Yesterday was best described as blah. Nothing great, nothing bad….I just “was.” Sometimes days like this are OK, but I like falling asleep at night feeling either really good about the day or bad enough to cry. I don’t do well when I’m somewhere in the middle. I’m thinking that somewhere in the middle is way better than crying myself to sleep or whatever. I guess I’m just weird needing to feel an extreme. I’ll have to work on getting over that one. I’m that person who has started putting everything off until the last second. I have known that my car needed an inspection all month long, but I never felt like going to do it. So yesterday I finally felt that sense of urgency that was necessary for me to go and do it. Unfortunately I wasn’t the only one who waited until the last minute and I had to wait. I wrote about what a bad waiter I am yesterday and it didn’t get any better in that 24 hour period. And let’s face it. There’s only so much a person can do sitting in a chair in a garage covered in oil and grease and goodness only knows what else. I managed, though, without losing my temper or completely running out of waiting patience, and the car passed with flying colors. I knew it would or I like to say that I would have gotten it done sooner. So I went down to the security desk this morning where the guy asked me how I was doing. I took this as the chance to tell someone how I really feel today. I was sleepy, cold, would like to be asleep at that second, my back hurts, I’m sneezy and stuffy, I have too much to do, my socks are scrunched up in my shoes because they are too short, a cat chewed my shoelace so now I can’t tie my stupid shoe (but it’s just today…normally it’s no big deal), and the list goes on. I mean I was going to tell him the good stuff, too. I’m pretty happy for the most part, my car passed inspection, I’ve got money in the bank (not a lot, but some), Oprah is learning to behave better, I’ve figured out that it’s my cat who chews up my phone charger and that’s why it doesn’t charge, I’m excited about Halloween, I’m looking forward to the weekend, I feel love “right here” in my heart and I’m content with my air-quote friend, which is the best feeling ever, and more good stuff. More later…or not.
