I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I guess I went and got myself addicted to NyQuil again. I ran out last night and can't afford to get any more. Now, when I lay down, all I can think about is having no money and a broken car and I start crying and can't stop. Now, in addition to cramps, I have a headache, puffy eyes and a stuffy head. Oh, and I've got a tooth acting up and no money to see a dentist. So, here I sit. I don't want to keep Marcus awake since he has to go to work in the morning. I am feeling like the worst loser in the world right now.

Oh, and I hate snow.

I didn't have class this morning. My teacher fell off a horse over Thanksgiving break and broke her collar bone. In a way I was relieved because I've been in a really blah mood lately and haven't done squat for this class. On the other hand, I've been in a blah mood and haven't done anything for the class. I'd really better get my butt in gear this week.

The blah mood is a result of money problems (what else is new?). It's bad enough that my paycheck wasn't enough to cover bills this time around, let alone have anything to do Christmas stuff with (I'd better get a Xmas bonus this year or I'm screwed), but I've been in denial about the severity of my financial problems and have run my credit cards up to the limits buying stuff on eBay. Now my car decided to crap out. My brakes started grinding really bad today. It makes it really hard to deliver when you can't stop your car. The check engine light came on last week. What else is going to go wrong here?

I forgot to mention the incident at Home Depot yesterday. Marcus thinks I over-reacted. I went it to get the tile to put my kitchen back together (I still have room on the Home Depot card). I was on my way to work and happened to be in my work shirt. I stopped two employees walking down the aisle to ask if they had more of a particular tile I needed. The woman asked if I had any pizzas. I said no. She smarts off with, "If you don't have any pizza, then we don't have any more of those tiles." I said, "Fine, if you're going to be that way, I'll go buy my stuff somewhere else." I grabbed my purse and jacket out of the buggy and stormed out. I swear, I get so sick of being harassed by people like this. What makes people think that just because I work in a pizza place that I get free pizza? Also, if I did, why would I give it to someone I don't know just for the hell of it? I would never think of asking a Home Depot employee (or any other employee) for free stuff. After 12 1/2 years of these kind of comments, sometimes I snap (especially when I'm PMSing).

Current mood: amused
I can't remember where I found this link today, but go check out Mr. Picassohead. I messed around with it for quite awhile. There are quite a few interesting pieces that others have done in their gallery. Here's the one I submitted.

Woohooo, the Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs today 45-27. A much better turnout than their last meeting. Way to go, BRONCOS!! Oh, and I hope you choked on those words you had to eat, Eddie.

Nothing like getting your paycheck to put a damper on any holiday spirit.
