Meredith Brooks Gets Me

One of my favorite songs is “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks  for a variety of reasons (it’s on my playlist for when I’m feeling down 😊). But today especially because of the first line “I hate the world today…”

Now I don’t really hate the world, but somedays it just feels like that. I think it started when I went on my bike ride today (the masochism has begun 🙃) and I realized how bad my cardio has gotten since I stopped swimming. Then add on the humidity and I was a hot mess after my 20–25 minute ride 🥵 (building up my endurance y’all!). It was not an attractive thing to witness 😬.

I showered and walked into my closet to pick out something to wear and I hated everything I own. Every shirt I looked at I thought “I’ve worn a thousand time already this year (spoiler alert – I haven’t 😜) or it just looked old, or it covered up too much for this heat, or I just wasn’t “feeling it” today. It took me about ten minutes to decide what to wear after I spent 20 minutes telling myself not to throw out everything I own (insert my patented Dramatic Sigh here 😁).

This usually happens later in the summer but this year it came started earlier than usual and has made me a little surly today 😡, which then tempers the rest of my day. And the heat index and incoming storm only serves to exacerbates (why does this spelling look wrong 🤨?) my mood. GAAAHHH

So, what does one do in these situations? First – batten down the hatches because that storm is going to be UGLY. Then I changed the energy in the house by focusing on a task (today was cleaning) until the irritation goes away and finally I “Bitch” (see what I did there 😆) about it on my blog because I know I am not the only woman who has had moments of wanting to rid her closet of everything and start from scratch 🤣!

And in the end as the song goes “tomorrow I will change and today won’t mean a thing”. Such is my life most times 😁😁.

Hah! Word didn’t flag Bitch. I guess it’s the one cuss word it doesn’t mind 🤪. Also if you’ve never heard this song, you may want to check it out. https://youtu.be/6ge53QaDpKQ
