Baring my soul, or at least my counters

Today I am glorying in feeling human once more. Inside and out I am jumping for joy. All that remains to remind me of my 52-day sickbed is a teensy dry cough and that is easily fixed with a lozenge. Yes, you read that right: FIFTY-TWO DAYS. It felt like forever. Hell, it was forever.


Today I woke up and felt a little something that hadn't been there in ages, and that something is called ENERGY.

Oh Energy, how I have missed you! We used to do so much together. In fact we used to invite our friend, Productivity, over ALL THE TIME just to hang out and DO stuff. I missed her too. So, imagine my surprise and delight when you both showed up at my door today. Bearing gifts, even.

We picked up right where we left off, it was just like old times. None of that awkward, "How've you been?" stuff. Just Bam! right back into comfortable chatter and DOING stuff together:

*Decluttering the kitchen - medicine cupboard and counters (they are beige, who knew?)
*100 % caught up on the laundry - at least until someone changes their underwear
*Wiped down the fridge inside AND out
*Baked 5 loaves of bread
*Baked cookies (to celebrate)
*Swept (I amaze even myself)

Energy, it's so good to have you back.

Love and air kisses,
Mrs. O
