i, yet again, in a totally Office Space fashion, had yet another 'worst day of my life' yesterday. Work sucked in a huge way. and then i got a call from Myste saying that they would be home very late and could she just drop Roni off when she got in. After a discussion we agreed that Roni could simply spend the night and i called Mom to cancel dinner with them since i wouldn't have Roni.
So, there i was all angry and depressed and no outlet but, thankfully, no Roni, either. i hate when i'm bitchy and she has to put up with it.
i did it.
i went shopping.
i know, it's a 'girly' thing to do you think, right? Well, i have known many men who buy things like cars, motorcycles and hookers when they're upset and all i bought was clothes and music, so there!
i went for the music fix first ~ i found Poe's Haunted, Elton John's Madman Across the Water, and Jackson Browne's Late For The Sky all on sale. There were so many more i wanted so it helped a little but was not a total fix. i moved on to clothes. We are trying to finish up all the steps to making the Operations department management and i have to buy pants to wear since the jeans will be out. Black palazzo pants and a black top (you can NEVER have too much black in your wardrobe!) and i looked at small silver bands to replace my wedding band but they didn't have any i liked.
So, now i had new music and new clothes and all on sale and so i did well and it was time to go home and bake something! And clean! So, i made 2 quiches and did the dishes and contemplated re-alphabetizing my CDs, but decided not to and i slept. The adrenaline had worn off and the new music glow had set in and i was tired. Unfortunately, i had horrid dreams and someone kept ringing my doorbell. i don't have a doorbell. i kept waking up to answer the no-existent doorbell. Then, my alarm clock didn't go off . . . that i remember. Oh, well, i was not late.
