outlets

why are electric outlets placed at mid-shin height? if you were a janitor, you'd wonder too. bending over time & again to plug in the vacuum gets tiresome. why can't the outlets be at waist height? my theory is that the near-floor height became standard for the sake of plugging in floor lamps. i guess extra chord would be used up in the height too... but it would be worth it.

speaking of outlets, i feel like i need to go for a hike. i need to have a good cry and journal it out. i'd really like to start the painting i've been picturing in my head. i want to dance with somebody (not necessarily somebody who loves me). i wish i had the energy to meet a friend for tea, have a really good talk, and be wholly present. instead, i'm overwhelmed and distracted. i will get through this time, i know. i have expectant hope... but for now it's a grind.
