In A Funk

I've been feeling blah lately and completely unmotivated. I know this is a multi-faceted funk, which should pass soon.

Exhibit A: The situation with my ex-friend has me worried about him and sad for me.

Exhibit B: The 5th anniversary of my dad's death was Sept. 17.

Exhibit C: The 4th anniversary of my mom's death is Nov. 26.

Exhibit D: My monthly friend has swooped in for an uninvited visit.

Exhibit E: I had a phone conversation early in the week with someone I am trying really hard to forgive and I'm finding it difficult to find that forgiveness. After I got off the phone, my blood pressure was 142/106. That's how hard it was to have that conversation.

There are a couple of things that have cheered me up the last few days, so I don't have to leave this on a Debbie Downer note.

One thing is this commercial. Embedding is disabled by request, so you have to clicky. Don't worry, it's totally safe for work, kids, pets and household plants.

It makes me laugh every time I see it. It's that voice!

Then there's this:



I've seen it on Facebook and several other blogs, but I watch it every.single.time. How cute is that?

So, see? Not all gloom and doom here. I'll snap out of it.

  2. Sorry to hear you are feeling down. All that stuff at once will do it to you... but at least you know what's going on, and can work through it.

    Also - that baby totally slays me! Especially the arm movements!

  5. Again, I have to wait until I get home from work. Oh well, at least it gives me something to look forward to!

    Hope that funk leaves you soon. I feel your pain, my friend.

  6. After the football team dance on Glee last night and this video making the rounds, I woke up with that song stuck in my head.

  10. Oh, with a little wordplay and video switching, what I couldn't do to turn that "pothole" commercial into something totally absurd! ;)

  11. Hang in there ETW, A,D, and E will work themselves out in the scheme of things. B and C are just going to take time to reconcile. I still am working through the deaths of my father and my oldest brother so I know how hard it can be around those times.

  17. I know all about the funk. I am trying hard to keep on the happy side of the funky. Getting my nails done today was a good boost. Sometimes the little things help.

  18. Maybe it's time to get you out of the house a bit and meet at the SA Cafe for a bite to eat and conversation?

  19. It's proof that no one can escape the power of Queen B!

  20. We all get in funks now and again, and you have some pretty valid reasons. It'll pass - In the meantime, for a pick me up go do the Single Lady Dance!

  21. Hang in there sweetie....all this too, will pass. Here's hoping you're feeling better soon!

  22. I hope the funk is soon lifted. It's hard to shake when a close friend does the presto-chango *snap* you're out of my loop for no good reason deal, but if that's the way he's going to be, you have plenty in this world to be thankful for and enjoy.

  24. I keep forgetting to watch the baby! I will remember tonight hopefully.

    I think I'm going to petition life that we only get one icky thing at a time to deal with and it has to line up.
