I’m taking the day off

Tres decadent, no?

Yesterday was a fun writing day—lots of plotting, planning, writing and much-needed enthusiasm—but my bubble got popped. Renewed meh factor heightened as I tried really hard to sleep, so I removed to the sofa so as not to keep the husband awake with what I call tossing and turning, but which he so lovingly refers to as barrel-rolling. I woke up still depressed, but with such a crick in my neck I look like Quasimodo and with cat hair all over me.

I’m told when my husband kissed my cheek and told me to have a good day, I snarled and bared my teeth at him.

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing Romanceland—with it’s ever-so-cheerful current climate—is not a good place for me to be today, so I shall arm myself with an old toothbrush and a box of baking soda and commence to scrubbing obscure corners of my house. Tis a far better plan than setting my laptop on fire in the driveway.

And…69 more days until school starts and I already want to take “Star Wars: Battlefront II” out of the PS2 and smash it into a bazillion pieces. Mostly because of the arguing, but also because the boys laugh every time it plays the “Imperial March” and I answer my cellphone only to find nobody’s calling me. I’m not changing my Darth Vader ringtone, dammit. It’s an integral part of my evil Sith Mom charm.

    My phone moos like a cow. An outraged cow, mind you, but a cow nonetheless. I think that just about shows the difference between our styles. I wanna be you.

    It was a pity party. Mostly it’s over. Mostly.
