Two days that should end in beer, but won't

[stregalunae]

Reasons why the past two days should really be ending with beer:

• I will not be Teaching for Ameria
• I am once again single
• Birdy has lost her shoes twice - making us late both times
• It's that time of the month, and I didn't realize it until I needed new pants - at work
• I therefore had to take an hour off of work (joy... more money gone) to buy new pants
• I didn't get to stop off for fancy coffee to make myself feel better
• At the tail end of grocery shopping I discovered that my food stamps haven't kicked in yet
• To add to the embarrassment of having to walk away from groceries -
• Birdy started bawling because Mommy couldn't buy her the special milk (have you ever had to apologize to a child because you COULDN'T get them something you promised?)
• Dinner is an hour late because I didn't get to make the quick thing I was trying to pick up at the store

On the other hand

• I have new jeans - although they seem a little big
• Birdy was excited to see me
• I wrote a song

So, as I found inspiration in a strange place... anyone have a guitar they don't play? Guitars prefer to be played, I don't have one, and I really want to get my chops back so I can perform this thing (eventually... don't expect the great guitar riffs for a few months)
