The Stars Are Once Again Aligned
By The Misfit | January 26, 2010
So, I missed getting the plague that was going around the Misfit household.
But I did manage to overdo it over the weekend. I had the chance to go hang out with an old friend of mine and even though I was tired and should have taken a nap before I went, I didn’t. Had a great time catching up, but did I ever pay for it on Sunday.
I rarely cry. Well, I rarely cry over stupid things (unless it’s one of those stupid Hallmark commercials, then all bets are off). When I woke up Sunday morning, I was irritated because one of our neighbors lets her cats roam the neighborhood and it gets Dorian all sorts of bent out of shape, which drives me insane because it usually means he’ll be planning an attempted escape over the next week or so. Thankfully, he never gets farther than the front walk, but still. Anyway, I was irritated about it and actually started crying which, out of all the mundane things to get all weepy about, this rates pretty low on the list. I should have recognized it for what it was and crawled back into bed, but I’d skipped church for two weeks and was feeling kind of guilty. By the time church was over I felt like I did on Christmas Eve, just run down and exhausted and icky. So I came home, spent the rest of the day lying around and watching movies.
Yesterday was better, but I was still kind of tired, and today I’m apparently back in form. When I went to the post office to mail a package the USPS guy told me I couldn’t mail it first class with delivery confirmation because it was too big. Never mind the fact that I’ve mailed these same size envelopes with delivery confirmation a number of times previously with no problem. And he tried to upsell me on priority mail.
So, how do I know I’m back in form?
Because I felt an intense urge to reach across the counter and wrap my hands around his neck for treating me like an idiot.
It’s a good thing I’ve learned a bit of restraint.
