An overly-specific list of things I
Love,
February

calendars with pretty pictures in august, my birth month, the month with no holidays or glorious season, the month always always always where the ugliest picture gets relegated.

irish breakfast tea. the cheap kind that i can afford. strong. with lots of cream so then not very strong anymore. a lost potential i don’t need to mourn.

leap years. leap day. february’s chance to wear heels, to catch up. and yet…still, even then, she’s shorter than all the others. (i sympathize.) the way february sashays around anyway. (i take note.)

lemon ricotta cookies. i bake barely, rarely, and badly, but these i love.

the click click click of my mechanical pencil. less frenetic than the keyboard, but still so satisfying.

the lines in the carpet after vacuuming.

the instrumentals from the OST to Rookie Historian, playing in the background.

day-dreaming. not (ever) being too old for day-dreaming.

the space we call the segue. too wide to be a hallway, but somewhat useless as anything else. lined with bookshelves and a couple of chairs. wood floors we all slide across in socks, as we move from one part of the house to the other.

fake pretend bad poetry. i mean it. send it to me even when it stops being february. i love it.

sunshine, rain, wind, heat. anything but the cold.

the grand adventure that my other blue-and-grey mitten must have gone on with my other black-and-white sock in these past few (coldest.) days. it better be the grandest adventure ever.

Love, February
