Ugh Day

Yesterday was Ughhhh... but 2010 has been stellar so far for the MOST part so I guess I was due for an UGH day. In the morning, my mom called me and got on my nerves; then at work I had to get IT to upgrade my computer to the new Adobe Flash 15 minutes AFTER I needed it (online web meeting); then J. was at my house to finish painting as well as be there for UPS's delivery of my wine.com purchase but the driver guy didn't knock on the door according to her so now I gotta go pick it up at the UPS store tomorrow; then we had our High-spanic Health Coalition board meeting at the president's house who fortunately lives right near me but it ran an HOUR over 'til 8:30 b/c it was 10 women who just yakked and yakked and yakked so when it was over I raced to the park for my run but the park was completely deserted and I thought it unwise to run in an empty park (armed or not, I just don't need the hassle of having to kill someone if I can avoid it); so I decided to salvage the night by running to Home Depot 10 min. before they closed to buy a new toilet seat so J. could install it today and when I got home found that I'd bought the wrong damn size...

So while home I decided to FINALLY vacuum the upstairs after it's only needed to be done for over a month now and also go through some papers in the file cabinet so it can be moved upstairs and I was recycling and purging when I found a drawing made by S's daughter for me of a mermaid that said "I love you today" and it really got to me. No tears fell but I was tempted and yes, definitely got a little choked up. And I was alone and there was no one I could talk to about it that would understand. Also my chin is badly broken out and has been for over a week now and last night I had to resort to popping a Minocycline, the medication that got me so incredibly sick early last year (loss of appetite and dizziness) so obviously I was feeling desperate. I couldn't even drink a drop of booze last night though the box wine was calling to me, b/c I didn't want the calories since I couldn't get my damn run in.

Today I have a long ass day of my 2 jobs and then rehearsal tonight. But I should be getting the rough mix of the CD so that'll be fun and good to listen to, though we do have to go back in the studio and re-record 2 songs. I have a rainy-weather-induced headache and had to go mail off some more documents to my attorney. I haven't heard from DA today at all and don't know what's up w/him, though we spoke for a long time last night before I went to bed. Fortunately Stefano called me a little while ago and totally made me smile like he always does, the sweetheart! I am also pretty--make that VERY--upset b/c I changed my W-4 at Job #1 to reflect that I am now "single" and my paycheck tomorrow is a shocking $83 less and I am freaking out just a bit about that. I have been praying to Jesus all day, honestly, to get me through today.
