dear my body,

Okay Dude, you have got some serious explaining to do.

Why are you making yourself so sick?  Why can you not get over your stupid fever and your disgusting phlegm and BE NICE TO ME?  Because for heaven sake, my body, I have waiting FOUR years to celebrate Senior Week. And now you have to go and ruin it for me.

I have been so nice to you.  Extra vitamin C, gallons of water, excessive amounts of pain relieving/fever reducing Tylenol and aspirin.  I even picked up our part of the room for you.  And I washed our sheets too, in the hopes that all the cleanliness would get you on your best behavior.

This is not funny, my body.  In fact it making me even madder than I was last summer when you thought it would be a good prank to start losing hair for no good reason.  I was almost ready to forgive you for that.  Now I am not so sure.

But you have got to pull it together.  I have 4 days of fun events - events that would normally involve a significant amount of booze and laughter.  Now I am willing to give up the alcohol, but you better let us make it to the events.  Because I really do not want to miss out on the laughter.

And another thing!  I am not sure if you have been paying attention, but we have a very hot boyfriend coming to visit us on Friday.  If you want him to come within a 10 foot radius, you better start healing.  And fast.

Have I made myself clear?  Thank you.  And I love you.

Sincerely,
The Brains of this Operation

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
