Javier left at 6AM and I went back to sleep after seeing him off, waking up only at noon, which promised to screw up my entire day, because I felt like the day after New Year's celebration. I sat in total comatose on my couch wearing pajamas, staring at the TV yet somehow past its screen, unable to understand what time of day it is, pondering the futility of plans and resolutions. The only thing missing to complete the New Year's analogy was a tableful of leftover salads.
There is a bright side to the day after New Year's though – all your friends feel equally aimless on this day, so you all get together and wander around with the sole purpose of parking your behind in some comfortable spot to watch some good old movie (at least, this is the Russian routine). Fortunately, my vibes must have been fairly strong, as they attracted Dima, Tanya and Ronit to wander aimlessly around the city with me and eventually into my apartment for some sitting around prior to watching a great old movie, Clue.
Yet again, life is beautiful, and my fake New Year's resolution is "to have more of these relaxing aimless days in my life".
