FRIDAY 55
I feel like...
I have a pebble in my shoe.
One bra strap is twisted and the other keeps slipping off my shoulder.
My underwear is creeping up on me.
My socks are sagging around my ankles.
My bangs keep falling into my eyes.
My glasses keep sliding down my nose.
I am uneasy,
restless,
unsettled.
Lotta that goin' around these days. . .
ReplyDeleteWell-crafted 55, too. . .
Oh yeah, those days bite. They really do.
ReplyDeleteyeah i might be the same way as well...tomorrow is a new day
ReplyDeleteFirst off woman, fling those undies and bra to the curb!! (But if you can recommend some undies that don't end up in a wedgie, please let me know. I've been looking for years for some.)
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, this is a great poem that spells out that edgy unsettled unbalanced feeling.
xoxo
I'm feeling a little like that today too AND my hair has gone frizzy. I hate that.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the uneasy, restless, and unsettled, it's a perfect description of me.
ReplyDeleteyou look funny here,
ReplyDeletewitty word play.
i am sure you are neat in reality.
cheers.
remarkable 55.
Having met you in person Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI have to agree.....
At your WORST..You are impeccable!
ReplyDeleteLoved your disheveled 55 Trini.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Know the feeling--and wait til you jam the zipper on your jeans and/or purse/coat, whatever...you've nailed a larger, more intangible lack of fit and comfort with all those very real small frustrations. Nicely imagined 55.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing I could say...
ReplyDeleteexcept, if you lived in my town, we'd have tea at Barista, lunch at Bluehour and drinks after work at Little Bird, at which point you'd be giggling so hysterically that you wouldn't CARE about all that stuff.
My girlfriends know how to make one of ours feel better about those kinds of days...
each little out of place thing can be so bothersome - add them all up and ...
ReplyDeleteyou described it perfectly
smiles
I know that feeling! Sounds like a typical day when I was first sporting those training bras! Great 55!
ReplyDeleteI know those days. And what is it about bra straps that do that? Great connecting with you on days like these.
ReplyDeleteOooh yes- good catch ! edgy is a good way to describe this week. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTimes like that suck. Hold on, this too will pass.
ReplyDeleteHm. Gotcha. Obviously, I don't have the bra problem, but my nose is pouring like a little kid's, and this friggin' Mac is bouncing me beachballs. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteNice 55, though. And I wish you an improved mood soon.
I'm not the hugest fan of St. Augustine, but one of his sayings is worth remembering, I think:
Our souls are restless until they rest in Thee.
I try to keep that in mind. Some days I even do.
Great vivid descriptions. Put the reader in your piece's shoes.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeletewe match!!
Perfect! That is exactly how it feels!
ReplyDeleteA psalm of lament.
ReplyDeleteThat all probably makes you walk funny. Great 55.
ReplyDeleteYep. And tired, to boot.
ReplyDeleteFalling bra straps, creeping underwear and sagging socks just make me IRRITABLE!!!!!!!! And I'm pretty settled on that.
ReplyDeleteMy advice to you, is to start drinking heavily.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have to listen to him. He's pre-med.
Ooh, sexy baby!
ReplyDeleteSame here:(
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is gonna be a new day!
ReplyDeleteHere is mine:
homing
I get where you're at...except for the bra stap, that is. (^_-)v
ReplyDeleteOne of those days huh Michelle? - Dave
ReplyDelete"My underwear is creeping up on me" ... better than having a creep in your underwear, I should think.
ReplyDeletei have days like that, it means i need new underwear!!
ReplyDeleteA very quietly, very edgy piece.
ReplyDeleteI just have to feel that you're going to come out the other side of this phase of life with something golden--a proper payoff for all the ebbs and flows and scritches and scratches that have been scrabbling at your wellbeing this last year. Damn.
