We've been on a bit of a high these days about boat life. But yesterday it all came crashing down for me. Don't worry, it was just a momentary thing. It's always interesting to me how your perspective on things can change so quickly and so drastically. Last night there was a severe thunderstorm in Boston that hit just at the end of the work day. Traffic was terrible so I decided to walk in the rain which was unpleasant but the awful part was the lightening. It felt unsafe. Then I had to walk over the bridge which made me feel like a sitting duck. Worse yet, the idea of home being a boat felt ridiculous. And then arriving home on the boat, it felt dank and messy. But as these things go, Chris got home, we had dinner, I unloaded my hard day on him (and shamefully never asked him about his day). And then I felt better. It did occur to me on the walk home that I should have just popped into this movie theater. It was $10 Tuesday afterall. I could have saved myself the emotional rollercoaster
That's what I do when I'm having a bad day, I just pop into the Machias Multiplex, enjoy a movie, drink a Starbucks and Uber home.
ReplyDeleteSee, its all in your perspective.
DeleteIn your case it's perspective; in mine it's straight delusion.
DeleteThis took me down a rabbit hole of googling movie theaters in and around Machias, ME to see if Michael was joking or not.
DeleteThere was once a beautiful movie theater in Machias. It was turned into a nightclub, and then "lost" in a fire--the owner went to prison for insurance fraud. Alice probably doesn't know this, but it was on the site of the parking lot next to my mother's old house on Free Street.
