- tea tastes better than wine
- and water tastes better than tea or wine
- having your formerly favorite morning beverage of choice, coffee, feels like a distant memory
- nothing in your life feels like it fits anymore
- because suddenly you feel like you have to move away from the city you have been living in for 10 years {I'm talking about you Los Angeles}
- you hear your new neighbor pace her garden while chatting loudly on her cell pone about her business and it sounds like she is screaming
- {now you really have to move}
- all of your cookbook recipes annoy you because
- food does not taste good
- the most comforting sound to you is that of your cat snoring because she is napping next to you
- your big plan for the day is to make it through what has to be done, so you can nap again
- no matter how many good nights of sleep and three hour naps you take, you are still exhausted
- writing a once sentence email feels like it will take too much time to craft
- any and all tasks take you three times as long to complete
- the only blog post you can craft is one with a lot of bullet points
- you will only wear your new cry wolf, panda sweatshirt because it is SO comfy and soft
- a super soft kleenex is like heaven
- you call your acting agent and tell him you are moving {are you noticing a theme?}
- you long to feel yourself again, so you can get back to work and act upon all those ideas inspired by the amazing conference you attended last week {& you haven't even been able to write your blog post about said conference}
- you long to feel yourself again...
- you almost break into tears when a stranger tells you "isn't it such a beautiful day today?" ~ because up until that moment you were definitely moving away because you thought that all the people in Los Angeles were wretched. turns out they are not
- you think you are feeling better, so you run some errands and realize that you are driving 5 miles per hour ~ back to bed
- giving into the down time, blankets, cozy socks, warm hugs, hot tea, cats who snuggle, a good movie, and the glow of your new star globe start to make you feel better
Here's to a return to living sometime next week. Wishing you a happy weekend and to those of you who might be feeling under the weather too ~ Feel Better Soon!
