A bad case of the Monday blues

When I woke up today, I was already in a bad mood. Dean my beagle was curled up in my knee crack where he always sleeps. It's the most comfortable position for him since I always sleep on my side. The problem is, I toss and turn in my sleep. Now, when Dean is sleeping with me my subconscious doesn't want to disturb him and so I don't end up moving at all. So when I wake up in the morning, I can barely move. Not only do I have a dog and a boyfriend restricting my sleep movements, I have a very very broken down mattress that sinks towards the middle. All around I don't usually get a very good sleep simply because it's just a bad sleep experience all around. (The boyfriend and I are saving up for a new mattress)

On top of the sleep situation, when I woke up this morning to wash my PetSmart uniform, I noticed there was no water in our apartment. The water was shut off!! What. The. Hell. After calling the office 3 times with NO ANSWER I walk outside to find a plumber working on the pipes. Well thanks for the heads up. Frustrated, I took off to Wal-Mart to buy another pair of khaki pants since mine are covered in laundry detergent sitting in the useless hunk of metal washer. Okay so I have been in Florida just shy of 2 months, and needless to say I have yet to figure my around. In a huff I took off to what I thought was the nearest Wal-Mart according to the GPS on my phone. Little did I know, I was headed for the middle of a neighborhood 15 minutes away and no where near a fricken Wal-Mart.

Once I figured out where I was and how to get to an actual Wal-Mart, it was 12:30. I still had to figure out what to do with my un-washed hair, un-brushed teeth, and naked face. Also, I only actually have one PetSmart shirt because the other one they gave me was long sleeved. They gave me a long sleeved shirt, in Florida. What. The. Hell. (Again) I can only assume this was by mistake. Finally I got home around 12:50, and then I have to leave by 1:20. I high tailed it inside, threw on my khakis and a tank top, grabbed my PetSmart shirt and ran out the door. So maybe I took a few minutes to do my make-up, you can't blame me for being a girl.

Despite the day getting off to a pretty rocky start, it didn't turn out to be such a bad day. I worked from 2pm-8pm and since I like my job it all went smoothly. Only my third day at PetSmart and I'm pretty much an expert! (Jk) (kinda) But, I like the people I work with and of course I get to see pets all day so I'm pretty much in heaven. When I got home from work, I checked my mail and 2 of my packages came. Packages = instant happiness.

Calligraphy is becoming a more and more common art form. I took it upon myself to purchase a beginner calligraphy set from Speedball through my beloved Amazon Prime account. Much to my displeasure, calligraphy is not something I was instantly good at like most art related things. Youtube is a very good teaching aide that I am utilizing, and if I stick with it I could probably be pretty good at it. There is one lingering problem I'm having..... being left-handed. My left hand drags across the ink, and I can't hold the ink pen in the right position for the letters to look right. Tomorrow once I'm not so tired I'm going to try writing with the calligraphy pen right handed.

As you can see I still need a lot of practice on my lettering, but that's the key: practice practice practice.

The other package I received was my Dollar Shave Club box. I know what you're thinking, "Isn't that for men?" well the answer to your question is yes. WHICH IS WHY IT'S GOOD FOR ME!! Men razors typically have more blades, and are much more durable then women's razors. Honestly I was surprised at how cheap the membership was. There are so many customization options, and you can choose the frequency that you receive the box! I chose every other month. In my package I also received a shave butter. Since I just received the package today I have yet to try it but I will keep you updated.

One thing about me is that I always try to see the positive in every situation. Not being able to wash my uniform or my hair seriously pissed me off. But if I take a step back I can tell that there's an underlying issue that is causing me to be so angry all the time. I'll have to get into that later, because Dean is whining for me to take him potty. The point of this blog post was just to vent out the crappy start to my day. Once Dean and I return, I plan on writing a more positive sounding article.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Not.

Proof reading my post before I actually publish is a habit that's not quite ingrained in me yet. During school, when I have to write an essay I almost never reread it. For once I actually read through my whole post before publishing and I realized that most of the time I'm just bitching. But that's okay, you know why? Everyone needs to bitch a little now and then. It's how you let off your steam. Some choose physical activities, and some just complain. The point is to not just bitch because that could get annoying. Make the changes necessary for you to live life while being the happiest you can be. That is the most important thing; your happiness.
