Things That Make a Good Day Go Bad

• Deciding to create a budget. And then every step that follows that decision.
• The cat(s) puking five minutes after I get into bed. Or waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of a cat puking.
• Hearing my neighbor sneezing/sexing/coughing.
• When someone rings my doorbell instead of my neighbor’s. Three times. At 2:30am. (This happens way more than it should.)
• Bethesda pushing back the release date for the PS3 Skyrim DLC. It’s not like we haven’t been waiting months upon months already — what’s another seven days? Side note: the manfriend assured me the TV is mine that week. Goodbye productivity/Internet/school.
• Second-guessing answers on a math quiz.
• Car woes. It seems my 10-year-old Neon is on its last legs. Last week I was leaking transmission fluid (and feelings) all over this city, which led to my radiator being replaced. Now my brakes are on strike. It’s like my car prefers money over gas. I’m thinking about sliding $200 into the gas tank.
• Anymore than 20 emails in my inbox. I’m extremely particular about the state of my main inbox, and more than 10 really gets my anxiety going. If it’s at 20+ unreads, I’ll get hives.
• Interruptions to my routine. I’m beginning to think that I don’t adapt to change very well. Working from a coffee shop yesterday because our power was out threw off my entire day.
• People who call me to tell me to stop calling them. What? Last week I received a call from a number I didn’t recognize, so I let it go to voicemail. That person continued to call until I picked up. When I did, this lady (who I don’t know) told me to stop calling her. Apparently I kept calling her over and over — I think my call log will show otherwise. After hanging up, she called two more times. Super strange.
