This post brought about by too much Morrissey, perhaps.

I'm feeling really down today which is leaving me unmotivated to do much of anything. I did some general tidying around the house and found about 50 pieces of mail addressed to Jennifer (most of them junk) in various locations around the house. Tucked into all of this was the renewal information for our car insurance, which is up this coming week. It was mailed to us for our review in April. This is irritating, and in my current mood is all that much more. We won't talk about the alternative insemination information that Jen apparently got from our doctor who-knows-when that I've never seen before. I'm feeling kind of left out and sorry for myself so it's best not to go there, I suppose.

I'm berating myself for feeling blue and unmotivated because it's another beautiful day amidst forecasts of clouds and showers. This turned into a gorgeous long weekend and I have The Guilt for hanging out here in my pajamas instead of enjoying the sunshine. I guess I just don't feel much like enjoying anything at all. (*cue Eeyore here*)

My excitement for the day might include such highlights as doing some grocery shopping and taking out the garbage. Maybe I'll finish watching I Heart Huckabees or change the sheets on the bed. Speaking of sheets, Jeff and Melissa (for they are Teh Awesome) got us Mrs. and Mrs. pillowcases that are simply adorable. They are the purest love imaginable. I wish I was just like them.

Checking in on palmerlp's journal to see how he was doing was probably also not the best idea. I feel so much in my heart for him and everything he and his family has continued to go through. I will continue praying and hope someone listens.

Today is my smurfbrother's birthday and he deserves the happiest of days. Feel free to drop him a line of cheer, I'm sure he'll appreciate it. He is the greatest brother ever and should have the greatest birthday. I wish I was there to bake him a cake and make him wear a ridiculous party hat.

I was feeling very similar yesterday. My day started by doing some dishes and I accidentally got a shot glass in the garbage disposal. Not knowing this, I turned it on and...yep - flying shards of glass. At that point I was about ready to crawl back into bed and not come out FOREVER.

Oh my gosh, that's horrible! Are you okay??!?!

Wow, that sucks.

[bellabooks.livejournal.com]

Yeah...not hurt at all, just incredibly, annoyingly crappy. The kind of thing where nothing is going right, you still try and make life work for you, and then glass flies. (not that I'm bitter!)
Today's only slightly better. Olex and I DO NOT clean the house well together. We are doing some spring cleaning and mostly getting exercize by jumping on one another's nerves.
Sadly, I'm kind of looking forward to going back to work :(

I hope you find some peace at work. I like it when my Jen is happy!

p.s. Did I ever mention how much we love your wedding gift? Gosh, those things are beautiful. Hopefully I'll get all our thank you notes done soon. :)

You could come hang out with us =)

Our friends Jesse and Pamela are coming over, and we'd love for you to join us. Meet the dog, play in the sunshine with Widget?

Thank you so much for your sweet offer, but I'm not in a headspace to be anyone's good company, let alone meeting new people in the process.

I /do/ want to hang out with you, and meet the doggie, and spend some time with Miss Widget, just not today. I actually had plans with my Dad today that I totally blew off due to my mood.

I really know what you mean about feeling guilty about not enjoying the weather. Michigan is beautiful this time of year especially. BUT. I do have an excuse. I have bronchitis. So...the guilt isn't too bad. :)

Happy Birthday to your brother!

Yikes, I hope you feel better really soon!

[smurfbrother.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[livinginoctober.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome, and I am very pleased to know that there is another brother/sister combo out there that is close like my brother and I are.

I hope your day is wonderful!

Heh, the Jude and I didn't utter a civil word to each other until we were 16 & 19, respectively, but it's all good now.

It's only because you were a Big Meanie.

Thanks!

I think it was just one of those days. Elias woke up angsty and this afternoon I had a total "oh my god i suck" funk that I couldn't shake myself out of.
p.s. let's go rollerblading this week!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Sorry I won't be able to go rollerblading this week. Hopefully next week will be a /little/ more normal and I'll have some time to do things like that. We'll see what happens, but I /do/ miss you. And Elias. Even if he is a grumpy old rock star.
