Glimmer #4: Sometimes You Have to Search

It doesn’t have to be healthy, right?

I’m pretty determined to keep up with this “Glimmer a Day” plan. I mean, there has to be at least ONE uplifting moment every day, doesn’t there?

Today was tricky though. I woke up this morning and realized immediately that today was going to be an “ouchy boo-boo” day. Not gonna go into any more details than that, but when every part of me is “ouchy boo-boo”, my brain is not in a happy place.

Ask poor Paul.

Today also saw a series of annoying/frustrating/aggravating technology issues. Replacing a credit card, trying to get rebates for flights, updating our heating system’s software.

Yada yada.

The weather was cold, the wind was sharp, the laundry was abundant.

Bad mood city.

At last, at last, the daylight faded. The tech problems were resolved. The alternating ice packs and hot packs had helped the ouchies to withdraw a bit.

And it was five o’clock.

I heard the voice of my beloved, much admired, late Dad. “Well,” he’d say, rubbing his hands together with glee, “It’s five o’clock somewhere.”
