One Of Those Days

Ever have one of those days when you wake up and feel like pulling the covers over your head but you can't because there is too much work on your desk to do and it would still be there on Monday morning only doubled? Yeah one of those days with a nasty cold coming on and you really don't feel like dragging your aching body into work but you do any way. This was one of those days when the Vick's DayQuil just wasn't up to the job but I snuffled my way through the working day.

Something happened however that made it all worth while. I do a calendar each year using my artwork from the proceeding twelve months. I have a lot of family and friends who really love the calendars and that is what they want for Christmas each year. Well last night I printed the first of the calendars. I always print the one for the house so I can check and make sure there aren't any mistakes in it. My coworkers have been asking me to bring the calendar in because they like looking at it. Well this year the remarks were absolutely fantastic. I work with people who rarely give compliments but I felt so good after the review my coworkers gave of the calendar. They just loved it.

It is sure tempting to go back to a certain newsgroup and let a couple people know how wrong the rest of the world thinks they are. As my second grade teacher said "take a look at her art work!"

The picture is called Door To Your Dreams and people really loved it.
