divine

You know that expression "to err is human, to forgive divine" -- well, that's all well and good, but honestly that just doesn't cover it for things that are more than human errors -- things that are beyond belief. You know, those horrific things in the back of your brain that you kind of pick at like old scars every once in so often, which, in the most minimal sense just give you a bad feeling for a few days, but really when you let it come to the surface can bring you down pretty fast.

So I heard a better one for wrapping my head around some things, and knowing that most people out there also have similar haunting memories, I thought I'd share:

I blame you for nothing.
I forgive you for everything.

Makes you think, huh

where i've been

home. in pj's. doing nothing. It's been WONDERFUL. Before that, i was working my tail off. It was the pre-holiday plus actual holiday madness that took over my life. We celebrate em all, so it takes a village. So I took a break, hung out, drank many bottles of wine, and I think I may have actually gotten my sense of humor back! So -- back to Normal -- Hurrah!

I was driving to work early the other week and right in front of me was Anti-Rights Man. You know the guy -- I think I may have mentioned him once or 5000 times before. He had his back bumper all decked out in his faiths bull-shit stance on The Rights We As Women Have, and HE as a man has no right in the mother-fn world to talk smack about..... So Lord Help Me Not To Ram The Bumper was all I could say to myself. I actually called my husband to talk me down from the Cliffs of Insanity.

As Chris says "L. to the I. to the G" Let It Go. So I let it go. Its gone, but not forgotten.

What else, what else... Oh --- a crazy man came into my office today. Yup. Walked right in. I was listening to music, typing at my computer with my back to the door, and this guy just walked right in and stood there for a bit before saying anything. Creepy. It was one of those moments-- I could Feel Something Was Wrong, so I turned slowly, and there was this guy just staring at me. At first, I thought perhaps he was OK, so I said my usual "Hey, I'm Sara, do you need some help blah blah blah" and at first he was like "What is this room?" and then, pacing "Is this a SCHOOL!!?" I explained, no, this was the library, and this was my office, and what are you in need of, and could I assist you out in the public area where you are supposed to be...but he kept on about my office being an old school... It got weird. And it seemed the only thing to do -- the only logical thing -- was to go along with him with the whole "this was an old school" thing - So I did, and he left, and then I ran around the building doing heavy breathing techniques trying to get my pulse under lock and key so I could go back and work again!

Life is somehow funny again. Thank you crazy many for making my day!
