Everybody has those "off" days, right? At least that's what I keep telling myself. Yesterday (Friday – my favorite danged day ever), everything I touched turned crazy.
— My phone wouldn't send text messages.
— I covered for someone in a class of monkeys.
— My mouse wouldn't work for my computer.
— I ordered, waited the 1 1/2 hr wait, and paid for a cold pizza.
— I had no volume on my tv because our DVR box had to be replaced and when I tried to get volume I totally wiped out tv altogether.
— I had a slap of reality and felt the full weight of moving. MY HOUSE IS FULL OF CRAP!
— I stabbed myself (during my sleep) in the nose, so hard with my thumbnail that I cut myself and woke up crying.
Then after doing the only thing I knew to help (sleeping it off for the night)….I woke up to a rockin' stomach situation. Hey, thanks 800 mg of strong anti-viral meds 5 times a day for THE STINKIN' SHINGLES!!
It's 1:36pm and I still haven't eaten any food. I have stepped up to the plate and cooked a big pot of veggie soup though. So, no more feeling sorry for myself. Even when I go to rub my nose and remember it hurts like a beast. I'm working on my Thanksgiving grocery list (isn't that ironic) and cleaning up the house that has no kids living in it. How did it get so messy? I'll never know.
I feel it's my duty to let you know…we all have those days. The ones where nothing seems to go right and trouble lurks around every corner. The good news is that we can certainly learn to laugh about them. If not, we are going to turn surly and angry and then bitterness will rule our very being. Since I'm not one that wants to hang out in that category for any longer than necessary I'm looking back at that list of issues and laughing.
Seriously, I stabbed my nose? What was I doing? Hand jive?
