Today pretty much stunk.
It’s funny how I never noticed being bloated until I was less fat.
Work? Yeah. Not so fun. Nothing major, you know? Just work stuff.
I was feeling wonky this morning (hello Mr. Bloat!) so I dressed all in grey. Doesn’t do a lot for the mood.
Family drama. Oh, the drama. Entertaining? Yes. But also a little draining.
Saw a really cute little kid last night. With a ukelele. Reminded me that I don’t have a cute little kid. With a ukelele.
Lunch meeting. Lunch provided. Pizza and cake. I had both. I’ve beat myself up for that all day.
Today has felt like I was just…almost walking through mud. Nothing has been simple. I haven’t felt like I fit anywhere. Just off.
But then, just like the hairwashing episode from a few weeks back, I started to snap out ot if. I was doing the Biggest Loser Yoga dvd (man, I love Bob Harper). The first downward dog pose…
I caught a whiff of my shirt. Nice. Lavender. Hmmmm…
Every time I breathed in, I smelled it. Comforting, fresh, clean, new.
And with every breath, I started to turn my day around.
I may never take my green shirt off.
I’ve been instructed to post the fact that I did not know where that lyric came from (from where that lyric came?).
i love it when I can smell the clean scent off of clothes! Sorry about the bloat, that does not make for a good day :(
Family drama? We need to talk girl! I want all the dramatic details.
And I love that you can find the good sides of a not-so-great day. I want to be like that. :-)
Glad the dryer sheet/whatever is doing it’s job. I love that scents can lift mood.
The bloat just gets more noticeable. I’m appalled by it but trying to get past it.
I think I also need a green shirt.
Just found your blog, love it :)
How recent is that graphy thing further down? I think that we are about the same size (not to sure on the pounds-to-kgs thing).
I think that I need to find an equivilant to the green shirt, just for those days when I just cant snap out of the early morning uuuuuurrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh that usually finishes with the first bite of marmite toast.
I’m blogging at http://purplecoatmission.blogspot.com/ if you feel like saying hi :)
I am sorry that your day was so…um… blah. But I am happy that the green shirt was able to turn your mood around. Bloat is not fun at all, so I can totally relate to how you were feeling!
Mr. Jones and Me……
Love that song! This is the first time that I got the song that the lyric went to..right away.
I need one of those green shirts!
…if I knew Picasso, I would find myself a gray guitar and play.
Me too! First time I ever knew where the lyrics came from too! I’m super excited about it. I still don’t know where the blog title is from!
glad your lavender scented shirt and Bob Harper got you out of a slump- we all have those days though. One of these days Bob will get me to regular plank position for more than a half a second.
