Ok...I confess, "Days of our Lives" was a favorite soap opera of mine years ago. However, that is not what prompted the title of this post. For some reason that phrase has just been running through my head ad nauseum for the past three days. Is it reminiscent of the quiet, soothing lull of McDonald Carey's baritone? Is it lifting me effortlessly as I carry out task after task at work (which, incidentally, is where I've been spending the majority of my time for the past 3 days)? Well, not exactly...it's a bit more cacophonous and sounds much more like this:
LIKE SANDS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS...SO ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES!
Yes, nothing lulling or soothing here...more like a jackhammer striking continuous blows dangerously close to your head. And yep...you guessed correctly, it is annoying. I'm in that floaty place where everything just becomes mechanical and you have to stop yourself 4 times while trying to complete a task just to ask yourself exactly what task needs completing. Speaking of tasks, I'd best get back to it. I'm so hoping it won't be another 15hr day...but at least I know there's more wine waiting for me at the end of it! And then sleep, blessed...glorious sleep!

After which, my life will undoubtedly resemble this lovely lulling and sensationally soothing picture (or something much better than it is now resembling)!
