I woke up feeling a bit ashen,
like someone had turned the colour saturation down
on my face and my plans.

Everything was slightly askew —
the chair at the wrong angle,
the mug just off-centre,
my confidence wobbling like a picture frame
that refuses to sit straight.

And then life dropped an anvil.

Not literally (thankfully),
but the emotional equivalent:
one unexpected task,
one forgotten thing,
one “oh no, not today” moment.

Still, I survived.
I adjusted the frame.
I drank the coffee.
I stepped carefully around the imaginary anvil.

Because some days aren’t graceful —
they’re cartoons.
And if you don’t laugh,
the anvil wins 😄☕🪨
