Relaxing without spending money. It makes me realise the extent to which relaxation – and everything else I guess – has been monetised.
Take a bit of time down. Go for a nice meal. Or travel to a place in a powered vehicle. Maybe overnight in a rented room. Eat food cooked by others. Or if you’re at home, purchase more expensive food than usual, you deserve it. Buy chocolate or something nice but not essential. Crank up the heating, buy a streaming channel for a trial month and forget to cancel. Go to the theatre HI EVERYONE. Go watch sport. Purchase alcohol. Not drugs, drugs are bad and also a cash economy so uncontrollable so better alcohol, yes yes?
Easter!
It is the time when Jesus emerged fully grown from the egg that was thrown into the Euphrates, momentarily putting himself together after being torn into 14 pieces, missing just the eye that gave him wisdom as he was bound to the crossed tree. Now he is back from Utah where he ate the pomegranate seeds, light can return to the world once more.
We celebrate his return to his lover Ishtar, and the time when the disciples rolled the stone away to find just the single shoe and the knowledge that while he hid in death from Toltec he gathered the bones that made the first humans, and brought them fire while the eagle ate his liver.
It is very important we get this myth right.
I put cheap egg in face. I bought cheap meat. I put meat in face. I bought reduced asparagus. All in face. Now I am done with my celebration of the chocolate resurrection and I’m gonna go to sleep and dream of happy rabbits with a mild headache from too much sugar. One entire reduced milky bar egg and all the trimmings.
Bedtime.
