universal remote

well it's morning and i made it to the weekend. wanted to quickly jot down the latest happenings as a way of keeping up with the new blog adventure.

yesterday. trapezeied. trapezed. trapezied. i think you get it. in any event went for a flight on a high-up trapeze yesterday. almost 30 feet up. the experience was definitely adventurous. the instruction was lax. i want to go again, just someplace else.

came home wiped out from the day, having yoga'd and trapeze'd and traffic sat'd. and the funk reared its ugly head. i think i was fooling myself to think in one of the last few posts that it was gone. i just pushed it down deep so as not to deal. don't get me wrong, i am usually genuinely happy even as emotions fester beneath. but then the bottled up grit and grime pushes back until i boil over. hence the funk, with the tears and frustration.

in the funk of the day and into the evening, when i lost count of how many $4 mai tai's i'd consumed in an effort to snap out of my funk and be social, the better half was using the words he knows how to use for comfort and support. but then stubborn ol' me couldn't get past the funk. it's a hard thing for me to do. it's not out of spite. i just have a hard time changing channels. i'm like the old remoteless teevee whose watcher needs to break gravity if he/she wants to watch something else. as that old teevee, i wait and wait until something happens to switch over. i wish i was a newer model perhaps with a universal remote that could do more. and herein lies the funk.

but wait. thankfully i have great friends in my life. who offer words of encouragement (including the better half). and make me feel less of a failure. and propel me to be the universal remote.
