Like a pizza left in a hen house

Lately whenever I cook with garlic, my hands absorb the smell so strongly that even if I hold them out in front of me I can still smell it for and it lasts for at least a day, sometimes more and akjdhfskdhgsk I am in that vicious garlic cycle right now and there are many many hours between me and baking soda. Uuggghgh.

New car and I are doing well - it handled the snowstorm from the weekend before last very well and so far I've managed to not scrape it along the side of my garage. I even managed to drive through the intersection where I had the accident and not scream in terror the whole way. Small victories.

The next few days are going to be stupidly busy and I dumbly agreed to switch shifts with Richard on Wednesday which means I'll be working 1-9 and pretty much destroys that day, and then I have to get up around 3 am on Thursday to get to the airport, as I am spending Christmas in Nashville this year (and that will be fun and relaxing and once I'm at the airport I will be calm and peaceful, I just wish I'd gotten a later flight). I have not finished my shopping, written a single winter card, and I have no time. And after the holidays I am going to have to learn how to seriously budget. Awesome!

Also I am incredibly tired and cold and still hurt from sneezing a million times during Saturday's sudden allergy attack. But I don't live in North Koreaaaaaaaa.

In conclusion, Monday. Bluh.

Sound of snow falling

Today was kind of a dumb day. The phone kept ringing, movies kept piling up, my boss gave me Christmas bonus of money on my account but she also took a DVD set I was going to buy out of my mailbox (despite it being suggested to her that I might be going to purchase it) and someone else bought it and it was supposed to be a present.

That switched shift is coming back to bite me in the ass all over the place and I think I really disappointed my mom by messing up a dinner date, so I hope I can get someone to cover it.

And on top of it, "Order of the Phoenix" is a depressing slog where everything and everyone is awful all the time.

I know at least three other people who had lame days, one person who lost someone special recently, and it seems like lots of people are just...having a lousy time. So I offer everyone hugs, and I hope it all gets better soon. North Korea and all that.

It's snowing. I think I'm gonna head to bed now. Good night.
