Monday Blues

[spicedogs]

 

Four things that, so far, are indicating to me that this day will suck:

1. This time of the year, I suffer from some allergy that makes me itch to no end. No ointment works. The only thing that works is to pour scalding hot water on the itch. I've been doing that while showering. It's an amazing feeling of pain and relief. I guess that's my portal to the sadomasochistic world. Sudafed or any other product containing antihistamine works. As I didn’t have any antihistamine at home, I took some Zyrtec from Abbie. Unfortunately, drowsiness is one of the main side effects. I took my pills last night, but I am pretty drowsy today. I sit at my computer and the next thing I know, I am asleep. It’s not going to be a productive day.
    
2. While I get dressed up in the morning, I put the TV on for news, traffic, and weather report. We were warned that it was quite chilly outside. Brian, who was outside trying to gather the dogs to come in for their breakfast, told me that it was not as cold as the TV said it was. So, foolish me, I listened to him and didn’t get dressed warmly. I froze my buns off at the train station.
    
3. Every workday, we eat breakfast at the cafeteria at work. I always get sunny-side up eggs. Today, for some reason, they had no eggs, except for some premade ones. So, I had 2 hard-boiled eggs. I really don’t like hard-boiled eggs.
    
4. Last Thursday, I accidentally left my beautiful red-and-black shawl in the cafeteria. I enquired about it, nobody turned it in. Rats, one of my possessions, once again, was stolen. The shawl was old and was getting worn, but I liked it. (One good thing is that I found the same exact shawl on the Internet, and I just bought it.)

I hope that this stream of bad luck and suckitude will end soon.
