Sometimes you can just phone it in

by Tracy

Or, writing a blog post about something is a great way to give it legitimacy

 

I’m having one of those days where every nerve is frayed and I don’t feel like I’m the boss of me and everything aches and I’m so tired I can cry.

No worries, this happens to me sometimes. About 12 times a year, as a matter of fact.

And usually, I’d just say screw it and not bother with the blogging, but this time I’m in a blogathon and I made a commitment to post every day.

Now, I could soldier on and push through and come up with something, but you see there’s really nothing pressing I need to say today and things will go on fine if I don’t and I’d really feel much better if I took something and went to bed early.

That’s one of the keys to happiness, I think, knowing when it will serve you best to soldier on and push through and when it’s okay to say hey, in lieu of a post, enjoy this New Order video.

By the way, speaking of happiness, there are still a few signed copies of How to Be Rich and Happy available to buy at about $20 each and the proceeds go to putting the book in the hands of those in need who could really benefit from the powerful message in the book. My life coach, Tim Brownson, who is just a fantastic man co-wrote the book and I can recommend it without reservations.

Don’t worry, it’s not some culty woo-woo thing, just practical solid advice for getting what you want, when you want. You’ll still have to work, mind you, but everything is much better when you have a plan.

This is not an affiliate link, so I don’t get anything from it. I just believe in the project and the message of the book and wanted to spread the word. The pre-sale ends May 10 or when they run out, whichever comes first, so get your copy today!

      Hi Kim! It’s just the month of May, so 31 days. I do think this will introduce me to the fine art of short and to the point posts.

    This is great for not writing an actual post. I know just how you feel. I have a post I need to write, though nothing will happen if I don’t. And I won’t. I will wait until tomorrow when things are clearer and I feel like the boss of me again. That is a great way to explain that feeling.

      I hate that not the boss of me feeling but what I really hate are people who look at you like you are crazy when you try to explain it.

      They just don’t know what it feels like because they’ve never been the boss of themselves. /this is really profound if you are stoned, trust me.

    Well, if you had to choose a video with which to phone it in, this is a great one. All those 80s eyebrows!

    I’m struggling today, too. Looks like it may be a drag queen post.

    • http://ihatemymessageboard.com/ Tracy

      Did you do one? Please say that you did!
      Still so kicking myself that I didn’t get the guy who is going to be on RuPaul’s show’s number! He could have been my new best drag queen friend, I just know it.

    For someone who had nothing to say, you said quite a bit.

    You have to WORK for what you want?

    Then forget it. I’m looking for the easy way out. Got any books on that?

      You know, it all comes down to coming out of the right vagina, I think.

    You changed something? Your comments are different? Or am I so tired that I'm hallucinating?

    I think you just did the Seinfeld (effectively) with this post, btw. Let me know if you don't get that.

    Hi Alisa, I thought I'd try out Disqus to see what all the hullabaloo is about.

    And please explain the Seinfeld!
