Oh Yuck, or How Plans Go Astray

Today was simple, errands, cook a meal, then get to writing.  Well, I got home and discovered the toilet and tub was backing up.  That's all you need to know about that.  Needless to say, I turned my back to call the apt manager, and went back into the bathroom and the toilet overflowed.

Maintenance came by and a plumber was called.  Apparently someone put baby wipes down their commode and clogged the system, causing my toilet and tub to back up.  Was disgusted as this seem to take forever to resolve.  Tried to mop up, and put a towel down to soak up the water as well.  It was a mess.  While waiting for the plumbers it overflowed again.

Because the overflow could affect the entire house, I couldn't even clean the kitchen for fear the dishes would get that nasty water coating them.  I dunno if buring dishes is allowed but I dunno if I'd want my china after they've been emerged in such filth. I was so frustrated I really was ready to give out.

I was so upset I didn't eat a meal until 7:00 PM.  yeah it sounds stupid, but it took nearly all day to resolve this nasty ass caper.  I still have to properly was the floor mats cause I can't put them back on the floor like that.  Also my poor sweet towel deserved better.  

I cleaned the bathroom and will re-clean it again. Can't get back into the tub until I feel it's cleansed.  Yes that sounds OCD, but I don't care.  Nasty ass shit was literally in my tub.

I found myself playing Dragon Age II until I was bored of it and began blogging this post.

The Warm Ups

I promised myself at least an hour a day to write, and that means mapping out time to work on my various writing projects.  Naturally this means looking at my blog, and putting down a post today.

Woke up early because my body didn't want to sleep and I went to bed early.  I was tired.  Couldn't help it.  Once I laid on that bed it was over.  I haven't been at Starbucks for the lattes and frappichinos like I used to do on the regular.  I didn't even make coffee yesterday.

Now that I'm up and  about, and ran errands, I seem to be sleepy again.  Technically I allow myself until 12:00 PM to loaf about.  We shall see what I get done.

Self

Been looking for better ways to spend my time and thoughts, and I need to get to business.  before my next birthday arrives I need to lock down some writing and finances like a champ.  Ain't nothing bad  that i can't fix, but I need to make sure I'm doing the right thing for myself.  Self-evaluations are tough, but I never knew anything I wanted to be easy.

Should write more blog posts. Its a new month.

Happy Labor Day!

My Thursday With Maury

Last week I found out that my brake lights were completely out. A driver was kind enough to pull up to me and let me know.  I was embarrassed.  They were BOTH out.  Driving like that can be a nightmare.  I needed this handled ASAP!

For my piece of mind, the remedy meant a visit to Pep Boys and having to wait while they service my ride.  I got up early so I could beat the crowd and get done quicker. I always think I'm being smart when in fact, the universe had other plans. The break room at Pep Boys was incredibly minimalistic, complete with some plastic chairs and a TV on none other than the Maury Povich show.  For those who have never seen it, count yourself blessed by the grace of the Lord.  I was more than positive I didn't need to see another DNA test show ever in my life.  The guests were ridiculous, loud, and ignorant.    

I found myself, in spite of my headphones hearing all that garbage that goes onto the show.  I was not happy.  Another hour passed and there was this reality show on.  Didn't give a damn what it was about.  All I know is that people were cussing and yelling at each other.  It was annoying and I kept my headphones going.  At this point the chairs was hurting my ass, and I really needed to be done.  Finally Judge Joe Brown was on, and I needed to get outta there.

OMG it took forever for them to ring me up.  I didn't even care.  I knew I was gonna have some time management crunches to get some food, and get ready for work. Any day that I start with Maury really is a hurtful day. Guess what?  I endured.  It was a crappy, crappy set of time waiting for my ride to be repaired. I LOATHED the moments that came along.  I made it through. 

I have to be honest.  Having to sit through Maury and the waiting turned me off 100%.
