Ugh Days

Yesterday was an ugh day. Now I'm not talking cold and dreary and having to wear UGG boots. I'm talking about one of those days where just getting out of bed is a chore.

The night before I couldn't get to sleep. Two Benadryls didn't even phase me. It was like I had consumed a pot of espresso before I went to bed. Midnight came and went. Last time I looked at the clock it was 1 AM. I slept through my alarm at 3:30 AM and woke up at 4:15 AM. Oh to be able to call off work but that couldn't happen.

So rolling out of bed I trudge out to the kitchen and the cats are so delighted that breakfast is finally served. Doesn't matter that there were maybe 10 kibbles missing out of each of their bowls. They were absolutely sure they were going to starve.

A glass of ice tea and hopes that might get me going. Not! Now I need to get in gear so I can get ready to leave for work. Drop my bowl of yogurt and granola on the floor. Cats get a treat. Start all over. Eat real fast to make up time. Oh no - acid reflux. Find the Tums. Curling iron won't come on. Great the breaker is tripped and won't reset. Didn't get to meditate. Brain is in burnt toast mode.

Finally heading out the door to a cloudy day. Ugh. About a mile into my drive I come upon a doe and her fawn. They don't go running off like usual. Instead they stand there looking at me after I stopped. Of course my phone is on the other seat of my truck and as I reach for it the doe and fawn move off into the trees.

Yes it was an ugh day. Had to work real hard to keep from doing a face plant on my desk but the memory of the doe and her fawn gave me something to focus on.

Something positive in an otherwise ugh day.
