the ONLY thing i miss

I really miss my attached bathroom.

Having a huge house with beautiful wood floors, three porches of various kinds, a garage and a driveway, a finished attic, an enormous basement, new furnace and ac, 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths, and I miss my attached bathroom from our crummy, little, all-dingy-white, three room apartment. Seriously, though. There is no curtain on the window in the hall I have to cross from my new bathroom to my bedroom and I don't have a bathrobe. You get the (disturbing) picture. Every day I pray that the house next door has it's blinds shut again. And then I run.

of all places...

So, yesterday was not a good day for me. It was Joel's moped night, so he was gone. And I am not going to unpack more boxes when I am cranky, tired, depressed, and in pain. So, I sat down to watch like 5 Baby Stories (thanks tivo!) and The Wedding Singer (again, tivo? all my love!). Meanwhile I ate a large bowl of Eggo waffle cereal and an ice cream sandwich (thanks Josh!). But that is not really part of this story. Going on.

One of our cats, Pseudo, has a hocking problem. We think he eats his food too fast and his stomach gets upset. Ugh. So, Julia's on tv spilling her guts to her mom in her crisis moment and I hear the telltale gurgles. Eww. Of course the cat is over THE ONLY RUG CURRENTLY SET UP IN THE HOUSE. So, I yell at him to get off, running wildly at him, and perhaps there was a little cursing. (Under my breath, of course...) Stupid cat jumps on a chair and lets it rip. Sigh...

Why is it that he ALWAYS has to find the ONLY carpet to hock on? It's a BRAND NEW jute rug. I can't throw this giant rug in the washer or anything. And I couldn't get all the wet mooshy pieces out of it. So, I had to drag it to the sink (I was in a VERY bad mood) and rinse it off.

And there it sits this morning. Because my absent at that time husband will be taking care of it.

ugly day

I'm having an ugly day.
1. My outfit is SUPPOSED to be cute. It is not FEELING cute.
2. I have zits trying to make their way onto my forehead. Eww.
3. My newly cut hair is NOT behaving. Why can't you flip where I want you to?
4. I am feeling fat.

In addition:
1. I have a headache for some unknown reason.
2. I want coffee and probably will not get any.
3. Getting coffee would make me feel fatter.
4. I do not want to be at work today.

All these things make me feel ugly today. Ugh.
