Do you think my boss will understand when I tell her the wind ate her report? The report I worked on all weekend, the report that caused a fight with my boyfriend, the report that I promised would be on her desk at 9 AM. OMG! I am not even sure all the pieces have come down yet. My hat, my beautiful hat, well that's been eaten too. God is telling me something, I am going the wrong way, stop fighting, go with the flow. I am turning around, I am going home, back to bed. Tomorrow, a new day, a new direction. |
