Week In Review – Sickness(es)

Saturday
I knew when I went in to work tonight
that it was going to storm.
And that it would be raining all night.
So I guess that’s why I decided
to leave my umbrella in the car.

Sunday
After all the rain yesterday,
Today was bright and beautiful.
The perfect day to get out
and go to work for 8 hours.

Monday
I went to the doctors today, because
I’ve been sick for 4 weeks, going on 5!
It’s sitting in my chest,
and I don’t like it!
😦

Tuesday
I didn’t start my medicine last night,
because it was late and I would rather
take it in the mornings.
And then I forgot it this morning.
And then I forgot it all day long.

Wednesday
So, I bought World War Z last Friday,
and I’ve watched it or listened to it
every night since then.
Right before bed.
I think it’s a zombie sickness.
But not THE zombie sickness.
Right?

Thursday
Yep, that’s definitely a hole in my shoe.
I can tell because of
the sock poking through it.

Friday
So when the medicine bottle says
“take with food”
it really means it.
I didn’t take with food,
and I’ve been sick all day.

Amy Poehler on being in her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s

I just ran across a podcast called By The Way, In Conversation with Jeff Garlin.

I listened to Jeff’s chat with Amy Poehler, who I really like, and though this was funny and true and sharable: 

Amy says:

In your 20’s, you’re all about who you don’t want to be.

In your 30’s, you’re asking yourself who do you want to be.

And in your 40’s, you realize you just are who you are.

I’m a little behind Amy, I think. At 44, I’m just asking those questions about who I want to be.

But then, I’m young for my age, haha!

What about you?

Does Amy’s list ring any bells for you?

the Infinite Monkey speaks: the benefit of the doubt

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

Since I want the benefit of the doubt from others, I will have to freely and liberally give the benefit of the doubt first. I will have to take what I know about myself and my sometimes less-than-stellar ways in the world and assume similar good excuses for friends and family.

Allison Weekend

I had my niece Allison for a visit last weekend, and it was really great! I only live about an hour away from them, but she’d never been to my house. So when her parents needed a sitter for the weekend, I was really excited about getting her to myself for a few days.

Allison is a happy little girl. And a cuddle girl. Two very great things!

And because I can’t help myself, here are some more pictures:

Next time I’ll have to have both girls over. I can’t help but think about the fun times my two nephews spent with me at my house, and it makes me a little sad that they are so grown up now. I remember what it felt like as they were getting too old to want to come visit me out here in the country. They were moving on to new adventures. And I know that will be the case with Amanda and Allison all to quickly.

But that’s how it’s supposed to be. And I can enjoy these little girl days as long as they exist.
