Love It

Whenever I'm having an off day, it is certain that this song can always make it better.

You Are the New Day

I will love you more than me

and more than yesterday

If you can but prove to me

you are the new day

Send the sun in time for dawn

Let the birds all hail the morning

Love of life will urge me say

you are the new day

When I lay me down at night

knowing we must pay

Thoughts occur that this night might

stay yesterday

Thoughts that we as humans small

could slow worlds and end it all

lie around me where they fall

before the new day

One more day when time is running out

for everyone

Like a breath I knew would come I reach for

the new day

Hope is my philosophy

Just needs days in which to be

Love of life means hope for me

borne on a new day

You are the new day

Ode to the Bathroom

So, I hate germs. Really bad. I acquired this dislike growing up in the household I did. (Germs were not allowed in under any circumstance). I owe it all to my mother, who well, owes it all to her mother. So I guess this post should be entitled, Thank You Grandma Helen. While I'm on the topic of thanking people though, I may as well thank Marissa my dear sweet cousin as well. I'll tell you why in just a little bit. 

First a little history about the past few months while I've been living in this 12x9 square I call 'home', I'm proud to say I've yet to intentionally step bare-foot in our absolutely disgusting bathroom. Better known as The Mold Box, I better explain this though. Our bathroom really is usually kept up, our apartment mother ... aka ... Kelli seems to do a good job at cleaning the sickest parts, the tub and toilet, often. (Thank you by the way) and I have a thing about our t.p. countertops and soap. We always have Bath and Body soap (which reminds me, I need to make a mall run, we are running low) but still, it is disgusting. 

The reason for this post though is now, courtesy of Marissa - we have TOILET SEAT COVERS!!!  Thats right. Be jealous if you would like. Marissa gave them to me the other day as an early Birthday Present. FIVE THOUSAND OF THEM. Love her for forever because of that. I've attached a picture so you can see them in all of their glory. 

These little babies are helping me make it through the homestretch as germ free as possible.
