Thoughts and things

I was driving home from work two days ago and I had a sense of something...it came on so strong, and even now it lingers in my mind. I could (and still can) smell the place, feel the day, the clothes I'm wearing in my head (if that makes any sense), and feel your presence with me.

The day is a winter's day. Not a cold february, more of a grey March, late in winter, not yet spring. We are in Sunnysides and it's a saturday. I can see the watery light coming through the window and shining on the wood floor by the Astrology books, and that is the smell I can smell. I love the scent of that store. In my image we're standing close together, looking at books, laughing and having fun. I think we buy something.

Then there's a jumble of images and feelings that follow. One is that we end up at Picolo Grande for hot chocolates. But more than that, I can see us in a living room. You're flopped in one chair reading and I'm flopped in another doing the same. I think you're in grey sweats and a bulky sweater, your comfy clothes. I'm in jeans and a button-down shirt and T. It all feels like "home".

I still now have the scent of Sunnyside in my mind, the image of watery sunlight in the window, and you with your legs over the arm of a chair.

I like that image.
