I'm not a big doctor person (yeah, I know how dumb that sounds). But esp with something like an allergic reaction where you know it eventually clears up on its own--going in just seems like a waste of money and time. But SO and my grad school friends told me not to mess around with my face and made it seem like such a big deal that I go in. So here I sit - waiting two hours in the clinic. I'm grumpy and I want to blame everyone else for that.
I'm at a bookstore trying to get work done, and there are four unsupervised young children (probably 5 or 6) running rampant while Mom is across the room chit chatting with three other adult women. They are yelling, pushing chairs around, flipping cups off the table, running into people and actually knocked my laptop bag off the chair next to me. The most Mom has done is come over and tell them sweetly to stop because "That isn't nice." This has been going on for over 30 min. and is making me ragey. This is not a place to take kids and not supervise them. If my kids were acting this way, they'd be getting disciplined and I'd probably take them and just leave.
I have way too much work to reasonably get done before my out of town guests arrive this Wednesday. Even if I stay up all night tonight, I have no idea how I will get away with taking the rest of this week "off." Crap.
I could definitely live without the AC in my office being on, given that it is 55 degrees outside and such.
amoosed, I fantasize about the day that we have laundry in our apartment too. (Although we're very lucky to have laundry on our floor at least... that's a huge improvement over my prior 2 apartments).
Last night our smoke detector was going off so DH turned on the ceiling fan in our living room. We are on the top floor of our apartment so it has raised ceilings.
Now it is freezing and when I flip the light switch, the fan blows full blast. I can't reach the switch, even with a ladder, and it is way too cold for that shit! So I'm just sitting here in the dark.

The filter in the furnace fell (it doesn't look like it got put in the holder) I can't get it out. I can't turn on the heat as it smells like something is burning. It is 62 F inside. I'm freezing. I did find a space heater, but it isn't helping too much.
I need to give the dog a bath before her surgery tomorrow, it's too cold.
I am just burnt out on work right now. I am counting down the days to vacation and am mostly packed, but it isn't enough. I toyed with calling out sick this week, but I hate doing that because it disrupts so many people.
I've got a boatload of work to get done and sick 5 year old who just wants to snuggle with mommy. Poor kiddo...I have a feeling it's going to be a late night for my tired, cranky, first trimester self.
I've been starting to fantasize about a washer and dryer of my very own.
Me too.
I had 3 hours to do laundry before work. I put 3 loads in and came back 30 minutes later to switch them over. The door was locked. And apparently our apartment managers decided today was the day to take a 2 hour lunch break and maintenance wouldn't answer the phone to come unlock the door. They show up 15 minutes after they said they would be back and I had 15 minutes to try and hang everything up to dry since I don't have time to use the dryer. Urg.
We flew today. A direct flight from Denver home. Things went reasonably well, and yet? I don't know when my next flight is, but I can tell you it is TOO EFFING SOON!
I haven't had a day off since LAST weekend. And I won't have a full day off for like 8 more days. And we had a festival this weekend and I'm exhausted.
But I damn well pay someone to do my laundry. Boo ya.
also I have the allergen narrowed down to 17 possible chemicals with five "very likely" contributors (original list had 23 chemicals). lol. I need to stop obsessing over this and do work.
The umps in our softball league piss me off. I'm running from 2nd to 3rd (forced run) and the shortstop is standing in the baseline. Someone throws her the ball so she'd have to tag me or throw it to the 3rd baseman. She decides to try to tag me, I avoid her and make it to 3rd. But I'm called out b/c I left the baseline.
Soooo...I'm out if I run into her (b/c it's the runners job to avoid collision), I'm out if I leave the baseline, I'm out if she tags me, I'm out if she throws it to the 3rd baseman. WTF??
Next time I'm going to lead with my hands and push her ass out the way.

OMG, I'm about to pull my hair out trying to order crap from Target's website. I have been looking and adding things to my cart and it isn't showing half the stuff. Then I get an error loading the page when I try to view my cart. I just want to order some stupid kid's shoes. Its tough enough figuring out what shoes to get and then I have to re-pick them because the website is f'ed up. URGH.

I am going to throw my computer out the window. I feel like I've done nothing today, but now that I am trying to work so I can get home, word is crashing and everything is sooooooo sllllooooow. I finally gave in and did a restart and 5 mins later it is still booting up. I am about to scream.
I took a 3 hour nap today and I am still exhausted. DH is a computer genius and that means friends give him their laptops to fix on a regular basis. We currently have 4 laptops under the coffee table he is working on. The cords all over the place annoy me. I am hormonal and bitchy. I want ice cream but am to lazy to go get some.
I just got 2 tickets. The streets here are so confusing. Apparently a sign that says detour doesn't actually mean that it is a detour, it means it is a restricted road for commercial vehicles. I couldn't find my registration in the moment of being pulled over (found it in the glove box once I was home), so that was another ticket. The guy was such an ass, too.
