I Live With Monsters

Image
Last Tuesday I came home after my run and my wi fi wasn't working. I checked the router, nothing was getting power. Actually, none of my appliances on that wall were working. I checked out the circuit breaker box and one was tripped. I unplugged everything reset the circuit, plugged every thing back in and the only thing that didn't come back on was the dvr/cable box.  I just figured it was fried and didn't think  much more of it. I keep the entertainment stand covered because the baby birds chew on the cords. I had never caught one of them back there, so I never put it together. The next day, it was working again. Yesterday, it stopped working again, but this time I saw one of them fleeing the scene. I looked and I found this: Basically, one of them should have fried when they blew the circuit...but instead they survived to terrorize me another day. You would think anything this cute couldn't be  *that* evil but I assure you they are little feather bag

Are you a morning person or evening person?

. I am so not a morning person. I'm much more alert and thrive at night. Most mornings I am pretty much in zombie mode for a few hours. Ask me anything

Just Another Manic Monday

I'm not a fan of Mondays...who really is. For some reason though I'm ready for this one. I'm exhausted (were talking about maybe 8 hours of sleep since Thursday). I'm sore. I'm worried. I'm scared.  I feel like I have done something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I'm stressed about my trip home at the end of the week (and dreading doing it solo).  For some reason, none of that matters this morning. I guess my new perspective is working. I had more time than I would have liked to think this weekend. Some of it was very productive. Some of it just made me feel worse. Mostly, it made me realize all I can do is face each day like I did before the tornado. Love my family even when they are making me twitchy Love my friends, because really they are my family too Take care of the people in my life Do my job the best I can and not let the little things distract me Do everything I can to ensure the people in my life are happy. Seeing them happy
