During a visit to the mental asylum,
I asked the director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized... "Well," said the director, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said.
"A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug.
Do you want a bed near the window?"

I came across this little piece today online.
I am not sure who to give credit to so, I will say Author Unknown.
But it impressed me to the fact I am blogging about it.
By the way, my support reminded me I forgot to blog yesterday. OOPS, sorry.
The day was hectic to start with and I wasn't at my desk for the majority of the day and then made a impromptu visit to the lab for blood work. So by 7pm I was chillin', greasing on some Mexican Food, yummy, and watching the track meet.
I digress.
How many times do we fry our brains trying to figure out what the heck to do when we should just do nothing. Or to say the very least, praise GOD, in times of trouble.
I am not poking fun at being institutionalized, but I am saying it turned the light bulb on for me on how to empty a bathtub.
Oh! by the way, for those of you who know me...I speak metaphorically;
my support says ABSTRACT.
Yup, straight to the point, he is.
However, the point being our lives sometimes get so filled we enter a state of overflow.
We panic and become irritated or agitated and cannot think or make proper decisions.
If we would do something so simple as "pull the plug" maybe the dirty water could drain.
Today, I am going to take it a step further.
I am going to clean the tub, get new linens, find the bath salts I have been saving,
for what???!! I dunno...
get my crystal champagne glass, fill it with the bottle of Dom that was probably re-gifted, bask, bathe and become a new woman.
See you tomorrow.
