It’s Funny Being in Other People’s Spaces

I’m sitting in my living room, and with a fan going, the little fountain that provides the pet water gurgling, and the leaves fluttering outside three big windows, dancing in the light, there’s a tremendous sense of movement.

Good thing he loves me, and lets me do it. (Sometimes he even remembers to open the windows in advance for me…)

I would not do well in a tiny capsule hurtling through space, I’m afraid. Yet another reason I would make a terrible astronaut, despite childhood ambitions…
