So my goals were to find something to enjoy on Monday and to make a better blog post, but I think we all knew I was more likely to revert to Monstrous Monday. My day at work was not bad at all. My worst moment was getting myself out of bed. Oh, did I want to sleep in! But coffee worked its magic, and my day improved from there.
This is how cheerful I am after coffee.
After work things got a little dicey as I struggled with my checkbook and fretted over bills. I did not go running as I had intended, and I almost forgot to take out the trash. However, I had walked for 30 minutes this morning, and the trash and recyclables are now waiting by the curb. Additionally, the dishes are washed, and tomorrow’s lunch is packed.
The happy smile I get after doing a few chores.
I seem to always be listing every little thing I get done, either in this blog, in one of my journals, or just in my head. It is to keep from beating myself up over all the things that I have left undone. For heavens’ sakes, I can’t do everything! Or so I comfort myselg
Maybe if I had three friends behind me and a pitchfork!
I guess this last picture doesn’t show a monster, but it is from a pretty scary movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. As messed up as my life can be, I would not want some pod growing into a duplicate of me and taking over my body. Now that I think about it, that movie is also pretty sad. All the characters I like turn into beings with no warmth or feelings.
On that rather melancholy note, I see I am approaching 300 words. Perhaps it is not a better blog post, but at least I tried.
