Superman, All Powerful Oprah or one winning lottery ticket, please :)

Wanting to be rescued isn't politically correct. We're told that we should want to stand on our own two feet and be independent beings who strive to become our very best selves, Well... there are days that you just don't have it in you and a miracle dropped at your feet sounds just perfect! You know those days:
You got out of bed and your body creaked more than the bed.
You looked in the mirror and wondered who is that tired old person.
You aren't old enough to officially be categorized as an old person and therefore do not receive any of the benefits.
You are purposely ignoring the pile of unpaid bills on the table or thinking about how quickly they would light and burn if somehow they found their way onto the lit stove burner.
You wish you can go do something exciting to get you out of this funk but there are a ton of things you feel you must do first. Oh, and you don't know what "something" would be strong enought to pull you out of the funk and you're sure it would take some money. Money that would have to go towards those bills, anyway.
It's one of those days...
A day where you are seeing everything thru old, cracked, out of style, dingy greenish yellow colored glasses.
Too lacking in energy to come up with any real plan which would involve any effort on your part, you start to imagine, fanciful scenarios that would lift you out of your current existence...
Scenario #1
Since my cell phone is always dead, or at home in the closet, I was headed toward one of the the last surviving phone booths and came upon Clark Kent changing into Superman. I knew his secret. He knew I knew his secret. I promised to never tell and of course, immediately, became his most trusted confidant. He became very fond of me, initially, because I reminded him of his mother. I would make him home cooked meals. He'd would do things to make my family's life better, just because he loved us. He'd valued our advice. He loved to take us on impromptu flights anywhere in the world. He protected us from any and all threats. He would be like a son to me, a brother to my husband and a favorite uncle to my children.
Scenario #2
Oprah Winfrey heard about my troubles and my family became her newest cause. She would right everything in our lives because she is "The All Powerful Oprah". Doctors would come to the house and run any and all tests needed to find out just what was ailing us. No doctor's bills would ever arrive in the mail. She would showcase my children's books on her show and we would never want for anything, in a financial sense, again. She would have her helicopter land in my backyard and she and her private trainer would exercise with us six mornings a week. She would come by and visit often to hang out with a her favorite regular American family. She would ask us how we were feeling and really listen and she'd send an appropriate professional by to counsel us. She would ask our advice and know we had her best interests at heart and would always tell her the truth, even if she was "The All Powerful Oprah"
Scenario #3
If Superman or Oprah never took a notice of us; we'd pick just the right numbers and win the lottery! Then we could buy our way out of most of our troubles. In my current frame of mind, it's just that easy

I'm so happy to have a nice comment, Thanks! I now have proof I am not talking to myself via the computer
I felt a little guilty transplanting Ms. Winfrey's head without her permission so I'm glad someone appreciated the result
I've read and liked quite a few of your posts; it's nice to know you've stopped by here, too.
