My day off was somewhat comical. Somewhat frustrating. Somewhat perfectly delightful and relaxing.
I meant to get up early....
Yeah, funny. But I had lots of chores to get done on my only day off!
Yay for beautiful blue skies on your morning off, Ugh, blah for cramps on your day off...must go back to sleep!
Woke at 8. Then again at 10. Set the alarm for 10:50, got up at 1pm. Practiced NOT clenching my teeth- Yay! Leave it to me to have to break a habit I've formed WHILE UNCONSCIOUS!! Ugh.
Took as shower and shaved, and sugar scrubbed and shay buttered, as I planned to go to YOGA and wear a tank top, yay for feeling good!
Drove to Planned Parenthood to buy pills- Yay for no creepy guy praying outside this time! Blah, for generic pills that always make me feel like I'm getting third world meds. I saved enough to buy TWO whole packs this time!
Yay for a pretty day to be out, blah for traffic cause everyone else is coming home from work.
Yay for finding a card for my mom, that I already had, blah, I forgot to go get the other 4 that I need to send out!
Yay for gathering my sister's family's gifts that I need to send today...UGH! I can't find her gift!!! No point in going to send their other stuff without her special gift inside! GRRRRrrrr.
Yay for finally going to the little art shop down the street to look at paintings in frames before they go out of business. Blah for them closing early, but I stood looking in sadly for a while. All the paintings look too big to ship to my sister for her birthday anyway.
Yay for remembering to go to the bank to deposit a small amount of cash. Oops, missed them by 4 minutes, thought they were open for another hour. :(
Yay for organizing and going to get the rugs out of my car. Grrrrr, can't find the key for it! It isn't running right now, and I'm sure the key is on my desk, I remember putting it there....look and look, organize and clean...still can't find it. Ugh, I'll walk around on cold hardwoods again tonight.
Go to Yoga-YAY- but argue before I leave. Remind myself to stay calm, smile, breathe. I'm only being hypersensitive because of PMS. Get dreadfully lost on the way to yoga- BAD. Have you ever walked into a yoga class late??? Trust me when I say, it isn't appreciated!
The class was fabulous and I felt healthy, happy and rejuvenated afterwards and went to Whole Foods to buy some things I was craving for supper! But I only had $25 left. Yay for the only kind of salad dressing I wanted to be on sale! Yay for finding a tiny, cheaper chunk of cheddar! Yay for a sale on apples, it's okay that they aren't the kind I was going to get. Yay for fresh mozzarella and hummus! Can't afford the other stuff I wanted, but that's the way it goes, these days. But BLAH for still having to tell the cashier I don't have enough money, please take away my yummy yellow bell pepper and my delicious Orange juice that I'd been craving to go with my dinner, yeah, thanks for my two pennies change.
Yay for cleaning my kitchen, and getting my lunch ready for tomorrow, and doing SOME dishes, and making the corn bread muffins I've been craving for desert. Blah for breaking both the yokes on my over medium eggs and burning my wheat English muffins. Oh, well it was better than soup again.
Yay for getting a bit of phone time and an LJ post done, Blah for going to bed only 3 1/2 hours before I have to be on my feet working for 12!
Hope you all had a great day.
