When I crawled into bed last night, heavy hearted and upset, I tried to steady myself with the thought that it wouldn’t feel that way in the morning. A little distance, a little perspective, a little time for the evening’s rich red wine to evaporate -- it would be a new day to do things differently.
But this morning, when I woke from a dream that was not far enough removed from reality, and my perspective was blurred by sleepy tears, I realized that nothing had changed. And my sorrow tasted an awful lot like Merlot.
Having a bad day, too? It's good to have company, but I hope you feel better soon :) Take care!

Posted by: kate at September 3, 2004 10:09 AMQuedate calma, mija. Today is a new day, and it will get better. Drink lots of bottled water and go easy on yourself as much as you can today. (Oh, wait.... that's advice..... sorry - :}
Posted by: lawyerchik1 at September 3, 2004 10:27 AMIt must have been the night for tortured dreams and choked-back tears. I'm under quite the cloud today, myself. Hope both our days get better soon.

I just get that eerie sense, somehow...

Posted by: Loki's Concubine at September 4, 2004 12:33 AMWhen I start having my screaming nightmares about my job, I know it's time for me to start looking for another one. Funny how I never find one, and am still at the job I've been having screaming nightmares about for over a year.
