"I look forward to the day when I can look back on today and laugh."

Well, I awaken blissfully the next morning, thankful for another day, while momentarily forgetting what had

happened the night before.  I stretch my arms above my head and take a moment to give my “thanks” for being alive.  Hey…I woke up…anything else is a bonus, right?  And then it hit me, like a brick in the back of my head.  Every sordid detail began replaying in my mind. 

Maybe it was just a dream…maybe it didn’t really happen at all!  “Hey…maybe if I hang

around the house long enough, everyone will have left for work and I won’t have to mumble “good morning” as I try to avoid their knowing eyes.   If anyone even smiles at me on this “morning after”, I’ll quickly jump to the conclusion that they did, indeed, see the whole sordid episode yesterday and are replaying it in their mind as they smile, wave and say “have a good day (vibrator girl)”, with just the slightest hint of pity in their voice.

“Come on Judy, I mumble to myself…pull yourself together…it’s not that bad!  Get up and start your day as if nothing happened!  Use the Power of Attraction…positive thoughts become positive things!   Oh, I’m positive alright…positive that I have to move.”    

So I lift myself out of bed and suddenly it hits me…I don’t think I ever went back out to turn the water off!!!!   Great…now I’ve single-handedly worsened the California water shortage!  That’s gonna be a nice water bill!
