Eh, the past few days have been....eh.
Weekend was sort of a lame one...well in the "fun" department, anyway. Friday night I worked on the film; Saturday morning went to a wedding/brunch...which was fine but odd to be ordering a drink at 10:45am...(mimosa but still)...that afternoon from about 4pm til 2am I worked on the film. Sunday - 11am worked on the film. I was getting extremely frustrated with just....I don't know - being inside all day, being exhausted, being worried about the film not being any good - by 6pm I was antsy as hell. I seriously felt the walls closing in and like I was going to lose it. On the verge of tears again and again - for what? I honestly don't know.
After I got home last night, the Boy and I worked on the plumbing situation - mostly him...I did things like hold a bucket, turn on the house, etc. After much high pressure hosing, plunging, cursing and then snaking - we got an incredibly disgusting hair ball (seriously - guinea pig sized...okay - small guinea pig) out of the pipe!!! Oh my god I wanted to throw up just looking at it...I think if it had been there any longer it would've started growing teeth and nails and eventually crawled out of the drain to kill us. Needless to say - we were OVERJOYED to watch the water flow freely down the drain in the tub. My shower kicked ass this morning. Unfortunately that didn't fix the hole in the ceiling...we'll get to it, I'm confident.
Today at work - well, I was just depressed I guess. I was stressed because I didn't have a b-day present for my boss...things like this stress me out...so I went at lunchtime and found a campy calendar - a "moniker" calendar that had a photo each month of a place like...."Dan's Pub" "Danny's Pizza" - etc...I thought it was kinda cute...spent too much on it and was satisfied. Well, at 2pm - official "birthday party" time rolled around - he was crabby. Didn't want to have cake, was embarrassed that we make a big deal out his birthday but no one else's (but it's what I do...take care of my boss!!)...anyway - I think he thought the gift was dumb, I didn't get thanked for it (which is highly out of character) ; people came up to me afterwards (late, naturally) bitching because nothing was left; and other people were annoyed because I didn't send an email out early enough and I'VE HAD IT!! No more doing nice things for people because nothing is ever good enough, or enough, or thoughtful enough, or the 'right' thing ARRRRRGGGGHHHH - needless to say, it put me in a CRAP-PY mood. *sigh*
The Boy says "hi," btw....he is here folding clothes right now and asking me if I'm going to write about how annoying he is. Which of course he isn't. He's just simply wonderful and that's all there is to it.
Anyway - a trip to Michael's for Christmas crafts lifted my spirits...and although we didn't eat until 8:30 or so...it was pork chops on the grill (grilling in November in Duluth - yippee!) so it made up for the lateness....
And now - Angels & Demons is calling my name so I must go...and get to bed early tonight. I'll be editing again tomorrow and should take advantage of it when I can.
Oh -
I'd like to know how to post pictures to this site as I'm about to start making some crafty things for Christmas gifts....mosaic candle holders, personalized mini-journals and the ever-popular - marble magnets in altoid tins....Maybe no one cares but I think it might be fun to show some of my work. Oh - I'm also designing my Christmas card yet again...and this year it WON'T involve making teeny tiny little Christmas trees out of far to thick of gauge wire.
anyhoo...
g'night.
