Cripple And The Sugarfish
Ir hasn’t been the best day today.
I seem to have two kinds of days. The good and the bad.
The good where I get up in the morning and feel okay. I get out to shop or visit animals. I do stuff and get through the day without problems.
Or the bad where I can hardly get out of bed. I am sad and depressed and feel hopeless. I picture myself dying. I usually end up back in bed, either napping or simply sleeping the whole day away. Because the bed is the only place I feel comfortable and safe. The day seems to last forever and I can barely get through it.
Today is one of those days. I have slept most of it away. Now I must stay up late in the hopes of at least getting a little sleep tonight. Depressed at the poorness of my eyesight. Crying at Antony and the Johnsons. Terribly unhappy with everything about myself.
That is how my life seems to be. Split into these two kinds of days. I’m not really sure what brings on either of the two. Or if it’s just random. But I don’t seem to be in control of it.
Not that it all matters so much. We’ll all be the same in the end.
We don’t want it all to be a downer though. So let’s finish off with some pictures from yesterday’s playground feeding.
Magnethe and the buck saying hello.
The black sheep. She seemed a lot more confident than I remembered her. Up and baahing for food and not shying away from touch at all.
And never forgetting Vanilje.
Nina on the couch with the scruffy-looking Nerf herder. Don’t forget the video.
Spotting something through the window. I like when she walks behind my head like that. At one point she stuck out one leg and put her paw on my shoulder. It was cute. She was all like “Let me just lean on you and rest for a second before I walk on”.
Where would we be without animals?

I do hope you’ve been eating a little something off and on today. Not good to not be eating at all.
We both stayed home today and didn’t work. Our colds are awful right now. I’ve been sick from last Sunday to this Sunday. We did have to go to the shop and paint one side of a door since we promised the client it would be ready to go on Monday. Took all of 5 minutes and then back home.
I hate being sick. Plus we are having freezing rain and snow and very, very cold temperatures tonight and tomorrow.
Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

How can you be unhappy with yourself when you send such lovely Christmas cards?
Thanks for the card!
I hope you have a better day today.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling down today, I hope tomorrow is better. Just popped by to tell you that I think you’ve been very brave through the whole diabeetus (sp?)-deal, so calm and together! I would have been scared out of my socks. So yay for you, and as said above: make sure you eat something (keep an eye on your blood sugar), and have a better day tomorrow!

Debster – I did get something to eat. When I wasn’t sleeping. Anyway I’m better now, mostly. I hope you will be too. You should rent that western, Paint My Wagon. Assuming it’s a real thing. I saw it on the Simpsons.
Stu – My cardmaking skills may be my one redeeming feature! Hah. I’m glad you liked it!
Katrine – Thank you for delurking, and thank you for the kind words. Today was quite a lot better. Back on track.

“I was born under a wandering star” . . . I love “Paint Your Wagon”! It has a very, very young Clint Eastwood in it.
“Paint Your Wagon” and “Sing’n In the Rain” are my two favorite musicals. I usually dread musicals because they sing so darn much! I never could figure out why they had to “sing it” instead of just saying it.
Of course, I do like “The Music Man” with “76 Trombones”, “Marian, the Librarian”, etc.
