Stuff & Things: Avoidance

by | Sep 17, 2015 | Throwback | 13 comments

I could tell you about how I went out to dinner at a new Ramen place with Kim, or how I’ve been trying to snap (johodgespodges) my days to decide if I want to vlog again.  I could talk about how I’m anxious to start writing another book, or I could thank you all so so much for all the well wishes and support on yesterday’s post.  But instead I’ll tell you that the husband came home from work with the vomits.

I’m literally locked in my not-big-enough-for-a-twin-bed-office, hiding.  We all know how the vomits go.  I give myself less than 24 hours.

I stupidly went to bed after midnight last night then dreamt that not only was I weathering a literal tornado while outside, but I was also having an unfortunate encounter with my former bff as our shelter (read: picnic table) was blowing away.  I could draw so many parallels between that dream and my life right now.  I’m choosing to ignore it, I think.  That cocktail left me feeling less than awesome all day.  And now I’m having a hard time convincing myself that I won’t lose that expensive Ramen dinner in the middle of the night.

Mind over matter, Joey.  Mind over matter.

I’ve also managed to lose something in our 1000 square foot apartment.  I’m not even sure how that’s possible.  Needless to say, I feel a little like I’m losing my mind.

So with all of that said (or not said, rather), I’m going to sign off and wish you all a happy vomit-free Thursday!

I can hope, right?
It’s too late, isn’t it?
Get out of here while you can.

  5. Fingers crossed for you my dear! Sick husbands are the worst 🙂 My husband almost NEVER gets sick and I do usually one a year and I always think "oh gosh he's going to catch this" and he never does. It's really not fair! Hoping you have the same luck!

My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.
