Better I should know

ebonlockVery proud of myself today, got all the cleaning done last night that I needed to, plus emptied the litter boxes and took out the trash. Then chatted with Aelf while working on a second craft project that I really need to make some serious progress on. But the stage I did last night I'd never done before and it went pretty smoothly so I felt quite good about it. The cats also decided it was the coolest thing ever (tm) and actually fought over who got to sit closest to (or on) it. Very strange.
Also swung by a thrift store and found the perfect pair of jeans. I'm allowed to find jeans that will fit me about twice a year if I'm lucky and all the planets are in the correct alignment. These are not only the right size, but straight-legged and long. Usually when a label says "long" I just dismiss it. I mean there's long and then there's my legs, which seem to be freakishly so. But these actually hang down below my ankles when I'm standing and stay right at my ankles when sitting. After doing the "squat test" in the dressing room I nearly burst into tears. Instead I grabbed them and clung to them like a security blanket until I got them safely home. One good washing later and I'm wearing them today, I may indeed wear them all week. I do love them so.
It's weird but every time the new Sarah McLachlin song comes on the radio I have to stop and listen to it. Hell I have to sing along with it. I think it's become my new theme song:
Heaven Bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere long the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
But the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
We all begin out with good intent
When love is raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to these I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem away to be revealed
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
