Crappity Crap Crap Day

This has been my day today and it's only 9:30 am. Actually this all happened before 7:30 am.

1. My dog is back to not wanting to potty outside. She would at least go outside when I took her out, but only to play with the June bugs.

2. I didn't sleep well last night and so I was up from 12-1 watching the Barefoot Contessa. I like her kitchen. It's pretty and calming.

3. Since I didn't sleep well, I didn't want to get up and therefore was running late all morning, while trying various times to get June Bug eater to go out and potty. I kept telling her I didn't have the time, nor was I in the mood for her weirdness today. She didn't care.

4. Trying to get myself out the door and decided to wrangle Chloe into her harness to take her out front to pee. I think she sensed my frustration as I'm smacking her velcro harness shut around her. I take her out front and before I even know what's happening, she sees a cat under the car next door. She takes off after it, yanking her leash out of my hand. She chases the cat across the street and then acts like she's going to come back to me. Nope...wants to keep on truckin'. So as various cars are going up and down my street, she's taking advantage of her newfound freedom by peeing in everyone's yards. So unladylike. I'm fuming at this point...but also scared thinking she's just going to keep going until she gets to 23rd street. At one point after she peed...I told her what a good girl she was, feeling like a complete and total fool that I'm praising her while she's on the lam. But I thought she might come over to me for a treat. She didn't care. Finally she stops to check out a trashcan and I was able to get ahold of her leash. Wrapping it around her throat briefly crossed my mind. So we walk back home...to my house that has been unlocked with the door open this whole time. I'm crying the whole way back. She's happily having a morning walk. Head is pounding.

5. I go to the post office to mail a birthday card. Then head to Sonic for a VERY needed Route 44 drink at this point. I'm also running later than usual...but I didn't care, I wasn't going to work without my Sonic drink. I pull in, there's four cars ahead of me. Of course there is, because I'm running late. Roller derby brings me out my 44 oz Dr. Pepper. I hand her my debit card and she said the machine was down, but it was okay to just take it. THAT is the highlight of my day.

6. Get to work and as I'm getting out of my car I drop my keys between the door and my seat. They don't want to become unstuck. Of course they don't. Why would they on this crappity crap crap day. Finally got them out and get to my office. There are people already here because it's almost 7:00 at this point and I'm usually the first one here way before now. They were worried and when I was asked if I was okay...I burst into tears.

7. I'm working away and need to get some file folders out of the cabinet and then drop them all over the floor.

8. I hate this day.
