I Could Have Done Without Today

Long title?  Yes.  Worth it?  Probably.

I seriously could have skipped today and not missed much.  Not at work, just life in general.

First of all, I almost poured straight sugar into my cereal bowl, instead of cereal.  This is why I need coffee.

Then, I go out to my car to find it unlocked and that someone has gone through my glove box.  Now, my thoughts go something like this: "Did I leave my car unlocked last night?  Well, at least it's still here."  I don't keep anything super important in my car.  I don't keep cast there, and no electronics.  But still.  Not a great way to start my morning.  Then, I wonder if I've locked my front door.  So I run back and check it, only to almost be late to work.

Get to work, and I can't get anything done because everyone keeps asking me questions, or the doorbell is ringing and I'm the only one who believes in answering it.  Stressful morning.  Then, I go run errands and the train comes.  I don't know what city planner decided it would be awesome to have a train go right through downtown, but I want to kill them.

The 10 minutes I spent waiting were actually good, because until that point I just wanted to punch strangers for the sole reason that they crossed my line of vision.  After the train passed, that urge was gone.  Alone time is good.

Then I got stuck in all kinds of traffic while shopping, ran late, and to top it all off, they're doing street cleaning tomorrow morning for the 4 blocks around my apartment.  And there was no where to park.  So, I'm going to get up early and do...something tomorrow morning so that I can move my car before it gets towed at 7:30 in the morning so that I could park ANYWHERE near my apartment.

The upside?  I came home and Devin was making mac & cheese.  Life is better.
