Inconsistency

It's my belief that history is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" - says the wheel - "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away".
Boethius, quoted in 24-hour Party People, so possibly inaccurate
Almost at the halfway point through the summer rush, the moment when the wheel starts taking me up.

Busy and getting into the flow of things, while maintaining the system with healthy food, soda water, naps and exercise, because everything breaks down when the body does.
