Issues on a Monday

I had a blog post prepared to go this morning including a zippy graphic
Accidentally pressed delete instead of post
Couldn't figure out how to get it back
Went in my browser history and found it (see, nothing really ever gets deleted from the internet, tell your kids/nephews/nieces/neighbors)
but couldn't get it to repost
Copied into blank document, copied back into blog
Doesn't look right
Read it over to make sure still like it
Hated it
Changed a bunch of things
Font still off, list not numbered, one section is gray
Then decided it's not the best story for today because:
1. It has nothing to do with April Fool's Day
2. It has nothing to do with the writing conference I just spent 72 hours at
3. It's generally on my nerves
At that point Husband called. I picked up breakfast and coffee for you, I will drop it off in five minutes.
Oh. Monday is looking up.

Why this story accurately reflects writing, and if you think about it, life:
  1. Sometimes you plan something and it doesn't really work out
  2. Even if you tinker with it, sometimes it just doesn't feel right
  3. You probably should listen to your gut
  4. It's ok to lean on loved ones for support (and breakfast)
  5. An act of kindness can change someone's whole outlook
  6. There a few problems a fresh cup of coffee can't solve
