impatience | Tuesdays with Laurie

Different from weight loss (the shedding of pounds), wait loss (the shedding of patience) is less attractive on any figure.

I try not to do battle with time; clearly, it’s a losing proposition. Yet recently I found myself sitting in a waiting room swarming with other people who—like me—were becoming impatient. Fast!

Breathe yourself through this Laurie…

Inhale to the count of four.
Hold to the count of seven.
Exhale to the count of eight.
Repeat until your name is called.
You can do this.

Time—yours, mine, and ours—is irreplaceable. None of us knows how much of it we have left. Not to be squandered, every moment of this precious commodity should be enjoyed to the fullest.

Are you gaining or losing wait?

Listen with your heart,

While I haven’t actually thrown myself on the ground, or kicked and screamed, Len just asked me, “Laurie, would you like some cheese with your whine?” In other words, I’ve been fussing, whining, and generally belly-aching.

When we contacted the Geek Squad Recovery Team to find out the status on the potential recovery of the data on my dead hard drive, they said they hadn’t received it yet and that they’d send us an email with a status once they did. In other words, “Cool your jets, lady.”

A person can only clean so much! After that, I apparently throw my pent-up energy into whining. I said I didn’t believe it. Len said, “You know how you’ve threatened to record my snoring? Well, I’m going to record your whining.”

“Yes, thank you very much. I’d like a glass of merlot and some blue stilton cheese with crackers …”
