is it Friday yet?
What a lousy evening… And an awful morning too…
Christopher went missing yesterday afternoon. Turns out he just stayed after school to get some work done, but he didn’t tell anyone that. So he was over two hours late getting home and nobody knew where he was. Needless to say, that was cause for some concern.
On top of that, under pressure Terri and I are like gasoline to an open flame. We clash in spectacular ways. So Terri wound up angry at me. Lots of slamming doors, glaring, stomping around the house. I felt like crap, Terri felt like crap, Christopher spent the evening in his room with his music turned up loud enough to drown us out. Wasted an entire evening just being stupid and angry.
This morning I woke up feeling awful. Physically I’m feeling pretty under-the-weather. There’s been some kind of crud wandering around the office and I’m feeling the effects of it today. I also had a pretty rough night emotionally. Didn’t sleep well, troubling dreams, lingering bad feelings from all the crap the night before. I certainly didn’t feel up to going in to work. Just wanted to close my eyes and shut out the world.
And we’ve got snow this morning, the first of the year. Not much of it… And it’s really wet, soggy crap… So it’s not as bad as it could be. I doubt if the snow will actually hang around for long. It’ll probably all be melted by evening. At least I hope it will be. But I am really not happy to see it cold and snowy this early. I hoped it’d stay nice for a little bit longer…
