I get home from work at 6pm. I decide to catch up on Gilmore Girls. I begin to feel sleepy. I spend two hours, going in and out of sleep. I am unable to get up. My back hurts, my brain is asleep. I let my thoughts wander off. I realize I have a school project to start and I have just a week to complete it. The thought makes me weaker.
My thoughts wander some more… I think of Beth, Dave, Derrick, John…these wise ones I read from when I want to feel good. And so I head to WordPress and do some catching up on ther blogs. I begin to feel better.
Turns out, it’s John’s birthday today. Happy birthday John Malone.
I begin to think of dinner, I’m about to make myself get up to make some. My phone rings. Goodness, one of the reasons I’m this tired is calling. A call from work. I don’t take the call. It’s not working hours. They need to learn this. I need to make them.
I have let the call upset me. I’m getting up now to find something to do, to undo this feeling.
…then I get a notification from WordPress…
Happy 12th anniversary it says.
So I decide to write this, and I feel a bit better.
Maybe if I add pasta and fish to it I will be just fine.
Celebrate with me.


that’s quite saga; congratulations on your 12th anniversary with Word Press and thanks for telling me my blog helps ; that’s reassuring 🙂 I know the others, I follow them too; I don’t know Derrick —

Happy anniversary to you! For years I was on call from my workplace. I would get a call and have to go in to fix a problem. It paid, though.

Yes, being paid helped, that and the fix always seemed easy to me.
