to do something different. I get tired of staying at home all the time, but I can't think of anything different to do. I guess I'll just have to do the ordinary stuff. So I guess that means I need to start washing dishes. That's pretty different, actually, since I haven't done any for 24 hours.
How can you take something extremely boring and ordinary and make something interesting about it? Sometimes by having something more interesting to look forward to doing later.
Let's see, I could look forward to eating that last piece of chocolate. But I eat chocolate almost every day anyway, so that's not really much different.
The only thing I can come up with is just to do the ordinary stuff as fast as possible, and eventually it will get interesting, or something will happen, or something.
