No-Good Stinking Bad Day

I'm a pretty upbeat person, but every now and then I have a day when I step in the proverbial turd of life and can't seem to get it off my shoe. Today was one of those days. It was just one thing after another. It was one of those days when I just wanted to lay down in my bed on my decorative pillows with my comforter pulled up high (I'd have to turn the air way down for that). I also wanted someone to bring me endless bowls of Raisin Bran and maybe some really nice tea on the good china, with little packets of Splenda and a fancy stirring spoon.

Nobody did that, though, so I went to Fry's in my dumpy clothes and bought triple chocolate cookies, and I ate exactly two and a half of them while I sat on the couch with my best friend watching Biggest Loser. I think that's the best way to enjoy that show.

I know tomorrow will be better and blah blah blah, but some days are just stinkers. I know misery loves company, so if you're feeling like you're having a day when you just don't have it in you to whip out your perky pants, know that you're not alone. I'm sure the sun will be shining again tomorrow in my life, but for today, I'm just going to sit in my gloom. You can't appreciate the clear days if you don't know what the cloudy days are like, right? And yeah, I know good stuff is right around the corner with a big smiley face attached, but for today, I'm giving myself permission to just feel what I'm feeling without being harsh. It helps knowing there is another half of a cookie downstairs waiting for me if I need it.

(P.S. This photo of this sad cookie cracked me up. See, cookies are SO therapeutic.)
