Love Thursday

Posted on Thursday, October 12, 2006 at 06:58

I have this nasty little problem with depression. I have it pretty much under control unless of course I become mindless and forget to take the little blue pill for my tyroid everyday. Just that one wee gland in your throat can wreck havoc on even the most upbeat individuals. So, I have been off in my grumpy place, feeling sorry for myself and ranting inside my head about how I felt that I was finally getting things under control with my latest added medication and now I was backsliding. Not once did it occur to me that I was forgetting to take my thyroid. Can we say duh? All together now.... DUH!

Anyway, I am feeling much better now. It appears that our welfare situation is under control (hooray!) and my only pressing concern is the fact that my new medication makes people literally want to eat sugar straight from the bowl the cravings are so bad. I don't know whats worse... gaining weight and being happy or losing some weight and feeling terrible. For example: last night I needed a sugar fix so badly that I made up a cake mix and very seriously contemplated sitting on my bed with a good book, the batter and a very large spoon.

*Sigh*

Well now, all that said, today is after all, LOVE THURSDAY...

I was honestly sitting here thinking that I didn't really have a whole lot to offer for love Thursday this week until I watched my youngest darling with our dog. She was petting her every so nicely, and then leaned forward and licked the top of the dogs head. When I asked her why she was licking my dog, she answered, in all sincerity and with great affection: "because she likes it"

Apparently, love is licking the dogs head... just because she likes it.

I love you to Missy Maggie Boo-hoo... you with all your loving floppiness and snuggly soft fur but I regret to say that I do not love you enough to lick your beautiful head. I will leave that up to Boo thankyouverymuch.
