Hump Day Say Anythings
All it's been doing lately is thundering and lightening with the hot/cool air around these parts. It waits until we are asleep to do this and then again really early in the morning about an hour before the alarm clock goes off. I hate the weather! Not to mention all the pollen floating around everywhere.
Re: Hump Day Say Anythings
If I didn't know better I would swear its a full moon today because on the drive to work EVERYONE was driving like anasshole! I almost got hit twice by people following too closely or not signaling.
And then some jackhole was going about 15mph UNDER the speed limit while merging onto the freeway so I merged left of him as soon as it was possible and sped way the fruck up and he jerked in behind me and started flashing his highbeams. FUUUUUCCKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUU MORON, MERGE AT THE APPROPRIATE SPEED!
*smooths down hair and wipes froth from mouth*
I've got a plan in place and being implemented to pay off my debt and it feels frucking fabulous. Should take me about a year, possibly less with these bonuses I'm getting, and I'm excited.
I love thunder and lightning!
Allergies, not so much.
I have been really tired and lethargic lately and I'm worried something is wrong with me. I'm hoping it will pass after my period is over, but if it doesn't I think I'm going to see my doctor. This is not normal for me at.all.
I hate the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper. I was thinking about the animated version of it the other day - how it supposedly teaches you to plan for the future and not waste your time yukking it up on the fiddle, but what it really teaches you is that those practical ants will save your grasshopper ass when winter comes.
I know that's way random, but there it is.
I've been in a really grumpy mood lately. More in a "God, people are so stupid" kind of way than anything else.
Cannot sleep. It is making my days suck.
I feel like I got about an hour of real sleep last night and woke up horribly nauseous. It's mostly passed by now but omg it sucked. I think it has to do with allergies. Possibly it has to do with my H and his loud breathing/snoring thing he does when he sleeps.
I want to go home.
The pollen count here yesterday was OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND~!!!! I'm not having allergies but if I go outside I start sneezing because there's so much of it it irritates my nose anyway. I feel so freaking bad for my H.
I loaned MIL my precious, precious vacuum yesterday. I was feeling really weird about it, because she has a way of unintentionally destroying anything & everything mechanical. And of course this morning we have f*cking ants, and I can't vacuum up any Joaquin cereal crumbs. :
I'm annoyed by everyone and everything right now so I'm putting myself on a social time-out.
As I sit in my corner I'm just getting pissy about petty tings and letting it fester. And, like the sitting bull that I know myself to be, I am going to blow up at someone for something bland and hate myself in the morning.
Aren't you all lucky I decided to come on the Nest? Yay you!
(Reasons for annoyance: Little girls being hateful to my daughter, friend of mine that I love but is so dumb I worry for her and she now decided to start talking to me like I'm slow, BFF's newish wife is now pregnant and wants him to stop speaking to me because it causes her stress. We live on different continents. Dr appts out the azz and I just.. Ugh WTFE)
I am sick of dogs with hangers-on all week. I don't want to be running around wiping poopy butts anymore!
I have a four day weekend starting tomorrow. There is a ton I could and probably should be doing at work, and I'll pay for that next week, but right now I don't care. I've worked up 60+ hours of PTO, and I'm taking it, dammit!
I've been on a roll with projects this week, painting chairs, getting pictures framed and fixing little things around the house. I love spring air.
I think my Keurig died. We just bought a bunch of K-cups, so I'm probably going to get another one. Unfortunately, this is my 3rd Keurig that has died and I don't trust them anymore.
The puppy peed on the bed this morning while FI was home. He's not allowed on the bed but is so fast and quiet and he also learned how to push the door open. FI didn't even see him come into the room. Ugh.
Sorry...I know this isn't supposed to be a venting thread, but I needed to vent!
Ditto this, that's great news!
I said it before, I'll say it again.
I am addicted to Draw Something. I have been less than productive today waiting for those little notifications to pop up on my phone. So pathetic! I even broke down and upgraded to the pay edition.
And the random stranger I'm playing against keeps picking NFL or college team names and writing UNIVERSITY OF IOWA or NFL PITTSBURG (yes, no H at the end). No pictures. Boooooring.
Also, I love Apple. My five month old iPhone 4S decided to stop charging yesterday, and I knew that Toddler Malibu had spilled some juice on the phone. Apple handed me a brand new phone last night (complete with non-cracked screen, no less - mine cracked the week after I got it).
I stopped drinking Mountain Dew this week to see if I lose any weight. Went to the SoBe energy lifewater and it's not too bad. Not nearly as much energy as the Mountain Dew, though.
