Grunt! Groan! Growl!Can we start this day over yet?:
I hardly slept last night only to be woken up by my toddler at 6:27am yelling from his room... wanting to watch cartoons and play. Soon I realized that a head cold came out of nowhere during the night and slapped me on the nose.
One dose of Buckleys and a few hours later, I am off to work. Once my apron goes on, I hear that the freezer is down and we need to move all the large ice cream bins around to the other freezers to keep it cold. (Thankfully a new freezer showed up very quickly)
Followed by a co-worker opening her carbonized cranberry beverage in the back room, soon realizing it must have been shaken as it explodes over my back and the back room floor.
Next while serving a customer a folded wooden stool/table gets knocked down only to land on the back of my heel (before we had the chance to put it away again).
Only to be advised by a loved one that it is 'Friday the 13th' after all.
I am ready to wish for a do-over by this point, when the fire alarm goes off and we are told to shut down the store, much to a clients very strong disapproval.
After the 'False Alarm' was announced I got to go for a break, which seemed to save my day.
I went to a wonderful little shop called 'Four n Twenty'. They make most of their food items from scratch. I sat down and enjoyed a muffin and slowly drank a cup of coffee, then doodled in my sketch book.
The owner asked me if I was writing a love letter. At first I thought "A love letter? I never write those." Then I thought.... 'why don't I?'.
A new goal came out of this thanks to her comment. I will write my husband love letters!!
The wonders of creativity! How it can take you out of the prominent 'reality' and massage your senses. It is somewhat like taking a mini refresher vacation.
Gee... what shall tomorrow be like? (ha ha)
Keep smiling and creating!
