And it's only Wednesday...

It is a well known fact, even on this blog, that I like to complain.  I have been trying not to complain so much lately, really, I have.  I don't know if I have really been succeeding, but I have been trying.  I am in such a blah mood right now and I don't really know what to do about it, so I am writing this blog.  I am writing to complain. Disclaimer: I know that all of these complaints are petty and that I do not in any way have the right, in the scheme of things, to complain. 

Here is a glimpse into my first three days of "summer break":

Monday:
I woke up early (ish), made a cup of coffee (I'm trying really hard to like it, which doesn't take too much with the new Bailey's creamer we bought) picked up a book (I ordered in February and hadn't had the time to start) and went outside to sit in the sun.  Although I was interrupted by the lawn mowers, I was too into the book to care (see my previous post). I took a break to work on some things left over from school that have been hanging over my head.  I won't go into the details but I will tell you these OTIS assignments are for the birds. I had three write ups to complete.  I was able to finish one of them and submit it (or so I thought, see Tuesday) before my internet died. I have been having an issue with my internet for over two weeks.  It was kind of nice during finals week because I wasn't tempted to facebook instead of study, but I had promised to call insight on Monday.  So I did.  The guy spoke English and was incredibly nice.  Couldn't fix it over the phone so I set up an appointment for a technician to come out.  I was kind of relieved because then I didn't have to sit on the phone for hours trying to figure out things to make it work.  It also gave me an excuse to put off my OTIS write ups for another day and dive back into my book, which I finished. Despite getting a tad sun burnt and eating healthy choice while Anthony was wined and dined at Children's, Monday was a very good day.

Tuesday:
I slept in a bit.  I got up when I got a call from the Insight man.  I went to make a cup of coffee but he showed up before I could get it going.  He was at my house for over an hour but I got a new modem and a new cable box out of it, with DVR, so I guess it was worth it. When he left I resumed making my cup of coffee but my Keurig decided to go crazy.  It brewed the tiniest, stoutest, cup of coffee I have ever seen (or smelled).  I didn't understand what had happened so I tried again.  Same outcome.  No bueno. A little frustrated, I realized it was time for lunch anyway.  I ate a crappy lunch (cleaning out the fridge, I can' remember the last time I went to the grocery store but I am leaving town on Friday and definitely don't want to go now) and settled in to watch Grey's on demand with my new cable.  Still pretty much a happy camper until I realized that my internet had stopped working, ALREADY. Dude hadn't been gone two hours and it stopped working!
When it came back I decided I would get those stupid write ups out of the way so I could really relax. I looked at the status of the one that I had already submitted and realized that I hadn't saved it. Seriously? It was gone, somewhere lost in cyberspace and I don't even know how to redo it.  I sent out emails to professors to figure it out but of course they're on break too, can't be too important then, right? Anyway, I finished the other two and decided to go buy a summer parking permit and head to the gym for a step class.  Half way through the step class, instructor got sick and had to cancel.  Poor girl and her "bad lunch." I got about 20 mins of a work out and my motivation was gone.  Did some abs and headed home.  More cleaning out the fridge for dinner and more TV watching.  Saw that Notting Hill was coming on and got excited.  Decided to watch it in bed.  Found out I didn't get that channel in my bedroom.  Settled for the couch.  Stayed up for 3 hours to watch it (almost 1 am) and the cable cuts out right before the "just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her" scene.  Seriously Insight???  It came back in time for me to see the end and I then went to bed.

Wednesday (Today):
I stayed up much too late Tuesday night reading blogs (taking advantage of my internet while it was working) so I slept in real late today.  I got up and decided to try to fix my Keurig, to no avail.  Just another call to service reps. Got ready to head to the gym for a cardio dance class.  Got in the car, pushed the button, nothing happened.  I had always wondered what my car would do if the battery was dead.  I didn't really want to find out, but I did today.  Called AAA.  An hour and $111 dollars later I have a new battery and a running car but I missed my cardio class.  I decided that the universe was telling me not to exercise (AGAIN). Ate a pouch of tuna and left over cous cous (still cleaning out the fridge) Talked to Mom and she encouraged me (encouraged, yeah that's what I'll call it...) to call Insight again to tell them about my internet.  So I did.  This guy wasn't nearly as nice as the first guy.  Told me they don't see anything wrong with the line but they can send out a technician again tomorrow. I'm now on call from 8am-5pm for the Insight tech, AGAIN.  The only thing I am looking forward to is Modern Family and dinner.  Unfortunately, dinner will probably be more fridge cleaning since I am broke. 

All of this and it's only Wednesday!

I knew that typing all of this out would make me realize how silly I am being for letting these things get me down.  I think my biggest complaint is that I need to see people (other than service representatives)!  I don't particularly like being alone for more than about a day. "Me time" is great but only in moderation.  I am very much ready to go home and see MY people (and dog) on Friday :)

Please forgive me for my complaints.  I am going to go clean my dirty house and get it ready for my new roomie ;) Fingers crossed my internet works long enough for me to post this, or not...
