The Bigger They Get

A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold. Ogden Nash (1902 - 1971)

Reading Mini Staycations…

July 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

I wasn’t feeling well yesterday thanks to being a WOMAN.

This woman stuff is getting damn old. Thirty-five years of this crap, the last nine years clinging desperately, white knuckled, to the ragged edge of sanity while being buffeted by the winds of a Category Five Hormonicane.

Enough already.

So I seized the day and did absolutely nothing. Except read. All day. A whole wonderful book. I spent the day wrapped up in someone else’s life and it was AMAZING!! It has been far too long since I let myself escape so completely into a book. Upon finishing it, I felt as if I’d had a deep brain massage and I was so relaxed I could barely sit up straight.

Ahhhhhhh….

And I’m still feeling refreshed today despite temperatures hovering somewhere around 500 degrees with humidity at about 352%.

This tells me I need to ramp up the number and frequency of Reading Mini Staycations.

Like to maybe, oh, I don’t know, every day?

    This is my kind of vacation-no gas wasted.

    That is my idea of a perfect day. (Did you stay in pajamas all day? I would have.)

    Hope the woman stuff gets better. I’m tired of it, too. (What’s the male equivalent of that sort of thing? Yeah, I can’t think of anything either.)
