Day in the Life of an Idiot

 I'm in a fairly foul mood right now.  There's no real good reason for it. The only hassles that I've had this morning are that my favorite radio show host is on vacation and I do not like his replacement as well, AND my stupid car mechanic is too busy to take my car in today and now I'm going to have to bring it in on Tuesday when I HAVE PLANS WITH SOMEONE.  

None of this constitutes any kind of real crisis, but, you know how it is, right?  I'm just mad.

I think I'm also mad because I didn't get coffee until much later than I'm used to and that just threw everything into some kind of tailspin.

There are so many bigger problems out there than mine.  I think one of the solutions to my mood is to go outside and work on the garden in back. The only thing stopping me from doing that is that I have been annoyed by our garbage people because they have not picked up over two weeks worth of yard waste, despite the fact that I called them to do it, TWICE. (Apparently, they're coming Monday, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it.) What's especially annoying about that is that WE PAY FOR IT.  We pay a monthly fee whether or not _we_ use it, yet _they_ can't be bothered to actually provide the service when we _do_ use it.

GRRRRR.

I suggest standing a few feet from me today.

Unless sunshine cures me. I hope the sunshine cures me.
