Life in an elevator

Life has its ups and downs -- all at the same time.

Down: headaches and arthritic knees
Up: Advil LiquiGels

Down: cold, dreary Saturdays.
Up: central heating

Down: gas prices
Up: having a car that runs and is paid for.

Down: working weekends
Up: having a job

Down: drab, brown landscapes
Up: bright yellow daffodils

Down: living alone
Up: not having to worry about putting the toilet seat down

Down: slow internet connections
Up: getting two loads of laundry done, dishes washed, and bathroom cleaned while ONE program update downloads.

Down: dieting
Up: hmmmm....I'll have to think about that one.

Down: income tax returns
Up: there IS NO UP! (sorry, raging liberals)

Oh well, I guess I should concentrate on the good things...like the kiss of a two year old, the smell of a woman's freshly washed hair, the pleasure of sleeping late on a Saturday, and most of all -- PROZAC!

Just can't argue with any of this. Not that I'm in an arguing sort of mood, or anything.
Great post (great 'blog) :)
