odds & ends

2008-06-02

All this waiting is making me miserable. The driver's test. Dad and about the car. Work.

I'm really tired. Still. I know. I just have a terrible time sleeping. Then a terrible time getting up. It gets hot at night.

I get fussy. I'm having a terrible time trying to be a nice person.

Does anyone else go through this?

You just feel like you are at the bottom of the barrel. And I don't know. I just wish I could see I could be happy, if I'd stop worrying so much.

Dad and I can't talk to each other. I want him to go away, but then I don't. Then I take it all out on Josh. You know, I do my best to be civil with my dad then I'm all mad and get smart mouthed with Josh and then he stomps off like I am the worst person he knows.

I gotta stop doing this crap.

I was talking to this woman who can't hold down a job because of her anger issues. She lives on a farm with her brother. And now crocheting seems to be the only thing to sooth her nerves.

She wouldn't shut up about it this afternoon while I was making a sandwich for her.

I was so close to saying, "Look, lady, you're holding up the line here." But I didn't. I should have never mentioned that time before that I crocheted.

Of course, I can't even get the yarn to behave itself lately. I'm making this cotton Tam out of hot pink just for me, and it got in all the knots. So I didn't get much done.

I did cut a sleeve out of a short sleeve black T-shirt this afternoon, and its great to cover my head. Of course, I like my tie-dyed on best. Its cut at an angel like a bandanna would be if you put it on your head, but its a bit more of a wide head band.

Guess I'll try to make a clutch bag for my friend's birthday. Sometimes, they don't always work, though. I hate that when the mess up on the stitch.
