tetchy

I'm feeling contrary today. Although most people would ask, "How can you tell the difference?"

I didn't sleep well. I woke up because I was too hot, then too cold, then too hot, then I was awake and managed to upset myself into thinking my search for a dentist is fruitless. So I got up and watched TV for an hour. When I returned, the window had been opened so there wasn't any question of being too hot anymore. But someone was breathing in my ear. I finally got back to sleep about 4am.

I got up for breakfast, when my SO said he was fine with cereal, I sat with him while he ate it (mostly asleep), then went back to bed. When I got up, I proceeded to cook myself lunch even though it was only 9am. I had a hamburger. It was rye bread, slice of giant tomato which filled the bread, hamburger (which had been frozen in the shape of the rye bread), slice of giant tomato, rye bread.

I said, "fuggit" to the laundry I have on my list and just spun yarn the rest of the morning while watching TV. This engendered an attitude improvement. But there are still some people I know who are completely silly.

I should vacuum. I should clean my blinds. I should shower so I can go to the gym and get all sweaty and need to shower again. At least there are leftovers so I don't have to come up with something to do for dinner.

{I need a new mood-icon set. These are really annoying. ETA: I changed from the semi-round "pastel smiley" set to the little white rabbit set. It's still annoying, but at least there aren't anti-aliasing issues.}

today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

Looking back on today yesterday, I accomplished a decent amount of stuff. Most of it was so far down on the priority list as to not quite count, but it sort of does.

I spun. A LOT. I knitted. A LOT. I went to the gym. There was food I made for us to eat. I helped someone today. I held my tongue over silliness.

I spent some time this evening looking at vacation choices. I really did like that Oyster.com site when I first looked at it. But apparently I managed to luck into the information I wanted. There's more detail about Hawaii hotels than almost anywhere else, and I happened to agree with their "best" rec. But tonight I looked at their Caribbean choices and damn, those all suck.

I looked at Las Vegas hotels too. I don't have any desire to see Las Vegas. But what I want in a holiday trip is to go somewhere luxurious where I don't have to cook breakfast and someone else will make my perfect cup of coffee. If you want to stay in a 5-star hotel, Las Vegas is a good option for pure value. But I also like things quiet and I want something interesting to do. There wasn't really anything that fits those ideas.

Today I vacuumed. Then I took the vacuum apart, extracted all the random thready crap that wrapped itself around the brush roller, and re-vacuumed the mess it made (after discarding the thready crap manually).

I was going to go to the gym, but vacuuming is athletic enough to count as long as I go somewhere outside.

I have laundry to do, but first I'm going to go out for lunch. Tomorrow I'm going out for breakfast because I have to drop off the car for service.

Using Slang Grammatically: If you abbreviate the noun before adding -(i)an to make it an adjective, it is, by common consensus, both pejorative and distancing. So I always spell out "Christian" and don't use "xian". I want the argument to be about my point and not about me calling them names. Even though I disrespect them and am avidly non-Christian. It applies to all nouns. People who are offended by your disrespect have no interest in discussing your point rationally. I certainly felt that way when I was disrespected this week.
