Rewind
I’m working today, normally I take MLK’s birthday as one of my floating holidays, but I was out once this month. I’m trying to preserve my days for the year end since I ended up not saving up enough time to be out from work and paid, sorely.
This morning I luxuriated in bed until the last possible moment because it was warm and I had epiphany of inspiration that could not be denied. I literally rolled out of bed and into work. I put no thought into this Raggedy-Ann outfit I have on assuming the office would be a skeleton crew and no one would care. I probably could have worn my pajamas to work, in fact, my pajamas look better than these rags I’m in. Mental Note: Burn this outfit!
Yesterday I did most everything through grit teeth. Sometimes, I don’t want to be a grown up! I don’t want the responsibility. I don’t want to do laundry, I don’t want to do dishes, I don’t want to clean house, I don’t want to run errands. I just want to sit on my hump and have other people dress me, have other people cook for me, have people entertain me, have people take care of me, wahhhh!!! I want to be a kid again with little responsibility. I guess my time for that is coming, so I better not rush it. I got over it by not watering my live plants. I know how to shuck responsibility!
Saturday I slept until 11:00 a.m. I never sleep late on the weekends, I’m always up by 7 or 8. I don’t like sleeping the day away, but it was much needed sleep and rest. I prepared an early afternoon bath then scurried off to the bookstore. I picked up a book, on sale, The Camel Club, that has to stand in line and wait to be read and a calendar of Shakespeare’s quotes all for $7.49. I’m a Barnes & Noble Member with a coupon and upon hearing the price, I walked out of there like I stole something. Wanted to run.
Friday, I went to get the dome light in my car replaced and unknowingly drove away with my radio and windshield wipers not working. The guy had a screwdriver in his hand and touched something in the dome light that caused a spark and blew a fuse. (Since, I have changed the fuse in my car and nothing works, so I’m taking it back later today). I didn’t realize this until I was on my way home Friday when I went to turn on my radio and got nothing. For three days I have had to sit and listen to the voice in my head. Do you know how annoying I am? The silence is deafening!
Oh how I wish I could just press rewind.

My name is Valerie aka Natural and I will be writing about whatever is on my mind. I love teaching, dialogue, sharing and making people laugh. I never know what I'll share here but this is me, Thinking Out Loud.
That’s something I could never do…three minutes with out a radio in the car and I’m ready to snap…..:):)
Well I’m not liking the idea myself. Funny thing is my dome light came on this evening. I have to leave my car tomorrow for him to look at further. I can’t take the silence, unless I want the silence. If I could read and drive, this would not even be an issue.
I didn’t feel like getting out of bed this morning either. Come to think of it, when do I feel like getting out of bed? Thanks for the laugh on an otherwise drab day!
Geekstr’s last blog post..Motivational Phrases You Won’t Hear At Work
The days are coming when we will do our jobs from our bed. There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.
Maybe there’s something in the water that’s making us go on autopilot. I can’t be bothered doing anything, I feel like the laziest person on earth. Just a reminder - “burn that outfit”. Car radio - something we take for granted until it’s robbed from us. How’s your mom?
Tondy’s last blog post..“Tondy time” is very important!
There could be something in the water. I wonder if it’s my diet, not eating energy foods. Outfit has been put away, I need some new clothes. My radio is back working, everything is fine, yippie. Oh Mom, is fine, thanks for asking. Arthritis.
