Under The Weather

I woke up this morning a bit under the weather. Took medicine for a sinus headache and went back to bed. Slept too long. Woke up and watched a few Oprah shows. Nothing says, "Hope you feel better soon," like Oprah.

Had a phone call today that was both really great news, and very sad news. Strange how that can happen. You make plans in life and think it is figured out, then there is a detour. Take so many detours hard to remember what the original road even looked like. Sometime I would just like to drive on a peaceful two lane road. No stop signs, no detours. Just a relaxing drive. My friend and I joke that we want lives with puppy dogs and lollipops. My expectations are not that high. What would be nice is more joy. I would like there to be enough joy that eventually I am so used to joy it becomes habit. A few days without stress and sadness would be a great start. For now, I will just go back to bed and put my head under the covers. I think I might be able to pull out a couple of books that can help with the finding more joy goal. Always comes down to a good book!
