When is enough really enough?

January 27th, 2010 - Ever notice how some days things go from bad to worse, and just when you think they can't get any worse, they do. So when is enough, enough, and who gets to call the shots on when it really is enough. Certainly it is not me because I screamed uncle several times today, and said enough, only to find out I was wrong it was not enough.

I started out my day the usual way by a friendly greating to my maker. "good morning God" I said, (only it came out like Good God, it's morning). I found my way to the coffee pot, but not before I tripped on my slipper, stub my toe on the door jam, and burnt my finger pouring the coffee. But one sip, and the world was good. After a quick shower - quick because I neglected to notice I was out of shampoo, so I jumped out to get it, then I noticed the towel fell into the bathtub on the other side of the shower, opposite the door, jumped out to retrieve, and finally I was so cold because I forgot to turn up the heat, 68 degrees is mighty cold when you are jumping in and out of a shower, that I decided I was clean enough. However the shampoo was not out of my hair enough, so I had to get back in and rinse it out. ENOUGH. After dressing and making lunch, well almost lunch, I was out of lunchmeat, and cheese alone did not sound good, nor did jelly with no peanut butter, and I just could not eat another lettuce leaf. So an apple it was. Enough I mutter to myself, this day has to get better. So far the 45 minute drive to work was the best part of my day. As usual, the day was easy going and slow, NOT. Whoever invented instant messaging should be shot. Bad enough to get 100 emails a day, but while you are in email, you get pinged again, and again, and again. Enough. After 9 hours of playing ping pong with my email and instant messaging this day came to an end. All I have to do is go home and have dinner and some down time. Right after I stop and get gas, pick up perscriptions, drop off cleaning, and get some lunchmeat for lunch tomorrow. This is sooo enough of this day.

After dinner I did feel better. So much better that I thought well, with this bad of a day, a little bit of ice crean couldn't hurt. Just a little, couple of spoonfuls and that's enough. Well maybe a small bowl, with a little chocolate syrup, and that's enough. Ok a cereal bowl with chocolate syrup and some chopped nuts. That's really enough. Well, I'll just eat out of the carton, pour the chocolate sauce and sprinkle on the nuts as I eat, and oh yeah, a couple of squirts of whipped cream to wash it down. Enough? You know sometimes you have no say so in what is enough, but when it comes to eating ice cream, I don't think you can ever have enough.
