Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Do What I Damn Well Please

September 16, 2022

I came to this thought today when I was messing around on the internet. I think maybe I was chiding myself for doing “nothing” when I should be doing “something” and ya know what? I said to myself, “Self – do what you damn well please today. It’s been a rough week and you deserve to do what you want to.” And so I did. Actually that thought came half way through my do nothing afternoon, but who cares.

After I dropped my son off to work this afternoon, I miraculously got into the Starbucks drive through – ALONE! My phone died on me right as I needed to pay so I cracked out my Starbucks gold card – still works! And I got my free Venti Pink Drink. That started the happy off.

After I got home I decided to trim and paint my nails. Well that was fun. So, I looked at my bookshelf to see if I had a certain book (I didn’t) which led me to find one on finances for women which I really need to read so I put that in my book basket. Yes, I really do have a basket for the books I’m reading. Which led me to…

My Bibliotherapy book and I read the first chapter – about bad girls in books. That led me to look up those books to see if any were at my library (most aren’t), then to Amazon, then to Thriftbooks. I’m going to buy one of them for sure. Reading that chapter made me laugh and I really haven’t done much of that in months.

This week has been rough – the Queen died last week and that kicktarted a crying jag that led to a dehydrated anxiety attack thing which led me to an ER visit and an arm that looked like I’m a drug addict because they couldn’t get a good vein to put an IV in for fluids and bloodwork. And that’s why I decided that this afternoon I’d do whatever the hell I wanted to…because I needed to.

And now, I’m off to make french toast and sausage with one of my daughters and enjoy my evening. I’ll be watching thirtysomething later (I’m already in Season 3) and then go to bed feeling pretty damn good for once.

So yeah, there are days when you do have to just put it all aside and take time to do what you want. If you don’t you’re not going to be happy with yourself or anyone else. Everyone needs a break.
