“It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.” — Judith Viorst quoting Alexander

Travels With Maggie
I was sick yesterday with a 24-hour bug. I broke my glasses. My computer is acting up again. And I was up all night with Maggie, whose ears were hurting. And of course, being as it’s the holiday season, I’m already over budget for the month.
This morning I ignored the rule about never feeling sorry for myself, and broke down and cried while on the phone with my oldest daughter.
You can insert the S word here if you like.
So it’s off to take Maggie to the expensive-as-hell vet who never seems to solve the problem, get a new pair of glasses and visit the geeks. Hopefully they can fix my computer so I can blog again tomorrow, hopefully about happier things.

Meanwhile, I thought I’d share a picture of a happier day with you. It’s one of my very favorite views taken from Huntsville, Utah.
Oh, and if you’re looking for a book to give some young person this year, I suggest Judith Viorst’s “Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.”
