• tea tastes better than wine
• and water tastes better than tea or wine
• having your formerly favorite morning beverage of choice, coffee, feels like a distant memory
• nothing in your life feels like it fits anymore
• because suddenly you feel like you have to move away from the city you have been living in for 10 years {I’m talking about you Los Angeles}
• you hear your new neighbor pace her garden while chatting loudly on her cell pone about her business and it sounds like she is screaming
• {now you really have to move}
• all of your cookbook recipes annoy you because 
• food does not taste good
• the most comforting sound to you is that of your cat snoring because she is napping next to you
• your  big plan for the day is to make it through what has to be done, so you can nap again
• no matter how many good nights of sleep and three hour naps you take, you are still exhausted
• writing a once sentence email feels like it will take too much time to craft
• any and all tasks take you three times as long to complete
• the only blog post you can craft is one with a lot of bullet points
• you will only wear your new cry wolf, panda sweatshirt because it is SO comfy and soft
• a super soft kleenex is like heaven
• you call your acting agent and tell him you are moving {are you noticing a theme?}
• you long to feel yourself again, so you can get back to work and act upon all those ideas inspired by the amazing conference you attended last week {& you haven’t even been able to write your blog post about said conference}
• you long to feel yourself again...
• you almost break into tears when a stranger tells you "isn’t it such a beautiful day today?" ~ because up until that moment you were definitely moving away because you thought that all the people in Los Angeles were wretched. turns out they are not
• you think you are feeling better, so you run some errands and realize that you are driving 5 miles per hour ~ back to bed
• giving into the down time, blankets, cozy socks, warm hugs, hot tea, cats who snuggle, a good movie, and the glow of your new star globe start to make you feel better

Here’s to a return to living sometime next week. Wishing you a happy weekend and to those of you who might be feeling under the weather too ~ Feel Better Soon!
