The newest Packer fan sleeps a sleep of great disappointment, retreat and contemplation.
The five stages of grief are Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. I looked it up when a friend lost her job yesterday and said she'd already gone through all stages and was going to Mexico for a week. And then I applied them to the atmosphere of the house this morning after the Packer loss. Shares of the Packers, worth 2.5 cents yesterday, fell to zero today. It was a big night of peanuts tossed at the television, and a clean-up this morning was imminent. But someone forgot to place the vacuum bag inside the new shopvac, and it filled with dirt and hair, just as it is supposed to. So to use the wet vac as a dry vac, some preparation was required.
Packer fan the day after, vacuuming the vacuum, practicing acceptance.
The Third Resolution of the year is Deva-karya-samudyata; to be involved with those things that make us shine brighter. Hence contemplative retreat, vacuuming the vacuum, and skiing in zero degree air, .
