A Friday Frustration
Mar. 9th, 2019 12:52 pm After a super busy day at work, all I wanted to do was come home and just chill, but that wasn't on the cards not at all. In the morning I had washed the vacuum cleaner filters and such so that I could vacuum the carpet - the cleaner hasn't been sucking all that well, and so I suspected the filters. After work then, I had to come home, reassemble the vacuum and vacuum the carpets. It worked! but it also meant that by the time that was done it was time to go and get the dog that's boarding with us for the weekend, stay with the cats for a hour, bring the dog back home, order pizza to be delivered at Mom's house so that we could then go and pick out her fish. Running, running, running.
So... it should be noted that no one was feeling particularly well so we were all a little bit pissy, though we did our best not to take that out on each other it invariably happens, and even though we understand, we're also argh! Then we get to Mom's and had to harass the pizza delivery company to actually /get/ our pizza... and they forgot the garlic dipping sauce... they always forget something if they're late.
We got the fish - which is beautiful btw, a delightful minty whitish green betta fish - and had to wait for the heater to warm the water... which took FOREVER, and meant we didn't get back home until almost 10:30pm... then we had the rattie playtime and Discovery to watch (always good, and this was no exception), but it meant bed was well after midnight, and of course the dogs won't care in the morning. They'll just want to be up and fed at 7am.
Sounds like I'm moaning a lot more than I actually am, it's just... a little bit frustrating. Especially this weekend, when I wanted to be well rested because of the clock change on Sunday.
