the Infinite Monkey speaks: on complaining

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

What I’ve learnt over the past few months, If you keep complaining about your problems they will keep increasing, When you start being thankful, Life starts looking great!

Week In Review – Not Your Average Bucket List

Saturday
I would love to have a whole weekend off soon.

Sunday
Today I finally got happy about fall.
When I threw a cape over my crappy, worn-out,
mix-matched, around-the-house clothes
so I could go to the grocery store.

Monday
Once again I’m reminded that recipes
work out best for me
when I follow them.

Tuesday
I got my furnace fixed today,
and I quickly realized there is a super fine line between
being too cold in the house to want to do anything
and too warm in the house to want to do anything.

Wednesday
Today I got locked in a bathroom, and the first thing
I thought was that now I can say that’s happened to me!
It’s the kind of comedy you see in movies and tv,
but most people in their whole lives will never
get locked in a bathroom

Thursday
In another tv, movie and YouTube-worthy comedy first,
today I rolled off the back of a treadmill
and found myself on my ass on the floor.
Yes I did.
I dropped my phone on the treadmill, and when
I looked down at it, I just stopped walking…
What a doofus.

Friday
Sometimes I make mistakes,
and by sometimes I mean quite often.
And by quite often, I mean all the time.

Any odd things on your real or imaginary bucket list?

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on being the grown-up

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

When we finally accepted that something was wrong, the best we could figure was that an animal had died in the ducts, or in the crawl space under the house.  It was one of those moments where you want a grown up to show up and deal with the situation… and then you gradually have to accept that that grown up is you.
