Pulling The Blanket Up Over My Head

[ladysprite]

I have been trying all day to be cheerful and pleasant and maintain a positive outlook, and to be productive and hardworking and get stuff done.

I give up.

I am, as of now, curling up on the sofa in a little ball and pulling an afghan over myself. I am ditching my cooking plans for the night and ordering out instead. I am not going to do laundry, or clean the living room, or work out, or compose business letters, or anything. For once, I am going to slack the hell off. I'm not doing anyone else's work. And my work can all wait for a day.

I am going to lie here, and read stupid stuff on the internet, and maybe watch cheesy dance television, and play Nethack, and generally be a waste of carbon until I am tired enough to fall asleep without having nightmares.

Tomorrow I'll be good again. Tonight.... no.

Wow, it sounds like you've had a truly awful day. (I sympathize; mine has sucked pretty badly too.) I hope you get all the cheesy dance television and Nethack that you need. Sometimes an evening like that is the best option.

Oh, boo - I'm sorry you had a miserable day, too.

Mine involved getting bitten by a pregnant chihuahua, at the end of a workday that involved 4 doctors and 2 techs, and one of the receptionists deciding to just go home an hour into her shift. I need the schadenfreude of watching Pamela Anderson dance the mambo if I'm going to make it through the rest of the week. :)

Any good stories about your day, at least?

Aw crud! I hope the bite isn't too bad. 4 to 2 is a TERRIBLE ratio. Ugh. Maybe Pamela Anderson should have to dance the mambo in shoes with capsaicin soaked into them.

My day mainly involves the dawning horror of the fact that my e-mail has been flaky for the past three weeks, and therefore one college transfer application, one possible summer school registration, and my taxes are ALL now completely hosed. (And here I was just figuring everybody including my accountant was really bad at replying to queries. Wrong.)

At least I can get an extension on the taxes. The transfer app is probably toast. *sigh*

But I didn't get bitten today. Also didn't need to send "a sample" to the county for rabies testing (I hate hate hate that one). These are both good things.

Abdicating from the world for an evening is sometimes just what's needed. Hope you feel better of the morrow.

Hah. No one is obligated to be "on" all the time, and for some days, curling up in a ball is the right option.

Good for you!

[evcelt.livejournal.com]

I understand. Sometimes you need that. Hope it is enjoyable and therapeutic.

Feel better!

(And give a holler when you've got time for hanging out; the weather looks to be improving on a nearly day-to-day basis.)

I'm free Friday if you are - and in a much better mood, after a night off....

[metaphysick.livejournal.com]

Friday it is!

I'm in your neighborhood at around 10 AM for an appointment, which I figure will let out sometime between 10:30 and 11. I could give a call when my appointment lets out (or just drop by, if that's more convenient...)

[ladysprite.livejournal.com]

Call or drop by, either one's fine. We can wander around and get lunch....

Hope the recharging of batteries succeeded and the next days be kinder.
