Sometimes you feel like a nut.  Sometimes you don't.

Woke up this morning, it's one of those days. I see the bright sunshine through a grey, misty haze. My head hurts, my eyes burn, I hurt in some places, That used to be located in different places. Hobble to bathroom to soak in the tub, And take ibuprophen in lieu of back rub. Shampooed and relaxed I feel a bit peckish. Some scones and some tea would make a nice breakfast. No flour, no butter, my cupboard is bare. I tell you this morning has started with flare. I just grab a bite on the way to work. Paid for donuts and coffee, spilled the cup on my shirt. Got to work late so I stayed overtime. Didn't get home until just before nine. 'Cause I had a flat tire and had no spare, So I called a tow truck and had it repaired. My neighbor came over with all of the news. Sometimes that woman just gives me the blues. She'll talk about anyone who isn't here. Wonder who she talks about when I'm not there. I finally flipped out and just had a cow. It's good that I did 'cause I feel better now. Tomorrow will be a much better day. Today was a bad day, what more can I say.

We all have thosE 'off' days when just everything goes wrong, a day i can mange but I don't know if you have ever experienced a family that has continual bad luck. A family my parents knew and were friends with for years, her husband died at the age of 75 I don't think his lungs could take any more cigarette smoke, then her son of 45 who was a cyclist was hit by a car and died instantly and she died about 15 months later. so sad, the whole family in just over two years died. hugs and blessings JP.
