Monday....

Have you ever wished you could call a "do-over" some days? Today was that day for me!

I'd had an absolutely wonderful weekend with Therapist...lots of time spent out & about in some beautiful weather, seeing sights, doing a little window shopping, some car shopping...just stuff. Movies and a fireplace...dinners out around town....

But then,

Monday came. Monday wasn't happy. Monday killed the battery in my beloved Titan, so it was an early task to get it fired back up. Not long thereafter, the headache came. Not a localized one like sinus...no that would be too easy to figure out and treat. Several handfuls of medications throughout the day barely took the edge off of it. More insult added about mid-morning with the development of a nice dry, fairly deep cough, and a sore throat. Oh yea, and I wound up wearing some of my coffee. Nice brown dots on my neat khaki work pants. Yippie!

Therapist, in her normally cheerful way, sensed that a bit of entertainment would do me some good. So after another handful of meds, she and the crew picked me up to attend two simultaneous soccer games. Children #3 and #4 were playing at the same time, thankfully on opposite sides of the same park. The outing did take my mind away from the day's troubles.

Oh but the coup de grâce du jour was silently waiting in my kitchen, ready to spring its covert attack on me....the 8pm discovery that my handy-dandy self-timed coffee pot was D-E-A-D!!! AAAARrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh!

For all the times I've both openly and quietly cursed our local Wal-Mart, I was glad to know they were still open.....

Now, maybe a fresh cup of coffee on Tuesday morning will help.....
