What a morning!
Jul. 23rd, 2008 10:59 amIt's been stress, stress, stress, waking up 10 minutes before I had to leave for my doctor's appointment, Lia not wanting to go pee with C, HOWLING puppy in the car, phone ringing constantly, having to make 3 important business-related phonecalls and being interrupted by C and my parents* DURING these calls for completely unimportant stuff (WAIT UNTIL I PUT THE DAMN PHONE DOWN!) and then it's been "check the cats for me", "can C play tennis at 12:00", "where's the extension-cable I used yesterday? C must have taken it?", "What's he doing? Why?" - and Lia doing her best "crocodile/kangaroo camouflaged as puppy" impression during all this time.
EDIT: 12:30 and it just goes on and on and on. Problems with the shop-inventory system, our merchant bank sending me a strange e-mail which needs to be checked and "Where are my car keys?", "Where do you have this and this?", "Would you close this window for me?", "I have no more of this", "This is not working", plus the phone keeps ringing. Murp ran into the bedroom and is hiding under the bed, impossible to get out - C doesn't want him in there. In half an hour I have to serve lunch, I have a fair amount of orders that need to be packed and ready by 16:00, as Lia is going to puppy class at 17:00. Someone has been in my storage room in the basement, turned over the table, making a mess and breaking my cello-tape-dispenser. I need to wash down and spray-paint the radiator upstairs so that C can start painting tomorrow.
And then there's the mindlessness of other people. Like leaving plugged in, switched on, electrical cables unattended in the hallway, leaving garden tools on the grass in the garden with the blade sides up. There's a puppy around for heavens sake! Think! Plus all the kittens playing full-speed chase on the lawn.
Did I mention that I hate being interrupted when I'm in the middle of something? I need to keep myself under strict control, or I'll turn into a Cerberus-Balrog, and that's not fair when people are really just trying to help me out, even if I did not ask for help.
