I Used A Lot of Quotation Marks in this Post

Well, today didn’t play out like I thought it would, but that’s okay. Not necessarily good or bad, just boringly unexpected.

I didn’t get nearly as much work done in our downstairs bedroom as I wanted too but I did get quite a bit done before I halted all operations for a mandatory nap. I just could NOT work any longer…my body gave out and I listened. I slept from like 10-12 which was awesome because I got like four hours of sleep last night.

When I got up I went to the grocery store to pick up items for dinner tonight which is spaghetti. I have been craving spaghetti with “shake cheese”, as Alicia calls it. Then it was off to Target to pick up an oscillating fan for the new bedroom. Of course I wandered around Target aimlessly for an hour because I’m a marketers wet dream: I have to touch and feel and read and pick up every promotional item out there and then debate whether or not I need it. I “needed” some Scrubbing Bubbles and two cat scratching posts with organic catnip and some Stride Gum. My willpower held out for cosmetics, hair products and bath products as I’m currently on a buying strike. Folks, I seriously have too many cosmetics and toiletries.

So yea, when I got home I had to put together the fan and I am just not a “some assembly required” type of girl. In my experience the word “some” in regards to assembly always means “a lot of cursing and frustration” and it held true in this case. I won’t even get into all the boring details but the instruction manual stated it would take 10-15 minutes and it took me more like 45. It works, it blows, it’s cool, whatever.

By this time it’s 3:30 and I just figure it’s a lost cause to do anymore on the bedroom plus I’m tired, just tired and I don’t want to do it anyway. So I don’t. There’s always tomorrow!

I forgot to mention that when I peed for like the 89^th time this afternoon when I went to flush the toilet the handle just fell right off and onto the floor. I stood there thinking “What?!? Did that really just happen? I know how to flush the toilet manually but it completely baffled me that this would happen. And why it would happen when we just moved upstairs and I have to pee every 15 minutes is the at the height of all irony and I’m kinda done laughing now.
