You know that children's book that starts out, "I went to bed with gum in my mouth and I woke up with gum in my hair?"
That's the kind of day today was. The kind of day where I wake up tired and vaguely stressed over work and politics. No real reason for stress either, mind you.
And then I forgot to pack a lunch. So I ate some soup that was leftover from my lunch yesterday. And then at 6:00pm, I realized that I had an appointment after work and I also had forgotten to pack a dinner and also that now if I stopped to get dinner, I'd be late. So, I went without.
I finally came home tonight around 10pm, starving, exhausted, and a totally wreck.
And now I've eaten, and decompressed a little, but I still feel largely like this day has thumped me flat on my back.
And all I want to do is crawl under the covers and go to bed, but predictably, I have stuff that needs doing. Ah well.

Sorry you had a sucky day, Arduous! If I were in LA, I'd take you out for a beer.
What are you doing in two weeks? ;)
I pulled an Alexander day also (one of my children's favorite books). First my dog got sprayed by a skunk (so my house smells so). Then a friend called to tell me that she put her dog down (had her for 10 years) because she bit her toddler (bad in every way). My pre-schooler school called to tell me that my 3-year old had a huge fall (not quite ER bad). Finally my contract work is hitting a serious snag. And it is only 4:30 in the afternoon.
And I am worried that my candidate isn't going to make it.
But tomorrow will be another day! Everyday is potentially a great day! Even in Australia.
wow, that sounds suckful. I hope today was better.
It took me three full hours to get home tonight. F'ing snow.
