when the sun don't shine

the sun did not wake up with me today as it usually does.
on most days, when i sit on the couch to have my morning coffee, the sun is shining right at me and its rays warms my otherwise chilly mornings.
but today, it was nowhere in sight, hidden by a thick fog.
even the view of the river and the prominent bridge that goes over that river has been taken away by the fog.
it's kinda like the clouds in the sky has extended its way down to earth.

nice. but not good.

coz i just want to climb back into bed, huddle up with my pillows and bolster under my four layers of blanket.
but i know i can't because of the pile of notes that doesn't seem to shrink no matter how long i spend on them.
i sit at my desk.
my mindless gaze shuffles between the laptop screen and the random paper i have strewn all over the desk.
then i click some buttons and navigate my way around the world wide web, wandering aimlessly into the lives of others.
my notes stare back at me for neglecting them so i open a lecture note on powerpoint in attempts to jot down notes on Cartographic elements.
the horror of the times i spent getting 2 maps done overwhelms me and i refuse to spend anymore time with cartography.
this led to my fingers finding their way here and those same itchy fingers did this, this whole thing.

sigh... i lose my sense of time when there's no proper start to a morning.
i'm blaming it on the winter fog.
