Yesterday…I woke up…out of sorts…I asked my friends at school to loan me some…but…they seemed to be…out…as well…
And…alas…I was…out of sorts…all day…
But…somewhere along the line…my curiosity got up…where did the expression come from…what did it mean…sorts…is a strange word when you think about it…
So…I did what I do best…well…except for napping…I Goggled it…seems that sorts were the little letters and characters that were used in typesetting…in years gone by…and the phrase originated from the frustration of being in the middle of a project…and running out of the letters that you needed to finish it…
Out of sorts…
Bertha…said my fact finding was exemplary…but…she was more interested in how I was going…to…get…back into sorts…
Hmmm…
Time for the contemplation chair…or…maybe I could just buy a bag of those magnetic letters…then I could have extra…sorts…any time I need them…

PS…Send me a message if you would like some…one-on-one time with…Bertha…we have a limited number of coaching slots available…
