Uh Huh

"Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness."
- Richard Carlson

You know how eyes sometimes get fully blood shot if you were to throw up hard or grunt from pressure?! I'm pretty sure at any moment that that is going to happen to one of my eyes, if not both from the stress that I am feeling today. I know that today is my "week" but c'mon. If I'm not bloated and five pounds heavier by my weigh-in I'll eat my Sharpie marker.

This morning started off with the anticipation that I would FINALLY, be receiving my door (bedroom) that we have been missing since we moved into our apartment. I ran into the gent whom takes care of our apartment building last Friday and he promised once again that he would be here Monday morning. Today was the second day that I have changed plans to make sure that I was here. 

By ten, when he was not here I called his home, received his mobile number and phoned. There was no memory of me and what I needed which followed by promises that it would happen...SOONER or LATER, then the conversation turned to my crappy luck with someone in the building turning off my laundry. At this moment in time all I cared about what my door. Not that my laundry gets stopped, the cat turd in the hall or the gross sanitary pad I had the displeasure of touching by accident, I was concerned and longing for my bedroom door. Gone are the days I can leave clothes on the floor with no fear that someone will see my ugly underwear. Needless to say that by the end of the conversation my temper was flaring a touch and we've (Trevor and I) have almost hit the point that we are done with this place. Thought will have to go into the choice of moving or not. We want to be somewhere that we will be happy until we have our OWN home. Right now, this isn't working. I want it to work...desperately, I hate moving but......ugh!

I did however have a wonderful workout this morning (which felt good) followed by a drive and lunch. Another peaceful moment of delight was when I opened my mailbox and my gypsy head wraps finally came. Thank goodness for the small successes in life.

After returning home though and checking my BB and email...I received an email from the person I am suppose to have my meeting with in the middle of the week. They want to change it, again. So either it will happen Tuesday, Thursday or with the way things have been going, never. This just confirms that I shouldn't get my hopes up and take this all one step at a time. Things change quickly, some people are on the ball and some people aren't. I guess I need to go shopping tonight for some shoes.

This all goes to show that you never know what life is going to throw at you. At the moment all this is, is making me want to throw up.  I didn't know that I was engaged in the longest running dodge ball game in history.
I know I'm worth waiting for, are they?
