So, here’s my horoscope yesterday:I must’ve been on the wrong dock, because somehow I missed this ship’s landing.

Current mood: jinxed
I've got the touch, baby! The car-breaking touch, that is. First, my car is out of commission. The mechanic didn't have time to get to it yesterday. Then, after borrowing Marcus' truck to get to work this weekend, it's transmission has decided to start acting up. Then, poor Dad calls me this morning. After chauffering me around yesterday, his car took a dump. Why me? If the mechanic isn't finished, Marcus is supposed to come pick me up on his lunch break to take me to work, unless I can find another sucker to dare driving me around in his/her vehicle. *sigh*

I'm sitting here watching a mini-marathon of "Amazing Stories" on the SciFi channel. That was a cool show.

Now that I'm to the part I really wanted to do at school, I'm feeling totally uncreative. The old self-doubt is creeping back in and I'm thinking that I'll never make a living doing this and I'm going to be stuck working pizza forever. How lame is that? I'm sure I'll snap out of it. I go through these from time to time. Oh, well. I'm sure part of it is just that I'm extremely tired. I need a vacation.

Current mood: sick
I'm had a rash in my left armpit since I was sick back in January. Some days it would look like it was clearing up, other days (like today) it hurt and itched so bad that I wanted to rip my pit out. I finally broke down and did some research and it appears that I may have developed a yeast infection. That would make sense since the antibiotics I was on caused a vaginal yeast infection. So, hopefully, the Miconazole (generic Monistat) that I have on hand will quickly clear this up. I sure hope so. I'm feel like that Molly Shannon Catholic school girl character on Saturday Night Live that always has her hands in her armpits.

I just saw a commercial on TV for the place I work. That has got to be the most boring, unprofessional-looking ad I've seen yet. It doesn't make me want to order from us, but then, I wouldn't order from us anyway. The last thing in the world I want to pay to eat is pizza. Anyway, the store was really busy last night. I'm beginning to think it's a conspiracy against me. When I drive, we're dead and when I don't, we're busy. It's starting to become a running joke in our store. The other day the asst. manager was looking at the schedule and said, "Uh, oh. Donna's driving tonight. We're going to be dead." I told the owner of the store this morning that he ought to pay me not to drive so that his sales will be higher. He had the nerve to laugh at me. Oh, well, it was worth a try!

I was at Lowe's to get a small (116") drill bit (I broke mine yesterday when I dropped the drill) and I was drooling over all the cool attachments that are out for the Dremel rotary tool. They also have cool drill bits that I want, but the set is $9 and I really need to wait and see how much my car repairs are going to cost before I blow money on something I don't really need.

I wonder what's up with the Locker Room show on KBPI. I was listening this morning and they kept playing this statement from the program director about how the Locker Room is off and there will be news next week about what's up with the morning show.

Current mood: hungry
I remembered another good thing about not being able to go to work this evening--I can grill the steaks I bought reduced at King Soopers yesterday without worrying about whether they would last until Sunday. Yay!!!! The steaks have been marinating since I last posted and the coals are getting ready. I love grilling!
