cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

today was a big day. here is the rundown:

• 6:00am alarm
• 6:30am i quit hitting “snooze” and got out of bed
• shower, pills, hair (complete with gel and blow dry), face (complete with makeup)
• professional appearing attire
• 7:38am pull out of the driveway with coffee, run into traffic, afraid of being late but wasn’t
• 8:00am one hour therapy session
• bank for cash (that’s another story altogether, no one carries cash anymore)
• whole foods formerly-known-as wild oats for juice and favorite cough drops
• 9:43am truck it out to corporate office for 10:00 meeting with higher-ups
• 12:00noon meet friend for lunch, one hour set aside . . . i think we used it well
• 1:10pm drive to office
• 1:45pm have panic attack about what to tell dr. boss about big business meeting
• 2:00pm work quietly at my desk for a couple hours, lots of catch-up from missing the morning
• 4:10pm last patient leaves (quiet week) so i sit down with dr. boss to break the news.
• 5:25pm leave the office
• return home to a hot shower and tacos made by liz

a couple years ago liz gave me this bracelet:

i decided this morning that i had to wear it to keep a smile on my face all day. thanks liz.
