February 22--"Nobody Cares"

[zyzyly]

I was in a pretty good mood at work today. I walked around with a smile most of the day. My students are doing well, so no real worries. I walked around the outside of the hospital a few times. It was kind of cool--in the low 50s--but I like when it is cool like that. I managed to get in all my steps before I went home.

Just this moment:

Malida: "What are you doing?"

Me: "Writing a LiveJournal entry."

Malida: "Stop doing that."

Me: "Why?"

Malida: "Nobody cares."

Me (to myself): "I care. And so does Queen Elizabeth"

Queen Elizabeth tried to insert herself into my dreams again last night, but mostly failed. I've been watching The Crown before bed. I really like it.

We are going to spend the weekend at Point Reyes. I found a reasonable Airbnb room in town that doesn't require a two-ninth stay. I want to scope things out in anticipation of my coastal photography class coming up next week, and Malida wants to get some shots for her class portfolio. It is supposed to be sunny, but Point Reyes weather is funny. It can be sunny everywhere else, and fogged in there, or just the opposite. You never really know until you are there.

If it is foggy, then I will think of how to use the fog creatively. I know some places that would look very cool in the fog. I am hoping it is sunny, though, as I have some sunrise and sunset ideas that require actual sun.



I would like to catch this spot with some early morning or late afternoon light filtering in through the trees.



The old oyster farm that is no longer there. From 2011.

Some of us are still here and we read.... :)
So on some level someone cares.

I don't know if I "care", but I definitely read, and enjoy this reading a lot :)

That's not true! From you I learned about the lens ball and I bought me and my best friend one so that we will communicate better!

[basefinder]

Some of us DO care!

I totally do care! and I am not Queen Elizabeth.

[wantedonvoyage]

Aww, I care! I like reading about your adventures (and hers TBH). I've been "with" you guys for a long time. In fact you might be my longest regularly-active LJ friend at this point.

Elizabeth is on our list of things to watch.

Please tell Malida i care about her and her grandfather and the nieces and your back garden and your new plot of land and your Point Reyes class and her class....

And ... Point Reyes weather. Good luck.

I did enjoy getting a loaf of French bread en route to Point Reyes and then getting oysters at that oyster farm. Then sitting on a bluff and eating oysters and watching the sea and sky....

I ask myself a lot why I still post, whether I want to still post, etc., and I think about how different things are now from how they once were. But different doesn't mean bad, and, well, here I still am, too.

Does Malida think it's bad for you to post because you get hurt (by lack of response)? Or is it that she thinks it's a waste of time, or is it that she'd rather you were doing other things, or--?

[ocelot]

I know you said Malida was joking, but I still wanted to say that I do care, and notice when your posting patterns change, and get concerned about you.

I care. I see lots of people caring.

And I love your photography as well. Wow, that oyster farm.
