Our water heater is broken and so is my toe (maybe) but you know what, I feel good.

I feel great actually. Liberated! I'd run through the living room if my toe didn't hurt and my living room had room to run through.

I had a run-in with my unplugged stationary vacuum cleaner the other night and whacked my baby toe. I think the vacuum was lashing out because I ignore it too much. But you know what, a clean house means you don't have other things in your life to occupy your mind. At least that's how I feel! Whatever lets you sleep at night. Not that I seem to be doing much of that lately.

Our water heater is kaput. Its a sad reality when I need to clean up a little before I call maintenance. That's just the kind of housekeeper I am. I'm ok with that, although someday when I have the money I am definitely investing in a maid. If you ever need a Christmas gift or something for me... there ya go ;)

Anyway, life is getting better and better today. I've been kind of cranky lately but today we have this storm that is just ridiculously cool. Thunder shaking the walls and making car alarms go off. There is nothing like a great spring storm to cleanse your mind and bring focus and clarity to the world. It washes away all of the nonsense and ushers in the lovely wildflowers of south Texas. I always love wildflowers. I think it stems from several large science projects as a child. We had to take pictures for one project and for another we had to collect and dry samples. I probably can't find the derivative of anything but I can still remember most of the names of the wildflowers. Its funny how some things stick.

So, its kind of ironic that a dark cloudy foul day like today where I am lacking hot water to clean my dirty house or shower, where I am cold and achy and my foot is as purple as the sky.. a day like today where things pretty much really suck somehow brings me out of my funk? I cannot explain but I appreciate it. Thank you psyche.

Actually I can explain but you don't really want to hear about it. Suffice to say, change is good.
