I was all set to write about how much I hate today. How my umbrella turned inside-out three times today, how I got an extra 5 hours of work dumped in my lap as soon as I walked in the door. How I burned my mouth on my "lunch" that I couldn't find time to eat until 4:30. How the weather sucks. How I totally forgot to do something kind of important on Friday and how I felt terribly guilty about it. How I spent 50 minutes sobbing and feeling more pissed off and frustrated than I thought it was humanly possible to ever feel.
But then I got word that my book, which I thought had to go to the printer the first week of June, actually doesn't have to go until July. Which is a huge relief, and means that I can absolutely take the last week of May off and go to California. (There's still a window for invitation retraction, but it's closing fast, just so you know.) I don't really have the money for it, but I have a shitload of credit, and I need to get out of this town for a while.
And then I started thinking about the other good things about today. My Cute Overload and Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! t-shirts arrived. I saw this picture today (scroll down). The thing I forgot to do Friday wasn't the end of the world (or my job), so whatever. It's May, and soon the weather will be fine, and I'll be able to plant my Morning Glories and nasturtiums and whatever else.
I give myself whiplash sometimes. It's really exhausting being me.
