Daily OM….G
Got up, got LD ready for school. No worries.
Was thinking about a quick nap and realized I wasn’t tired enough to take one. That’s good. (Thank you, Ambien.)
Decided to work on some promo pieces for the Moms Night Out event tonight. Uh, yeah. That sounds lots easier than it ended up being. Fine. Keep working on it. Call in help.
Notice new little dog across the way has taken up an especially high pitched yap yap yap yap yap yap that’s even more irritating than it was an hour ago. Consider finding out who owns the dog and doing something not so nice to them for leaving dog alone.
Get a couple loads of laundry started. The clothes practically slouched over all their own. Never a good sign. But laundry was started nevertheless.
Working on promo pieces again. They look okay via email, but then don’t look right in my editing software. Hmm. Try again. And again. And again. Again. Again. Againagainagainagainagain. Crap! This is weird. Considering computer possessed by some sort of ghost.
Go to switch laundry. Notice it’s pretty hot outside. Perhaps a dip in the pool and some pool exercises would help clear the head and make work a bit more pleasant.
Dog across the way is yapping even more. Even louder. I’m plugging my ears with a meat thermometer. Hurts less than the yapping.
Change into bathing suit, hunt down key to pool, grab towel, head to pool. Stick toe in water. Start cursing the genius who thought 40 degree water was a good idea. No pool for me. Ugh. Notice there’s some sort of film on my toes. Ewww!
Get back home, dip foot in basin of bleach. Pray whatever it is I got at the pool comes off. Change out of bathing suit, lament the heat, realize it’s probably for the best because there’s still much to be done.
Toes fallen off, I gingerly made my way back to the computer. I fixed my promo piece. I thought. Then I realized it sucked. Confirmation from reliable external source. Arrgh!
Yapping dog has reached new fevered pitch. Consider calling the human society. Landlord hasn’t done anything about it. Just want puppy to be happy. And owners not so much. But I’m not spiteful. No. I simply don’t like bleeding from my ears all that much.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly shrug, giving in to the fact that this is just not the way things were supposed to go today. And you know what? I’m okay with that. I’m alive. I have some clean laundry. I’ll take a nice cool shower. And I will meet up with some awesome ladies for a few hours of talk, laughter, food, and swag. That’s all that really matters.
As for the ghost in the machine? He’ll get his.
I hope you take lots of pictures tonight! More than that though, have a wonderful time. Sorry your day was rough… Again, have fun tonight!

After the crazy day I had, I was happy to spend the evening with lots of happy moms and one dad. I’ll post a few photos tomorrow. Right now, the back is aching and I’m catching up on emails, blog reading, and maybe doing a bit of writing.
