Still-Life with Eyeliner

puddles 

Life has been demanding and unproductive lately.

Outside my window, it's raining heavily, thundering enough to frighten the cats. It makes me so sleepy. Instead of giving in, I am rereading "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and trying to find enough energy to write something real today.

Though the summer began with good intentions, too much stuff has kept me from following through on most of it. I've decided to cut out caffeine for a little while in the hopes that my motivation will come back.

Door is sitting right up against my laptop. Einstein is pacing in and out of my doorway, avoiding the window because every time it thunders it makes him jump off the sill.

The idea of Codex Alimentarius bothers me quite a bit. Have you heard of it?
