shoulda

we had kickball today but it was FUH-REE-ZING outside so we got about an inning and a half into a scrimmage and everybody just walked off the field.

i took out some recycling, but didn't get a chance to vacuum so the whole house is covered in leaves again.

washed the dog and that thoroughly pissed him off, so as retaliation he's been peeing all over the floor. we had been doing so well the last couple days and today it's like he totally forgot about all of that.

didn't get any dishes washed and there is a whole sinkload so i haven't made dinner.

i showed that dress to bryan and he agreed it looks like a sack on me. there's a nag in the back of my head telling me not to leave it sitting, like so many of my other unfinished projects. don't give up on it like all the other stretch knits. get in there and finish the damn thing! you know what to do, so fix it! but it's so much easier to sit here on the couch with the puppy, watching tv...

party pooper

this year i've just not been in the mood for any of this holiday stuff. none of it, really. going back to september, maybe even august, i just haven't had any heart for life. i just got through halloween, by hook or by crook, only to run headlong into thanksgiving, which i couldn't wait to be over. i couldn't bring myself to tell anybody "merry christmas" and actually mean it. even now it seems so cliche and meaningless the words leave a foul taste in my mouth. the most joy i got was finally spending a couple days in charlottesville with b's family, but even that was tainted by my inability to sleep well at night, as we are daily overshadowed by stress.

today, day 1 of 2010... how do i say "happy new year" honestly? i don't. i can't. i'll just be lucky to hold the pieces together for another year. it's horrible to say, but i have nearly lost all hope for this coming year, before it's even had a chance to begin.

please, God, if you're out there... prove me wrong...
