When I was in college, oh so many years ago, I took several courses in psychology, in truth, I really thought about majoring in that course of study. Carl Jung, i found him most interesting. As for this quotation, I just want to say really? why?
If you read the blog yesterday, you would know that I was all pumped up for a road trip. I went home from work, showered, did my hair, got off my knee for a while ( oh yes I have a strained ligament from Monday when I fell walking the dog; she could not help it if that squirrel ran right in front of her! I had the suitcase ready to go, a bag of munchies for the car and a cooler with lunch in it, sitting patiently waiting for Steve to arrive and whisk me off for fun and exciting getaway.
Well, when he came in the door, the look on his face gave me a real scare. I thought something really really bad had happened. My heart so to speak was in my mouth. Adrenaline was kicking in.
As it turns out, our road trip had to be cancelled. Steve was forced to work on Friday, even though he had the shift covered (which should be the director of nursings job). I felt so sad for him. But, you have to accept things you cannot change no matter how sad it feels.
I put all the food stuffs away, so the dog wouldn't ravage the bag, and we headed out to Krannert Center for Uncorked. A little wine and cheese and munchies to get our minds off our sadness. I started a game of Scrabble on Steve's IPad while he was up procuring our wine choice, a delightful Malbec from Argentina, with the taste of berries and chocolate. So we played and tried to relax. Went to Basil Thai for a bowl of delicious Tom Yum Noodle soup with vegetables and tofu to comfort ourselves. Then home to watch game 6 of the World Series.
Now that was a game for sure, and while I was on the emotional roller coaster anyway, I watched anxious and filled with dreadful thoughts. But, my team, the St. Louis Cardinals are a never say die kind of team, and while i turned off the tv in the bottom of the 9th for about 5 minutes, I ended up staying up until nearly midnight watching the fun and festivities of the St. Louis win, in the bottom of the 11th with two out and David Freese up to bat. How could I turn the set off after that! Had to hear all the interviews and rewatch the wonders of bottom of 9th, 10th and 11th innings.
So today, I am at work, exhausted emotionally. I have to say that the early morning sky was absolutey beautiful and clear, the stars were amazingly bright and Orion was just hanging there about my building.
So, happy, fearful, sad, anxious, relaxed, sad, anxious, dread filled, and then finally elated. How is that for a ride?!
