Out of bed you daisy head!

8:32 am. Andrea (my boss) called the house. She asked Liz to wake me from my beauty rest.
Liz is pretty comfortable getting me out of bed these days. We talked last month about how surprisingly agreeable I am in the morning. I am NOT a morning person, but I am pleasant...just not coherent. So she passes me the phone.
You know how when you wake up in the morning your voice needs time to evolve into normalcy...well...considering I had been awake for maybe 4 seconds before I was passed the phone...it wasn't pretty.

She asked me if I would leave for work. After a couple minutes (that is how long it took for my brain to grasp that this was not a dream, and I actually had to wake up) I agreed to go to work. Andrea was so desperate, she said she would pick me up! I even managed to give super adequate directions. I was quite proud of myself.
When I hung up the phone, I realized that it was laundry day. My work clothes were at the bottom of the bin. Ohhh dear. At least I didn't have to walk. I gathered my key, my lippy and...uhh...that is pretty much it...and went to work.

I worked for 12 hours today. I am exhausted. Truly pooped. Speaking of poop...

On my walk home, I discovered I had a stalker. One of the most ANNOYING and degrading stalkers of all time.
He followed me for most of the walk.

THEN, I arrived home. There was another stalker IN my house. The stalker = a fly. There is nothing more shaming than having a fly swarm around you. There is not one good thing that can come of it. The truth is, flies are attracted to heat and stink...things like fresh excrement. I AM NOT EXCREMENT! I took a shower (the second one today) but...that didn't help. So...why...WHY is this fly swarming me?!?!!? SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP!

Ah well, thank-you Jesus for flies. I TOTALLY see how and why they are a necessary part of our economy. Amen.

Jesus, please forgive me for my sarcasm. I didn't mean it. Teach me to love flies.

Dear Jesus. I take that back. Still sorry for the first part...but seriously...what were you thinking?!

Umm. Jesus. I love you. I am sure all of nature was in love with you too. Birds must have perched on your finger, and bunnies sat at your feet like children...eager for your peace and presence. I just can't imagine you appreciating a dozen flies swarming your head. In fact...if that were to happen...I could picture you sending them back to the pit they came from. Hmmm. Amen?
