The Good, The Bad, The Annoying

April 9, 2008 – 10:17 pm

This cold is feeding on my sleep, my ability to breathe, my sense of taste and smell, and my creativity.  Also, it is leaving me quite irritable (or perhaps that was my lack of sleep making me irritable). So . . . because it is late and I still need to shower before going to bed, here is a list of things that irritated me today. Oh, I have such a cheery blog!

In no particular order::  

~ Asshole decided to merge without looking or using his blinker on 500 tonight. Thank goodness I actually hit my horn, long and hard at him.

~ Driver who didn’t use his blinker on 112th tonight.

~ A classmate who’s been enrolled longer than me but attends school so seldom  she feels that she can ask anyone to instruct her on how to do things.

~ Same classmate who lumps me into her (mid-40’s) age group because I am a handful of years older than a number of our classmates.

~ Same classmate thinking that I should ditch any birthday plans for my own celebration to celebrate someone else’s birthday instead.

~ Tickle in my throat that forced me to run to the bathroom in nearly a drive heave. They always flare up when I get sick.

~ Mike crushing my ailing hydrangea plant with the laundry room blinds today

~ Egg pot of Marigolds only sprouting one single plant.

~ Lack of ability to taste my homemade macaroni and cheese

~ Cheesy early 1990’s special effects in "Total Recall"

~ Sore throat keeping me awake until nearly 4 am

~ Evening flying by too quickly

~ Inability to breathe from one nostril, which chose to jump back and forth between both sides

~ Random neighbor’s car alarm which keeps going off.

~ Purposely misspelled words in an attempt to be cute.  Come on . . . use your letters correctly!

But because the entire day couldn’t be bad -

Highlights of the day::
