A Weird Week

It has been a stange, odd week.

Parts of it were funny.

Parts of it were sweet.

But most of it felt like a weird dream.

Almost every day I thought,

"I wish I could reboot and start over!"

and

"I wish I could just take a nap!"

I don't even know why.

Just little annoyances that built up and made me feel out of control.

My brand new computer has a virus,

and I can't blog from it.

:(

There is a spinning wheel in the middle of the page and it won't let me type.

It almost feels like virtual laughing, or taunting:

"Ha ha! I am never going to stop spinning!

I look like I am processing,

but I am not!

Ha Ha! Fooling you!"

Sometimes when I put in my blog address and push "send"

my blog starts talking to me.

It says,

"You may have won a Million Dollars!"

So I am sitting here at the kitchen counter on my old,

slow as molasses laptop

(that does not have a virus).

Tomorrow, hopefully, my new computer will be cured,

so that I can cross one annoyance off my list!

I think I had too much caffeine this week too,

which always makes me a little jumpy and off.

My mind races faster than my eyes can process,

if that makes any sense.

One day this week,

I spent 12 hours in my workout clothes

waiting for the right moment to exercise.

(It never came.)

I kept catching glimpses of myself in mirrors

and windows

and wondered,
"Why do I look familiar!?"

"WHO do I look like?"

And then I figured it out:

I don't know if I can wear those workout clothes anymore...

Another day,

I was driving around,

dropping children off at school

when Sammy pointed to the passenger seat window,

and said,

"What's that Mommy?"

That?

hmm...

well, that would be

a nylon mesh strap

ripped off

of something...

Probably something from here:

(You are looking at my garage ceiling.

Yes, that is my car parked under there.

Did I tell you about my husband's strange storage strategies?)

I really hope the ceiling continues to stay up.

The sweet part...

Andrew noticed that his eyebrows have grown in,

and woke me up to show me.

That alone

made my week

much better.

However,

I am still relieved that in four minutes it will be Friday,

and this very odd,

virus-infested,

overly-caffeinated,

Star Trekky,

nylon-strappy,

week

is almost over.

Was your week as weird as mine?
