elephant worship

my elephant cleans up real good

Amazing the difference a day can make! I don't know why I forget time and again the most obvious cures for the dark cloud ickiness...Ignoring the elephant didn't help, so I took a cue from the Hindu's and worshiped him as a deity. I gave him a bath (shower), anointed him with oils (Nivea hand cream), and then brought him to the garden for a day spent digging in the dirt.

The elephant has been appeased.

There was also a sprinkle of the usual Miss Scotch luck to lighten the mood, in that I filed my taxes and discovered a fat 4-figure refund is on the way...Cha Ching! Also, made an appointment to speak with a counselor at the California College of the Arts re: the furniture program tomorrow. Score! All in all, things are looking up. With the help of our friend's at Vick's, makers of Nyquil, I was able to sleep until 10:00 am. Awoke fresh as a daisy, cleaned the house, did yoga, meditated, and worked in the yard all day. I also managed to do all the laundry, including the bedding, and take one of those decadent hot showers where everything manages to get shaved and the hair washed & conditioned.

A minor miracle the hot water never ran out.

Lastly, I would like to direct your attention to the fact that it is Taco Tuesday, the most holy of weekday's celebrated at the casa ScotchPants. Just waiting for the man to get home to get this party started. Rudy is wearing his little poncho and the Christmas lights are aglow. Thank you to all for your kind words and encouragement. I don't know what I would do without you.
