Oh look. The internet is back.

By internet, I mean those sites I go to regularly that weren’t accessible all afternoon, because they all seem to be hosted in San Francisco, which I understand had some electricity problems today.

OK, really, by internet I mean Livejournal. I have to have a daily fix of my friends list and communities or the day just sucks. Seeing as my day just sucked anyway, not being able to get my daily fix of Livejournal made it double suck.

Oh, I’ll probably get around to telling you all about “it” … the household crisis with a time limit that will be lingering for a few days making me angrier and angrier … but since there isn’t anything at all to be done about it, there’s no sense continuing to work myself into a lather for the next few days. I am choosing to look at it as getting a much needed vacation from my usual household duties. Of course, that just means I will have time to spend on the other two stupid things that occurred today and filled out the Trifecta of Suckage.

What do you do when you find your life severely disrupted in a non-harmful way, and you find yourself with a huge new chunk of time on your hands that could, conceivably be called free time?

I’d like to go shopping. In fact, I’d like to go to IKEA, because they have some one gallon glass canisters that would be perfect for storing my flours in, and they are cheap. That could turn into an all-day trip though, and if I have to push a cart around and go through a checkout, the chances of me only walking out with three or four glass canisters is slim to none, particularly in my current state of mind and level of need for shopping therapy. And you know, I am driving a truck now, so there really isn’t any limit on what size thing I can bring home either. Well, OK, I couldn’t buy anything too big or heavy. It would have to weigh less than, say, 75 pounds. That probably leaves the field pretty wide open, doesn’t it? ;)

It’s supposed to rain tomorrow. What this means is wanting to go to IKEA, or wanting to go shopping anywhere, will likely take a back seat to wanting to stay in bed and curl up with the two fuzzy monsters. Why, I might even watch TV during the day! That would be so weird.

Anyway, I’m trying to decide whether or not to go to bed. I’m tired, but I really am feeling an urge to paint. That means I need to decide right now if I am staying up all night, or if I am going to bed right now. I think I’ll just go to bed. It’s been a massively sucky day. Sleep might be a good idea. No telling what new suckage will meander into my life tomorrow. The least I can do is be well-rested to greet it. Besides, if I should decide I simply must have those glass canisters right NOW, IKEA is huge, I’ll need all my strength and mental ability to find the things and get out of the store with them. Really, that place is HUGE! I could get lost in there for days! :lol:

See, there, I didn’t talk about any of the day’s aggravating events, and now I feel somewhat peaceful and relaxed. I believe I will use this opportunity to go lay down in a dark room, close my eyes, and escape reality. :yawn:

But first, I have to go get my daily fix of Livejournal!
