dchenesI spent a lot of yesterday being angry and grumpy and stewing in emotions I didn't want to live with, so I applied a fairly stiff G&T after work and then stumbled onto a Reddit list of "silly things you've done because you had both hands full and your brain stopped working" and nearly laughed myself sick, and felt better. Apparently lots of people give human food to their dogs and eat the dog treats by accident, but my favorite one was "At the beach skipping rocks and eating a sandwich. Threw the sandwich and bit a rock."
The (identifiable) reason I was angry is that I resent people making it my job to do their jobs for them. If there's a reason, sure, but don't get angry at me for not doing your job without telling me why you want me to. I'm sure there are other reasons why I was angry, too, but that was the one I could put a name to.
Lily's supposed to get blood drawn next Tuesday and I'm trying to decide whether I want to hand off Lily in carrier and let Dr. P take her outside to do it in her SUV, or whether I want to bring Dr. P in here and do it in the bathroom. We would both be wearing masks, of course, but this is my own private biosphere here and as far as I know I haven't had any coronavirus in it. Decisions, decisions.
I'm glad it's sunny more often than not these days. It makes being stuck on the shady side of the apartment all morning a little more tolerable, and the cats come in to hang out and sunbathe when the sun gets over here. I don't mind if they want to hang out in the sun, as long as they don't want to hang out on the desk, which doesn't get direct sun anyway.
I seem to be having a terrible time getting through the laundry. It's not that there's a lot of laundry to be done, it's just that I seem to want to leave it wherever it is in the process (wet, in the washing machine, for two days, or downstairs in the dryer for a week). I don't know why that is. Maybe it's because I'm keeping up with things like showering and getting dressed and doing dishes.
