The Whole Wide World

You know how we all have that voice that lives in our head? Like the one you are hearing right now, as you read these words. I don’t know about ya’ll, but that voice can be so exhausting. Sometimes I hear it and I am like damn, that is good stuff, you need to write this down Annemarie. And other times I hear it and I am like who is this bish, shush. I’m aware that sounds pretty cray. Prolly is my winter brain. Or the last dose of steroids letting their presence be known. I don’t know, but I’m sharing the cray in an attempt to let it out and send it on its way. G’riddance.

After a day of not peopling, I still didn’t want to people today, but I had to. You know, work is work. And it was extra workish today. QuickBooks has been a pain in my you know what for a week now. I had to speak with my Denver boss this morning, which is a rare occasion and usually means things aren’t going as they should. I ended up staying at work way past the time I’d normally leave and I’ll have to pop in first thing tomorrow morning before my 7AM coffee shift. I’m running an update and it was 2% complete after an hour of running it this evening so I’ve left it to hopefully do its thing tonight. Fingers crossed.

Here is hoping tomorrow is a better day. I am going end this evening’s post by doing what I know to do when things are blechity blech…spread some gratitude into the Universe. I am grateful for lessons learned, even if I learn them over and over, and the hard way a little more wisdom sinks in every time. I am grateful for the sky and all that shines in it through this long period of darkness. I am grateful for my family-all of them-it’s not easy being so far away and so out of communication, but I love them all so much and I miss them just as much. The same goes for all my nearest and dearests, old and new. I am so lucky to have such loving, supportive friends and family and wish that I could pack everyone of you in my suitcase and bring you along on my adventures and travels. You are missed every single day. xo
