Save It For a Rainy Day


Today, I've been listening to the Jayhawks's "Save it for a rainy day". Its a wonderful song, although it makes me a little sad. I've had a sad day today. The weather is dreary, work is a little slow, and I haven't seen Cal in about ten days. I'm constantly reminded of the awful times we are facing, and I hate how I've been someone directly affected. This was supposed to be Cal and I's time to move forward and start our lives together. I really thought we deserved this, but instead we are still in this weird stage, not in the same city, I don't have a job in Houston and no Clunkers. Things just can't seem to go our way. Most days I can talk myself out of the my negative pants, but today, as I listen to sad, dreary music I can't feel anxious to get a move on.


However, on a positive note. I'm currently reading the Time Traveler's Wife. I often find, when I can't see Cal, a book makes me feel better. I just love reading and escaping my thoughts and becoming consumed in this fictional world. From a psychology perspective, that doesn't sound very healthy. Oh well! It works. Its especially nice, when my little pico curls up on my lap and together we snuggle while I read.

  2. I absolutely love that Jayhawks song. Good choice for a reflective mood kind of day, although I'm sorry to hear you're a little down in the dumps. Call me if you ever need some cheering up! :) Love you!!!

  3. I LOVE that book. When I first read it, I could see Tyler and I in the main characters. I made Tyler read it and he actually really loved it. It's a keeper.
