One of those days

One of those days... one of those….

You have all had one of those days. A day like no other day, a week like no other week, etc etc. Well , yours truly has had one, not unlike your own, but with its own quirks. For starters, being sick and tired of being sick and tired with this COLD. Imagine a month of chills, running nose, drinking Buckley's and sneezing. I can deal with everything but the cold remedy. Works, but tastes awful!!! They were not kidding.

Along with "one of those days", there is the lack of a restful sleep, one in which you desire absolute solace in the arms of the blissful sand man. My mind rallies, with forceful contempt, the rude physical awakening of the body. “I don’t want to get up, leave me alone, you will be sorry.” Sure enough, my mind  emits “trains of thought” as an exacting revenge several hours later. It takes a long time for the equilibrium of mind and body to settle in. Alas, it's not there yet.

Maybe on of this day, my mind will accept that my physical self is not getting any younger, accept the fact that I cannot get back to my youthful prowess and compete on that level..

Merge “one of those days” with "I promise I will do that,” and you have the makings of one of those days. Expecting certain promises to be completed,  in order to assemble a good website of articles, is not  much of an expectation. Maybe the “promise” people are having a bad day  also.  
 

Hobby enjoyment wanes in the meantime, because the desire to involve oneself ,is an effort worthy of Hannibal crossing the Alps. With the mild winter here in Alberta, a veritable Florida paradise,  I would be thrilled to enjoy  my hobby fest. But an “Ice Yacht” will have to wait for my spring thaw.

Maybe I am despondent about my lot in life. After all, I am in the high 50’s. A little  introspection and I deduce that all is right with my lot in life. So what is the problematic situation that causes the “rainy day blues" to subjugate my life?  Aha!! Epiphany!!! I’m just tired of hearing all the excuses people resonate to me, like a droning mass of headless elephants. Professionally employed individuals, who barter the safety of their family for a good deal, the whiney person who wants attention, parents who are in debt and state “when I go I’m leaving nothing.”    Well, good on you mate, you have plagued me with your mindless drivel long enough. Today I take back my “one of those days” attitudes and resolve to enjoy what life bequeaths me.

One of these days I will just accept " one of those days". A cold will tear you down but your will to survive the onslaught will make you stronger. So people, just grin and bear it, it goes away sometime. But one of these days I will enjoy the laziness of the day.
