As I was washing up and making breakfast this morning, the sun shone directly into my eyes and reflected off the countertop and sink. It was semi-blinding, but pleasant at the same time. Doing makeup became a challenge since it was so bright, it was difficult to tell what it looked like. This is the sort of lighting that makes you think there is little to no product covering the skin until you get to the office and, in the less bright and harsh lighting, discover you look like a clown <grin>. I've learned to be light-handed on such brightly lit mornings.
The day was fairly bright as well -- lecture, meetings, and shopping going well and some unexpected sales at the grocery store. Cloud arrived into the afternoon and is to bring a small bit of rain tonight and into tomorrow. It won't wash away the snow, but could add a crusty ice topping to the snow piles around town. The warmer temperatures may also create ice on the roof and in the gutters, but we'll deal with that as it arrives. Today, I just enjoyed the sun and tried to ignore any silliness that arose -- not fully successful there, but working on it.
The morning brightness fits the opening lines of a song by a Canadian 'alt rock with country overtones' group. The lyrics are intriguing and follow a stream of consciousness style of writing -- at least to me. Enjoy!
