I spent yesterday in bed, caught by what was either the kids’ flu, or my body’s way of telling me, “Woman! Rest! Here, have some body aches and chills and nausea, in case you get any wild ideas about not listening.”
So I rested, watched Party of Five re-runs until I was sick of them (waists were really high in 1994), and let my beautiful 9 year old bring me mug after mug of tea. As a side note, if you’re looking for a single-cup coffee maker, skip the Keurig. The Bunn MCU changed. my. life.
I also, when I wasn’t dozing off, got all caught up on my interwebs reading. Here’s a list of some of the best things to grace my screen this week:
perspective, attitude, and poop – This changed my life too, mainly because I’m forever more going to amuse myself by thinking that the person who’s being awful to me must just be really constipated. A good reminder to keep our perspective.
Wow, I REALLY like that post about Phillip Seymour Hoffman! A very insightful wake up to see “the addict” as a hurting, real person who really doesn’t want to die alone and lonely in a bathroom with a needle in their arm. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!! Wasn’t that good? Best thing that I read on the subject for sure.
I know. I’m gonna pass it on to my husband to read. He works in this field and finds the same kind of misunderstandings and judgments to be rampant. It is so easy to judge that which we have never struggled with. The best book I ever read on it was called Dropping Your Rock. Brilliant! (Oh, and the above comment was me, lol! I was trying to work out how to use this Disqus thing!)
I feel so flattered you linked to me. 🙂
