Today is a new day

And things are changing here today. Right now. No more allowing this woman to make me miserable. Thanks to all of you for the cheer up posts yesterday. It is very rare that I get down like that, I know I have a wonderful life and am so lucky, but damn it, I was feeling whipped.
This is what I felt like all day yesterday, like I wanted to just lay down and wait for it all to go away. But that stops here right now.

Big talk from someone who is working on a holiday (woo hoo, guess who is NOT here), and who busted her ass right when she walked in the front door of the building this morning. It is raining, and I swear these Crocs are worn slap out, so the minute I got in the door, I slipped on the marble and somehow landed on both my ass and my right knee. Very bad. Thank God the bank on the first floor is closed for Veteran's Day so only a few people saw it. Hell of a way to start the day, huh?This is what I looked like when I pitched over in the lobby, with both my purse and my computer backpack on my shoulder

But then I got upstairs and see she is not here, so life is better, despite the drizzle. Even though normally weather like this will send me straight to bed, I will take a drizzly day with no her over sunshine with her any day. However, I let my fury yesterday keep me from going to the gym, and that will NOT happen today. I am going, for sure. I totally need the endorphins.

Here is someone else who could use a little exercise. This is the time of year when the babies get so ugly it is hard to even look at them. They are all at varying stages of growth so from one day to the next they can go from gorgeous, to looking mangy and pot bellied and homely. Echo is on her way into her homely stage, and she is cuter than most of them right now.

Oh well, we all have bad days

Good to see (read) you back in better form today. And you at least realize you have a light at the end of your tunnel.

And I know nothing about horses, but that big guy is still cute to me.

Oh goodness I love that first photo. LOVE it.

You sure did not need anymore wipeouts, but I am really glad things seem to be looking up for you.

and a day without HER is a good day, I agree!

You better get ya some better tread on those worn out crocs. Invest in a new pair. Hope you ass and knee are okay!

Enjoy your day without HER!!!

Excellent news on your conscious decision to not give LH the power to get under your skin. You can't control her but you can control how you react to her. Kudos to you.

Well, if you can take a tumble like that and still be in a good mood, my work here is done!

Happy Tuesday!

Shelley is right on. You can't control her, but you can control how you react to her.
You're way better than that.
Love you,
Mom

I've decided to pray for her. She must be terribly unhappy.

I love when you relate your body movements to the horses. It gives me a great mental picture.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better today. Seeing those cute baby faces has to make you feel better! :)
