The Chattering Crow: Nasty Louise

Nasty Louise

I don't want to get out of bed.

I don't want to brush my teeth.

I don't want to eat anything but white bread and butter.

I don't want to read.

I don't want to exercise.

I don't want to check my email.

I don't want to have any goals.

I don't want to leave the apartment.

I don't want to laugh at stupid jokes.

I don't want to have my hair cut.

I don't want to make a gratitude list.

I don't want the sun to shine.

I don't like puppies and kittens.

I don't want to repeat aphorisms.

I don't want to hear another political opinion.

I don't want to pin it, forward it, share it, edit it or like it.

Fish might die while you're visiting us, would that cheer you up?

I don't want to have any goats, either.

I am angry at my optometrist's office. They say my new prescription is "just fine".

Let's go eat something. That'll be good, right?

Mamma said there'd be days like that - ok she didn't but she should have. Indulge yourself and then pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go get that haircut, you'll feel SO much better. I love when they massage your scalp, if I won the lottery I would pay my hairdresser handsomely to come and do it every day for me.
