Ever have one of those days... the day that everything you touch goes to hell? Well, mine started early last week. UGH... Let's see - starting with the appliance - since last Saturday, I have had to change 5 times!!!! In fact, a new one blew out on me yesterday about 15 minutes before I had to leave for work, so of course, I had to change it again last night when I got home. So that's 5 bags, 5 flanges, and 5 sure seal rings. And let me tell you, that was a real bitch getting off after it being on for only several hours - didn't think my skin could stretch like that (and screw the upside that it didn't blow out at work - not feeling very Zen about the whole thing). What a pain in the ass LOL - it's been shitty - literally LMSO... My sleep pattern has been all over the place - get home at 5:30pm or so from work - eat dinner and the next thing I know I'm out like a bear in hibernation, snoring, drooling, etc... then awake around midnight and I can't get back to sleep - let me tell you all there is nothing good on TV in the wee hours.... Reading is too much like a chore at that time too... I've been given two new jobs at work that will be mind-numbingly boring and tedious (now if I could only be like George Constanza from Seinfeld, I could build a bed under my desk and sleep there). But I think someone might notice... Still no date for surgery - can't find a good used iPod on Kijiji - the cat is being an asshole and no good guys on the dating sites - the upstairs neighbors are driving me crazy - just want to go up there and kick some ass...
I need good news, people - I need to hear from people who are having positive, productive days - I need perspective - send me good stories and feelings or at least share in my ennui.
Oh, and to top it off, Chapters didn't have my favorite licorice - bastards!!!
Come on and help out a pal.
Let the good times roll.
Thanks for listening.
