I'm doing my almost regular morning commute - becoming more and more regular as I continue to be stolen from the future. Today I had to return early in time for breakfast so I didn't jump on the 101. Instead I stayed on Sunset Blvd. and drove the entire stretch to the 2. I love Sunset. The few blocks through Hollywood were not as bright and twinkling because of the overcast sky. But I looked at the stars on the street signs and the sidewalk. I passed the Egyptian Theater, stripper stores, the Pantages and a big crowd of people lined up near some barricades nearby. I passed through the newly developed Western/Sunset block with the Metro and shopping center. Then skirted the edge of Los Feliz, through Silverlake and into Echo Park.
I was musing about living in LA and my recent cover photo and inclusion in the blogging article in the LA Times (Calendar). And how yesterday was such a day of ups and downs. It was a corkscrew roller coaster ride with Mom in town, the LA Times thing, training I had prepared for my company that had to be rescheduled at the last minute, Gloria's fabulous book signing and giving up coffee until the end of the year. And cramming in as much Sam as is possible.
Today I normalize. Try to get back to baseline, whatever that is. Baseline seems to be moving constantly these days, it's not much like a baseline. Wait a minute, that's a lie. I'm not trying to normalize at all. What I'm really trying to do is get used to my life. Get used to this extremely interesting life I have manifested. get used to the moving baseline. Sometimes it's so much like a dream, I forget it is real.
