Here’s Hoping!

I’m mentally exhausted today. Too much stress over the past day has started to take it’s toll on me.
I really hope this bike ride clears my head out this weekend.

Speaking of the bike ride - I’ve made my fundraising goal and am going to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off tonight picking up a damn stuff sack that I forgot to buy when I got my sleeping bag last week. I also need to pack up everything and put it in my car tonight because Gord knows I won’t be functional at 5-fucking-30 in the morning tomorrow. I just pray to the same Gord that Caribou is open at 5:30.
(Me + making coffee) x 5:00am = Extreme FAIL
It’s Not Me - It’s You.

Dear Pownce:
We were getting along so well. A whirlwind courtship developed into a warm friendship that was dependable, reliable and so much fun. I couldn’t wait to see you every day. I got my friends to like you. We did so much together.
But lately, you’ve been distant, unresponsive and, frankly, a jerk. You aren’t there for me when I need you. Instead of your beautiful interface, I get a blank screen. Other times, I don’t even get that - just that there’s some “problem” connecting. That’s really what it boils down to, isn’t it? We just don’t connect anymore. I’ve been trying to work things out with you, and you promised that you would change and we would hang out more. And for a while there, we did. You weren’t as reliable as you once were, but we were able to see each other and my friends were able to hang out with us as well.
Now, it seems you’re slipping back into those old, destructive habits again. Most of my friends are angry and some even hate you for what you’ve done. Others are being patient and are trying to weather the storm. Me? I once had been hopeful that this was just a snag in the otherwise fantastic relationship that would be over soon. Now, I’m not so sure.
When does it get to the point where I just can’t try anymore? We do need to talk - but you’re not returning my calls. It seems the problem is with you, and not me. I haven’t given up on us yet - but I’m also not going to wait forever.
Please call me back!
Hugs,
Carolyn [a.k.a. "blogkitten"]

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

It never fails - the days where I plan to take my bike out for a long ride after work, there’s thunderstorms forecast for the day. Considering how dark, dreary and wet it is out currently - it’s going to be like this all day.

In other news, PLEASE DONATE TO MY BIKE RIDE FOR BREAST CANCER!! Apparently, I’m on the hook for any amount not raised under the $750 level - isn’t that great? I’m at $235 right now with less than two weeks to go, so please, any amount will help and I would be eternally grateful. Donate today!!

I’m bummed I can’t go watch the Nature Valley Downtown Classic on Friday night. Tim has to work until 8pm and then we have our live Tech Snark at 9pm. Oh bother!
Also, once again I will be missing out on the Tour de France this year as I refuse to pay $30 more a month just to get Versus to watch it. Oh well.

PS. DONATE! :-)

I don’t get annoyed at work very often - but my god am I steaming right now.

I think it’s my anger/frustration from H. Clinton being the biggest C-Biscuit I’ve seen in all of history. The lingering smell of her dead campaign for president had cast a pall over Obama’s rightfully earned victory and what should’ve been a history making speech and clear-cut declaration of his run for the Presidency. I was waiting for her to announce she was going to run as an Independent for President or just start shrieking “BUT I’M THE BETTER CANDIDATE!” and getting all crazy eyed.
As some pundit on CNN last night said [since I can't remember his name] “She lost! She’s done! There is no ‘I need to talk to my advisers to plan my next steps’ - she LOST!”
Indeed. C-Biscuit.

I just vented to my co-worker C about the work frustrations. I feel somewhat better. Somewhat.
*harrumph*
