My plans for last weekend, this week, and the next six or seven weeks
have been thrown into disarray. I could get discouraged,
but I'm going to suck it up buttercup.

When I wake up, I want to pull the covers over my head
and make the world go away.
This is so not me! I am a morning lark.
I recently read an article by Tom Chiarella who was interviewing Jeff Bridges
in a summer issue of AARP The Magazine, and this jumped out at me.
Sometimes Bridges experiences what he calls morning dread.
"'I sometimes wake up and say,
'Oh God, I gotta get up and do all this stuff that I don't want to do.'"
That's where I am right now.
Does this happen to you?
Everything will get squared away, but it's going to take time I'm short on,
and involve aggravating things I don't want to do.
Whine. Whine.
So this morning I told myself that I could wallow for a little while
after getting out of bed, and then I had to get real.
I went hunting for some memes to cheer me up:
If Bruno Mars and "Uptown Funk" can't lift my spirits and purpose,
I can always count on the faces I love.
So here are some happy faces that are certain to work for me,
which I'm linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off.

Guaranteed to make me laugh; a favorite childhood photo of mine, ADHD me,
in a perpetual harness, tied on, and trailing a rope for a good three summers of my life.
Aggravation in the Past!

What do you do if you experience morning dread?
When you wake up and say,
"Oh God, I gotta get up and do all this stuff that I don't want to do."
I'd love to know what works for you!
Last week I didn't get around to visit as I planned.
🤞I make it this time!
Have a great weekend!
Till next time ~

My next post will be soon! 🤞
