Tuesday night is for kvetching

[scarlettina]

It's cold.

My left hand hurts, and I seem to have injured myself such that I have a hard time exerting pressure with my pointer and middle fingers; it hurts into my wrist. Ow.

I didn't have enough time to myself this evening and now it's 10:15 and I have to go to bed, get up, and do this all over again tomorrow.

I haven't had enough cuddle time with the cats.

I really need to have the brakes in my car done and I have no time for this. Similar statements may be made about certain plumbing issues in the house. I also should, at some point, just have all the windows in this place replaced. Seals are broken everywhere. See above re: cold.

I'm tired. This car smells funny. He's touching me. Are we there yet?

We have high winds here that are keeping us awake. The cats say, "Screw cuddling, we're hiding under the bed."

Well, last night was the first in a couple of weeks that Spanky decided it was OK to cuddle at bedtime. It used to be the ritual, but lately he has been unwilling to cuddle. I'm not sure what was going on, but last night ended up being a pleasant change. It was comforting.

Huh. It's upsetting when cats change their habits.

Brakes

If it's a question of time, we may be able to loan you some next week.

Thanks. :-) My current plan is for Saturday the 11th to be Brake Day. It means getting over to the repair place early enough, and if I plan it and am firm in my resolve, then it should be fine. I piled too many commitments upon myself this weekend. I'm just annoyed with myself, is all.

Honestly, things aren't that bad. I just felt like kvetching last night. Wasn't looking for sympathy so much as an outlet. I will admit that this hand thing has me a little worried; I'm hoping it's just my first post-breakage winter affecting the hand I broke. It's painful, though. I guess I ought to use my health insurance. That might be smart.

Sympathies.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

I appreciate the sympathy, Michael, but as I said to herself_nyc above, things aren't really that bad in the grand scheme. Mostly, my hand hurt, and it made everything else more irritating. I ought to do something about the hand, though.

*HUGGLES* Pain magnifies every other irritation. Take care of the hand, count your blessings, cut yourself some slack.

If that doesn't work, then pamper your inner martyr.
