Emerging from Chaos

Those little inconveniences in life...

5:45 am... There are times in life when you look back over the past few hours or days and just shake your head and shrug your shoulders. Lacking any cause you can put your finger on, everything just went awry for a while. No major disasters, natural disasters or international conspiracies involved, just random life stuff that somehow forces your world out of sync for a little while.

There was a time when one might have blamed elves, fairies, goblins and the like for such periods, but for me I think it's just my brain's way of resetting itself to reality. The little day-to-day changes in our lives often go unnoticed, and we manage to automatically compensate for them without missing a beat. However, after a while there is this subtle interwoven misalignment to things which must auto-correct itself, whether we're ready for it or not. And, of course, sometimes Windows updates and the next thing you know, your damn computer is powering off about 30 seconds after boot-up, and you just can't figure out why. Such is life... such was last Friday morning when I got up and tried to blog...

Once upon a time, I would have been dealing with it that very evening, working the problem until it was remedied. But this weekend I just shrugged it off for a while - surprisingly, it just seemed to go away by itself... no idea what was wrong actually. In the interim I baked some fresh pumpkin pies, a nice fruit and nut soda bread, and made a dish of ziti for Sunday dinner. The Little Man got sick (and is still sick) so Monday was thrown off, as well. But now I'm back! Blogging in the wee hours prior to heading to work, sipping on leftover microwaved coffee and wishing I had more time to write... things are back to normal...5:59am... Oh, yeah... Last chance... VOTE, BITCHES!!!
