Thanks for the emails, IMs and phone calls...
I'm really ok, just a bit pissy/grumpy. I'll get over it. I really do appreciate knowing I have some palses out there in the ether. I haven't been sleeping so great lately (yeah, even worse than normal), so that's likely most of it. I'll perk up later.
Tried napping, gave up, got bored, grabbed a doggie and thought I would groom him. However....the one I grabbed was Hobbs, the Dummy Dog. Dummy is the biggest of the cresteds, which is likely why I grabbed him first. Dummy is a "hairless" which means that he only has an undercoat of hair in places, which looks a lot better if the dog is shaved. Firing up the shaver, I began removing the white wiry hair from the Dummy Dog. Things ended up with the hair being removed from the Dummy Dog and replaced onto the Dummy Human who was covered in white hair that doesn't really brush off easily. Oh looky, another task for me - laundry, cuz I was out of clothes and didn't want to be kicked out of wherever I go for shedding.
Then I found that happy fun AT&T is SO lame that it randomly gets just enough signal to let through an SMS or voicemail notification, but not enough to return said SMS or FETCH the voicemail :-). Gee, thanks AT&T.
Then I tried watching TV...power outage had put the DirecTV DVR into a funky mode stuck on a really horrid channel running a marathon of Stupid People Shoot Stupid Videos of Their Stupid Kids. *EUGH* That was just NOT acceptable. Luckily, a power cycle took care of it and now I can watch my afternoon STTNG while ignoring work related emails and anything that didn't have to do with more thought than it takes to chew gum.
I'm sure things will improve as the day goes on....
