This is how I feel about some people.
They’ll always be a mystery to me. Because I’m afraid the key I have doesn’t quite fit. As corny as that sounds.
My parents are squirrels.
Particularly my dad. He goes about busily, flitting here, flitting there…always doing something. Currently he’s organizing his massive book collection. He’s re-shelving his books by alphabetical order of authors, categorizing by subject, by size, by colour…who knows. And he’s been at it for…4 hours now?
Just like how a chipmunk might sort the acorns he’s hoarded up in his tiny little burrow.
My recent days have been odd. Time passes irregularly. I have no grasp on what day it is or what the hour is. One day seeps into the other, and before I know it, a whole week has passed and I’ve accomplished nothing.
