A few weeks ago my coworker was having a bad day. She was telling her grandma about it, to which her grandma responded- oh suck it up, life is hard!
Last night I felt like this...
AAAAAAA!!!!!!! I came home to my empty apartment and thought- this stinks! I don't want to be here tonight. I don't want to eat dinner on my couch alone tonight. I thought of every excuse to be sad or frustrated. My dad was in Alaska, couldn't get a hug from him. My BFFs had company in town, they weren't avaliable to spend time with. I was sad over my last patient whose condition broke my heart. My heart was feeling tender over a mentally ill friend who has run off. I tried being little Miss Independent and put up my new curtains, only to be frustrated at my lack of knowledge on how to drill a few holes with a very capable drill I borrowed. I watched a sad episode of a TV show. And as it sometimes does, those moments turn into- I-hate-being-single moments. Somehow my good week and good day, turned into a pity party. Well I put myself to bed early for a Friday night and hoped Saturday morning would be sunnier. (No doubt it will when the high today is 106 degrees.)
It's Saturday Morning. I don't feel all woe is me. I probably could have used my coworkers grandma last night saying- suck it up!
I will take a few self-absorbed moments to show why I do NOT hate my life.
Listen up Tamara, suck it up and get a hold of yourself!

I may have days that stink, I mean, who doesn't? But the majority of my days are full of light, hope, happiness, joy, and love. So next time I feel trapped in a cage made of bones and want to scream...
I say, GRRRR BRING IT!
