One of those days

My family has a saying:

"Oh, it's one of those days."

The emphasis on "THOSE" could mean anything at all.

It could mean it's one of those days when you are dropping everything you lay hands on. (I have those days more than anyone else. DON'T hand me glass dishes on those days!)

It could mean it's one of those days when everybody seems to be mad at you.

It could be one of those days when you are mad at everybody else.

It could be one of those days when your brain can't remember the simplest things.

It could be one of those days when you burn every dish you make....and your hand, into the bargain.

Or it could be one of those days when you just feel blah - as if you were walking around in your sleep.

I would say today is one of those days.

Of course, it's my own fault. Remember that post I wrote a few days ago on "Time"? Remember how I said I'm working on getting up earlier, because that gives me more hours in a morning?

Well, it does give you more hours in a morning.

However, I have been failing to pay attention to my other piece of advice; get to bed earlier!

Okay, now that I've just done something to the display on our computer screen.... and can't figure out what button I've hit...

...I guess I've just proved again to myself that I am walking around in my sleep. I hope I wake up soon, because I have sewing lessons to teach today. Yikes.

Other than splashing cold water on your face (already tried!), and reading the Word for strength (I fell asleep in my own lap) and going to bed earlier tonight (that doesn't help me right now), do y'all have ideas for what to do on one of THESE days?

On one of 'these' days, my cure is going for a brisk 20-minute walk on a quiet country road with the sun shining and birds chirping as I walk, praying along the way for and about everything under the sun.

It's quite effective. =)
