Thursday musings

Maybe it's due to the sudden cold, damp weather - or maybe it's just a mood.  For whatever reason, I've been more than a little down in the dumps today.  I've had trouble concentrating and absolutely no motivation.  When I said I needed a vacation, I wasn't joking.  The only thing holding me back is knowing I'll have to take time off in August to help Carrie with her wedding.  In August.  August for heaven's sake.  May, June, July, August.  Forever.  Taking a Friday off now and then for a long weekend just isn't cutting it.  What I need is five, seven or ten consecutive days off, and I don't think I can hold out that long.  Maybe it's time to get "sick".  I have weeks of sick leave built up.  I've never been one to abuse sick days, but I'm tempted at this point.  I know myself pretty damn well.  And I know if I called in sick for a week, I would not be able to enjoy a minute of my time off.  Sometimes I wish I didn't have a conscience...

You know it's not your best day, when people keep telling you to SMILE.  Bleh.  Gimme chocolate instead.

Ok.  I'm done now.  A nice hot bath and a good night's sleep is all I really need in life.  A hot bath, a good night's sleep - and someone to cook my dinner.  That's all.  That's all I need.  Hot bath, good night's sleep, dinner cooked - and a foot massage.  Wait.  I'm suddenly doing a poor imitation of Steve Martin.  Heaven help me lol

Cheers, all :)

Redemption

In her moment of prayer
she begs for redemption
and recalls
similar moments
Of blind hope
and perfect bliss

The brush of his lips
During long hours of burning
healing unspoken regrets and loves best forgotten
Over and over
In the eyes of each other

Solitary mother
Child of faith
 
She will remember everything
even the rough edges
