EVEN IN AUSTRALIA

"I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."

(Judith Viorst, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day)

Some days just go down hard. Things just, well, go wrong. Reality can just plain suck. No need to go into the litany of things that went awry, suffice it to say today I felt like moving to Australia. All the feel-good memes on Facebook were not going to be any kind of cure for this sh**storm. But hour by hour passes and you get through the day hoping to put it all away, have some milk and cookies before bed, listen to some great music, and read. After all, as I understand it, "It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" and" some days are like that. Even in Australia." (Judith Viorst, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day) I feel you Alexander, I feel you little man.
