7am. alarm goes off and i hit snooze three times. each of my 10 minute intervals of bliss are further divided by the metered ear blistering chirp of a smoke detector whose battery power is insufficient. and me without a new 9V. pity.
you know your life is terribly exciting when you've had such a fun filled weekend that you set your alarm for 7am monday morning to do the dishes. and open a tupperware container to be bombarded with the anaerobic bacteria now calling it home. then i had to quell my gag reflex long enough to brush my teeth.
flush the toilet. landlady calls to ask me if there's still water running down my windows. (side note: she's called me at work to update me on the saga of the excess humidity in my apartment every day for the past week.) i wanted to bark "OF COURSE THERE IS. We STILL don't know WHAT the problem is and it didn't FIX itself last night while you were sleeping!"
but i calmly let her ask her questions, gave curt answers, and then proceeded to cut her off with "i really can't talk right now. i have things to do" once she started to tell me about her day yesterday. learning to say no. step one.
hurried my ass to school for a meeting that isn't till NEXT monday at 9:30 am. right. made coffee. got annoyed by chatter in my office. went to the library for the entire morning to calm the hell down. came back to eat my lunch in the office and read the new paper i'd found, only to realise that it's the "right wing alternative" to the regular school paper. lame ass and horribly written.
oh my momma told me... there'd be days like this. apparently it's not so horrible if you have someone to laugh about it with. whew. :)
