Course Correct

You could say I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

One of those nights when you toss and turn and fight over the blanket. And then wake up and decide going to the gym and/or to work early is out of the question.

One of those mornings when you pour too much cereal into the bowl and it all overflows when you add the milk. And you watch CSPAN for five minutes before realizing it's not the Today Show. And then get mad at your dog because he keeps getting in your way while you're getting ready.

When you can't stop thinking about how messy your house is, how much laundry you have to do, and that you're almost out of toothpaste. When you start dictating blog posts and emails in your head, hoping that when you sit down at your computer, you'll still remember them, all the while wishing someone had invented some sort of memory recorder where it would just translate your thoughts into the written word.

Yep, it was one of those mornings where I had to course correct and stop for an iced coffee, even if it meant getting a bad parking spot and being 10 minutes late for work.
