sunshine and whine
The weather is beautiful here today; it’s supposed to get to 26 degrees Celcius; I’m not one for conversions, so you Fahrenheit people are on your own.
All PMS jokes aside, I am not usually a grouchy person. These days I find myself oddly grumpy. Ever have those days when you feel like rolling your eyes at everyone in your life being inefficient? God, that sounds snobby, but that’s how I’m feeling.
–My son Derek was so bad last night with our company. My friend’s daugher has a cast on, and Derek just could not slow down around her. He hurt her badly, twice … but not intentionally … just him being him. He goes 1000 miles an hour; he’s like the Tasmanian devil. For the first time, I do not feel good about going to spend four nights with these folks in August. I think their daughter is completely petrified at the thought, and we’ll need to pitch in for counselling for her pre-and post-visit.
–I ordered a book via our University bookstore. This is for the curriculum project I’m doing, and the delusional sweet lady at the bookstore gave me two options. I could pay an extra $20 on top of a $159 (choke, choke) text to have it couriered to me in 3 days, or I could not pay that and it would arrive ” in just a week, dear.” A difference of four days, so I chose not to pay. I called today, as I REALLY need this text to get ahead on my project. The much-more-realistic-yet-highly-condescending receptionist said, “HA! A week?!?! Who told you that?!?” Apparently, I have two MORE weeks to wait … at least. Grrrrr. See where my need to eye roll comes in???
–The renovations continue to get Troy his own room. This is taxing our whole family, frankly. Renovations are just not good for family life.
–All of my other whining is about work, which I won’t blog about. But, I think you get the idea.
I think I’m kind of irked because I’m struggling to find a 5 k race that I can fit into our schedule this summer. For everything I find, we’re away or have another significant commitment. Now I’m looking at September or October, which isn’t what I wanted to do. I need a boost now, and I feel pumped knowing I can run the distance.
Got out for a short walk last night after our company left but the Mosquito Running Club was out in full force. Annoying bunch. Long-legged and fast.
Okay, okay … back to work. Have a good one!
