I’m currently sitting at a nearby eatery, having lunch. I had planned on finishing a “catch-up” blog (as I call it) that I started working on about a week ago. I’ve been scatterbrained since I sat down. Rather than recall the previous week, I decided to just do my absent-minded blogging for right now. I’m lucky if I post this online, so here goes…
I’m doing some people watching as I gather my thoughts onto an open WP page. There are people walking by, some caught up in their conversations, others not paying attention to what is ahead of them. I see a mother and son sitting at the table directly in front of me. The son spent the entire 10 minutes since I've sat down complaining how his sandwich wasn’t done correctly, and has repeatedly asked his mother if they will re-do his sandwich in the way that he liked. Now, let me note that the son isn’t a little boy… he’s a TEENAGE boy. At the table to their left is a couple who looks like they are in their 50s, sitting in silence while they eat their meal. I wonder what they are both quietly thinking to themselves. I also see a young pregnant woman, sitting at a table to my right. She’s enjoying a light meal of bagel and cream cheese for lunch. She holds a piece of her bagel while she writes notes on the page of her "Mommy" book with a pen in her right hand. I see co-workers pass by me and wave hello as I don’t realize it happening since I’ve completely tuned out my audible surroundings.
Ugh, I wonder if people are doing the same thing about me - questioning my frantic typing (I am chatting online as well). Who knows? But oh, to be in the minds of others can be interesting sometimes…
