Merriest Christmas to all of us.

there are some things that worry me lately.

for example, the walls in our house are cracking.
its an old house. i expect some things to happen but,
what does one do about multiple cracks in the sheet rock?

another is that i have to bring in some plants for the winter.
i have some lovely plants, some are still blooming,
but there isn't
enough space inside to bring all of them.
today i feel like a judge.
this one lives, this one freezes.
you're pretty so you can come
inside. you're about to die anyway,
so you have to stay outside and
die in the bitter cold. i know they are just plants.
but, it still bugs me.

pinky shades of red really annoy me. red is my favorite color,
but it should be bold and bright....not a shade of pink.
just saying.

dealing with my phone...trying to figure out a problem with it
and hanging on the
phone for more than an hour talking to someone whose native
language is not English.
now, i don't feel upset with the person. I've lived in a
foreign country and been the one with an accent that others
couldn't always understand, but i didn't take a job in
which my ability to communicate was the most important part.
and still the phone problem lingers.

i used to love decorating for Christmas. but, our house is so small
and i have lots of nice ornaments and other things and i'm annoyed
that i have to choose only a few things to set out and put the rest away.
i know this isn't a life altering problem,
but right now it really irritates me.

my fridge leaks. nuff said.

oatmeal gives me indigestion. ridiculous, but true.

the neighbors threw beer cans in my yard!

my hubby got a summons for jury duty, but he hasn't filled out the
paperwork yet.
hope he doesn't get in trouble.

feeling kind of grumbly today. could you tell?
