Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

For my more delicate readers, I warn you to skip down a few paragraphs, because I am about to use bad language to talk about how today was shitty. Super shitty. But shit storms sometimes hit, and you just have to keep right on going. As Dori said in Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming".

My shit storm day started when I woke up for the second day in a row feeling miserable. For some reason, my limbs have felt very heavy for the past couple of days, no clue why. I went to work (cause yay, it's Monday...shitty), and my heavy limbs caused my to fall on the subway stairs. I am totally fine. Just can't decide if I am more upset about the ache in my hand where I caught myself, the embarrassment of falling in front of about 100 people during rush hour (btw, number of people who stopped or offered to help=0. Nice. ), or if I was most upset knowing that my bare hands had touched NYC subway stairs. I think it is the latter. My subway rides in the morning are normally relaxing and speedy. Today, however, my iPod stopped playing music mid-song, despite being fully charged and operational in every way except for making sound. Terrific! At least I had my Kindle.... which was apparently dead for no reason whatsoever.... again.

At least I had a nice full day of work to look forward to. Sigh. Insert unexpected meetings that didn't quite go so well in the middle of my day? Yes please! I <3 shit storm Mondays.

But you can't let this crap drag you down. So I decided to check a few things off my 101 list. My dear lady friend sent me an email a few days ago with additional ways to be more green (#44). I checked it out and totally got inspired by a few ideas, including visiting a website to opt out of all that junk mail telling me I am pre-approved for a credit card every day. Awesome! Opted out of my current name, maiden name, and my husband's name (just to cover all the bases). I can't wait to see less junk in my mailbox and save a few trees.

My lovely husband also suggested that we treat ourselves to a show, cause he knows that always perks me up (and is #19 on my list). Something went right with my day! It turns out that I was able to get mega-discounted tickets to see a show that Andy actually wanted to see also! So with that, I am off to see Motherf*#%er with the Hat starring Chris Rock. (And yes, that is the actual name of the show....not just more of my bad-day profanity).

Looking forward to continuing to dive into my goals, even during bad days, and really celebrate my successes during good ones. And with that, I'm off to dinner and a show!
