I think tonight instead of going right home after work, I’m going to go to the park. I feel like I need to spend more time with nature. I’m watching the trees across the street swish and sway in the wind and I’d really rather be over there in a rain slicker than sitting at my desk nice and dry.

NEED TO ESCAPE.

Actually, what I think I’d really like would be a box of those Chocolate Frogs like in Harry Potter (since they don’t sell Chocolate Bunnies after Easter). A big hollow chocolate frog that I could break pieces off of. They taste better that way, I think.

An ambulance just passed my window. I hope whoever’s in it is okay. If there is someone in it. Maybe they’re going to get someone. Whatever the case, I hope it is non-fatal and non-painful.

The weekend starts in two and a half hours!

I went to pay a library fine for Andy the other day, seeing as how our delightful four legged best friend simply decided to devour the book in multiple senses of the word, and did you know that there is a $5 processing fee for receiving payment on a missing book? We didn’t want to give them the book back seeing as how it had Kayla’s chomp marks and dental records Morse Coded into it (this is what happens when you don’t have the house stocked with dog toys) and decided to just pay for them to get a new book. Anyway, $5 for them to accept my cash and handwrite a receipt for me?

I protested, but not like a crazy person, saying that the letter only said $25 and that was all I had brought with me. The supervisor waived the fee for me without any sort of ado, but one would think they would put in the letter that it would be $25 for the lost book charge and a $5 processing fee. So methinks it possibly wasn’t legit hence her canceling it? I dunno. Our Libraries billing department is rather odd and located in a basement. Maybe they wanted the extra money to buy their way into a better office. If it was legit, which it could be, I’d suggest that they include that in their letter so that happy citizens can bring the correct amount.

Also, I’m not the best girl in the world because I have several nails that need trimming and no nail clippers in my bag. I have one nail that has just been pestering me all day because it got the tiniest little snag in the side. So, of course, I had to try and fix it myself because I can’t just let a fractured nail hang loose. And I think we all know that teeth are nowhere near as accurate or as precise as clippers, so now I am stuck with a jagged edged nail.

And finally, for those who are curious, WebMD thinks I likely have a stye seeing as how I don’t have any eye redness, sticky gunk gluing my eyes together, or excessive tear ducts. Just an enormous, puffy eye lid. They recommended warm compresses four times daily and we’ll see how soon things clear up. Hopefully soon as I spent half of yesterday hiding my eye behind my bangs/hair with that coy look. When I left work to go to school, I had one of those fuckit moments and clipped my hair back. Deal with it, people. I’ve been hiding my deformity all day. Heh.

Today, I’m just in a whatever mood because it seems like it’s shrinking. I’ve been dutifully sitting on my hands all day so that I won’t mess with it. And yes mom, I do wash them. Once a week. Really adds to my cooking abilities. Lots of flavor, they say. Did I mention my nail is jagged? Be proud, mom, be proud.
