Wow that's a long day. No good.

I am so spoiled that I woke up with a backache and was going to complain, then realized it hurt because I'd been sleeping in the same position for almost 12 hours. I had a headache last night and then for some reason just did not wake up this morning. Wtf body?

That said, I must recommend against seeing Best Man Holiday. Because it is not a super cute romantic comedy, it is depressing and makes you cry.

We don't have a lot of space, although more than in Manhattan MCFH, at just over 1000 sq.

You have used the acronym MCFH a couple of times, and even Googling it didn't help me figure out what it means. So I have to ask, what is it?

I called the Lane Bryant District Manager. She apologized for everything, especially the fact the manager acted so badly. I told her it was the only bad experience.

She's going to be there on Tuesday and said she'll talk to her face to face and coach her. And she's sending me more coupons.

I told her that I was up front about 1) having a bad day, 2) being picky and 3) being difficult and that she'd probably hear that I was a difficult customer.

And the District Manager said that shouldn't matter. Which it shouldn't.

Good on you, askye!

Dear MiL - If you would like to know if there are any plans for Emeline's birthday this weekend, maybe your call/IM/text/whatever should be TO HER PARENTS instead of your ex-husband.

Just saying.

Dear Self - Pay attention to the FB chat you're in. For instance, you might post a paraphrase of the above comment and forget your MiL was on the chat.

Ooops.

My Cat From Hell.

I am a weepy little Crankenstein today. I need to get out of the house and get what little sunlight there is today on my retinas. I'm mostly useless, but I've managed to do the one thing I really had to do, namely, calling a roofer, because -- hi, bonny! -- my roof also developed a leak in last night's storm. Now i have a drip in the upstairs hallway. It's undoubtedly worse in the attic, but there's nothing I could do up there anyway, so I'm not struggling to get myself up the ladder and see. They can't come until Monday, though, so let's hope there won't be any more heavy rain before then.

I picked the roofing company because of their name: Askew's.

The lady who answered the phone pronounced it "ASK-yous".

I am not cranky. Today. But I've gotten some stuff done and the office is closing early.

Just to show how stupid it's possible to be:

Yesterday morning the news radio was full of dire forecasts about the weather, the holiday traffic, how awful it was going to be. To do on-the-spot reports on the weather and traffic, a TV crew set up. Right where a major road feeds into I-95 (where, of course, much of the holiday traffic IS). They set up their super-bright lights. Just where anyone coming off the major road onto I-95 would be blinded by lights glaring into their eyes.

The traffic report had a notice that there was congestion and tie-ups right there.

oy

Aims... Oh boy. You have my sympathies.

I am personally not cranky on the grounds that I am rummaging through my collection of fabric scraps for things I can use to make a cute and/or pretty patch for an arm sling that someone at work wears. I'm making a mess for a good cause!
