(I don't know if I've ever "professionally" used that disreputable open before) that, some days, every little thing matters, has an effect on your life, is critical to getting what you want (or whatever)?

But other times, you go through days (or weeks or months) where nothing happens that fundamentally changes the nature of your existence -- March 13th might as well be November 3rd.

These last few days have felt like animation in-betweens; mere fillers between the key poses that are life's pivotal moments. My relationships are static, my creative endeavors not quite poised to explode.

It's quite a change from last week, when I felt on the verge of romantic loss.

But just 'cause things are stable doesn't mean the disaster I feared isn't coming.

Nothing bad has happened in this period of interchangeable days.

But neither has anything good.
