There's something to be said for romantic comedies.

Today I felt terrible. My sister and I were woken up by a screaming baby pretty much on the hour, every hour last night because we were babysitting Allie, our niece, who is coming down with a cold and having trouble breathing through her congested nose and sucking on a binky at the same time (ah, those simple infant trials and tribulations). Anyway, needless to say, I was tired and my sister was sick and I felt like I was getting sick today too. I had a migraine for most of the day today until my Dad prayed for me and it went away. (Blessedly!)

So, I've been really, really depressed lately. Seriously. It's weird. I've just not been happy with my life at all. One iota. I'm in debt, still living with my dad (but that's a unique situation anyway because he doesn't want to live alone here and he doesn't want to move and if I move, my sister will move in here and rent her house out and that would just be weird and she would really feel like an old maid then and this is now a run-on sentence just for you, Jana, dear. ;o). Back to my list: I haven't been successful in my weightloss and haven't heard from The Biggest Loser yet, I feel far away from God, but I'm not really trying to be close, just to be honest, and I'm not happy at work because I feel like I'm being judged and come up short all the time.

But today I decided I would watch a good movie. I've been wanting to watch Return to Me for a while now, and so I did. I turned the fire on, made a bowl of soup, grabbed a blanket and curled up on the couch for the movie. It was so therapeutic! I enjoyed watching someone else mourn and cry and recover and live and love. It was great (even though it was fiction). Just wanted to say that I'm happy right now and hopeful. :o)
