another long Monday

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.11.20

I'm taking an evening class, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit but it turns my Mondays into 9AM - 9PM affairs. A tad long, given my exhausting job and the non-trivial matter of the course. At the end of it all, today, I faced another brisk ride in strong wind.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
