Day 10,234
Apr. 19th, 2005 06:52 amI was born on a Tuesday. That means I'm supposed to be full of grace. Perhaps I was meant to be born on a Wednesday instead and it was just an accident I was born at nine in the morning so many days ago.
Years have associations. When something was a year ago it seems like I can pin a definite length upon it. But say something was 360 days ago and it ceases to have the same meaning. Though I suppose it could if we were used to using them. Though it would be rather a bummer for small children to celebrate a special day for them every thousand days as they'd come much less often. Though I suppose if they did come less often they might be bigger. Plus a child might have a change of remembering his first celebration years later if it happened at day 1,000 rather than 365.
If I had not made promises I would turn over and go back to bed now. I don't want to be awake. But promises have been made and so I will get up shortly to shower and then to shift books and such like. One more day down.
