Don't You Just Hate It When You Get Sand In Your Ears... and Your Underwear...?

Yesterday was a pretty bad day, even for a Monday. There's this issue I'm dealing with right now (and have been for some time, actually) that is, quite frankly, kicking my ass. I'm tired and worried... my head hurts... my heart is all achy. It's frustrating, really, because by nature I'm a problem-solver. But there are certain issues - ones that are a little (or a lot) scary and seem insurmountable - that cause me to be an ostrich. I figure if I ignore them, they'll go away. Stupid, eh? They never do go away (duh!)... and eventually I pull my head (and the rest of me) out of the sand and try to make things better. So today, Tuesday, I've dumped about 11 pounds of sand out of my ears and underwear and I'm trying to get myself on track.

Here's to Tuesday... another day... another chance to sort things out...

I've learnt that rather than burying your head in the sand ear-plugs and one of those travel eye masks is a cleaner technique. Of course, it is a bit dangerous when driving.

Hope things sort out fairly quickly!

You know where to find me, too! And I'm all yours -- whatever you need. Just let me know, and I'm there!

I felt like you were singing to the choir in this post!!;-) Of course everything will work out because it always does in one way or another. I hope however that it doesn't take long, for your sake.

Maybe you can blame it on barometric pressure. When I feel icky and achy and overwhelmed, with a headache lurking behind every corner, I figure it's got to be my insides not equalizing with outside pressure. It's not you... it's the universe. Check your moods against changes in weather. Maybe a low pressure system is to blame. Cheer up. This too shall pass.
