here today

 

out of the frying pan

when last I wrote, dear motime peeps, I had a migraine and the end of my post kind of drizzled off into the happy calm space of my head drugs. whee. And I thought that I'd jump back in with a really funny wacky post to make you laugh.

But now, the flu has hit and Ben went out without me last night to a cool new log cabin bar on Burnside called Doug Fir with MY friends while I took TheraFlu and moped. And the brakes went out in grandma's hand-me-down buick and also something called the Front Bearing which is vastly more expensive and must be replaced IMMEDIATELY. And my younger sister just got her MA while my days get eaten up by the insurance agency. And Lucy needs a rabies shot but I can't afford to do it until my next paycheck. And Bush has an 8 point lead in most polls.

Normally, I'm a glass half full kind of girl. I'd even say that I'm a glass half full and there's a nearby pitcher waiting kind of girl. But today, just today, I'm a little bit defeated. Today, I can't find the glass and even if I did, what I really want is tea, and bed, and a better job, and a car that runs.

sigh.

Okay, but here's the funny thing that I just remembered that's making me smile. Jon Stewart said, of our president, when he insisted even after hearing that there were no WMDs in Iraq that he had made the right decision about invading - JS said "Some people look at a glass and see it as half full, others look at it and see .....(pause) A Dragon".
