Less than 30 minutes until Survivor! Gotta write fast!
Today I've been struggling with frustration. I think mostly due to being hangry.
> Got candy at work...Mounds bar today (I LOVE THOSE!) that says something grateful for employee appreciation...is it a week? I've been getting candy every day all week. So, on the one hand I got CANDY!!! And thank you notes!!! On the other hand I'm on a 1,200 calorie/day diet and this is seriously fucking with that since I have a severe weakness for sugar and chocolate and little self control. I need employee appreciation week to end to save me from myself! I'm not doing so well on my diet. The Mounds bar has been eaten.
> I went to 5 department stores today. It's, like, 8 degrees out and windy. 5 department stores!!! Why? I want to get my daughter a double boiler and preferred to actually handle the product first to make sure the bottom sauce pan has a heavy, solid base. This is important for how we use it! Well, out of the 5 stores I ran in and out of today, 1 carried one. And it was for twice as much as I had budgeted to spend. It wasn't that special. So after freezing my butt off I had to finally admit defeat and order my fall back option on-line.
> By the time I got to Walmart (last stop, except for Taco John's - yeah I'm killing my diet today BIG TIME) my hair was doing some serious static shit so I dug in my purse, found a pony tail holder and mashed one up on the top of my head. My hair is not long. This isn't the best look. I also left my blue aviators on. People commented. I told them I was tired of changing glasses. They are spectacular glasses but people probably aren't used to looking in blue reflective lenses in the check out.
> After not finding the pot I wanted, I shopped for a birthday card and found out they are only slightly amusing if you like to talk about getting drunk, poop, running around naked or sagging boobs for your birthday. Sorry but not what I want to give to my daughter! The lack of imagination in greeting cards is disgusting in recent years.
> I blew my diet. I went to Taco John's (it's near WM and I was so hungry I was wanting to bite people, not go home and cook something up) and got a burrito. It was damned good! Plus I had my last diet Mountain Dew. In fact I'm still nursing it now. I'm going off the diet pop in an effort to be healthier. I'd be lying if I said I was happy to be doing this.
> I get home to find I need to shovel again. It's garbage day tomorrow. And I've decided I don't care. I'm not going to shovel and I'm not going to take my garbage out to the street. It's too freaking cold and I'm hungry so the whole thing can just piss off! I'll wait for the thaw on Friday. People just have to walk thru it for another day.
> I was gifted with a pail of heaping garbage by my sink when I arrived in my kitchen with my groceries. Unexpected gift! So thoughtful! I decided to feed myself first to calm my hangry nerves and then deal with it. I decided to dump it all into a bigger bag. In doing so I spilled it all over the floor. I'm inept with bag transference.
I've had worse days but I'm feeling a bit pissy so felt compelled to write. Time to go watch Survivor.
Here's a gratuitous picture of Bill Murray. Enjoy!
