This week anyway……..

SONG LYRIC:  

“Adjectives on the typewriter, 
he moves his words like a prize fighter.  
The frenzied pace of the mind inside of the cell.”

from — Shadow Stabbing by Cake

 

TWO DAYS:

Where my son hardly stuttered at all.

 

PROBLEM SOLVING:

Had trouble with my wireless router.  Had already done literally everything the specialist helper at Apple suggested to try.  Sent me a new router.  Was still having trouble.  Burst into tears because I was/am really just that tired and far too dependent on the internet…

Then I solved that problem too.

 

SAID NO:

To someone who wanted to hang out with me this weekend.  I didn’t handle it perfectly but I put myself first and said at least 90% of what I needed to say to get what I needed without worrying about offending or hurting someone else.  This, while certainly there are people who would disagree, is pretty new to me and I’m excited when I can pull it off.

 

LINE FROM CURIOUS GEORGE:

“I guess trophies help us remember what we’ve done
because you have to keep cleaning them.”

Said by — The Man With The Yellow Hat

 

GENUINE GRATITUDE:

For my home that I am building all by myself.  
For the friends who make the previous sentence a lie.  
For the painful freedoms of uncertainty.
For an unexpected “NO.”
For two unexpected “HELLO”s.
For solitude.

For putting things away so that I cannot see the mess of them anymore.  

Literally.

And figuratively.
