Maybe Tomorrow

My hair needs cut, and it's not going to do it by itself. I'm raggedy, and wild, untamed, unkempt, a little dirty. I'm in pajama pants, have not brushed my teeth, and my breath is atrocious. My art studio needs cleaned, I have lost four hammers in there; I used a knife this morning. I'm a dreary, sorry, unapologetic mess of a woman. This is my sloth-mode; it happens more and more lately. There is only one cure; I have to make one move in the right direction. Pick up a box of junk, put away a towel, brush my teeth, just one thing. I know this, and yet here I sit, wishing for a cleaning fairy, an elf that likes to brush teeth. I look around and sigh. No one is coming. Who is going to see this mess? No one cares what my hair looks like. Maybe tomorrow...

we all have days like that, and, can certainly relate to what is going on, even if I am a man.

Cute poem, Caren. When I feel like this, I put ZZ Top Greatest Hits full blast. That gets me moving and changes my mood pretty fast!

And I play the Beach Boys to get myself out of my funk!
