Lisa is the greatest sister in the entire world. What did she do that was so awesome? When I walked into the Donna villa last night, it was absolutely SPOTLESS. She cleaned up. The house sparkled. There have been times when I get back from a hard week in Chicago and the house is a filthy mess and it just weighs me down even more. I know that in addition to my other tasks, I am going to have to clean the house. NOT LAST NIGHT! Although I didn’t show it, I was actually buoyed by how wonderful it looked. THANK YOU!
This morning, instead of making coffee using my “sensual” Braun Coffeemaker, I brewed Masala Chai. We don’t keep milk in the house because humans are the only animal that continue to drink milk into adulthood and Lisa and I like to stand apart, so I used Coffeemate instead. It tasted lovely, just like the Chai I get at the Indian Restaurant.
Am I feeling better? I am home and that is hopeful. Otherwise, work is slowly sucking the life out of me. What I need to do is exercise and breath fresh air and eat healthy food and I am sure I will start feeling better. You guys are right about that. I also need to start clearing my mind so work is not all I think about. Pushing myself away from the computer every now and then might also help. Some of what I am feeling could be Seasonal Affective Disorder. It seems every year around this time I start to sink into a funk. Maybe all I really need is a nice dose of Vitamin D. We shall see.

No offense Donna, but quit your bellyaching and be thankful for what you have, for things could be a million times worse. You have your health, a roof over your head, clean water and food in your belly. Many people in this world would love to have those simple things, let alone all the other luxuries you have. Think of the Tsunami survivors, innocent people of Fallujah, Sudan, Darfur, now they have reason to complain. Work is a part of your life, not your life. Don’t stress and don’t work too much, what’s the worst they can do fire you, big deal just go get another job.
Premal it the nail on the head. I couldn’t agree more!
Men don’t have a clue about how important it is for a woman to just “unload”……it doesn’t mean that we aren’t appreciative of all that we have and how lucky we are. That is why a woman needs female friends, if she wants someone to empathize with. Rosa
