sariagrayOh, look. I'm whining about stuff.
Okay. Yes, I already KNEW we weren't having Christmas this year. But I'm still disappointed, as it's my favorite holiday and I literally look forward to it all year. Not now. No tree, no lights, no decorations, no cookies. SO, yeah, no Christmas. I will be spending the majority of the holiday at my coworker's house, by myself.
But, in any case, I still wanted to buy my family a little something. I didn't get paid last week because someone down the line was an idiot. Long story. That all got sorted, but THEN I find out today that they aren't going to pay me until Christmas Eve. There goes THAT idea.
Then today at work a water main/line/thing broke. And everyone got to go home EXCEPT the people across the street (which includes me, of course) because our water wasn't shut off...it just wasn't WORKING. Seriously, it was disgusting. They sent us a lovely email saying that we could go to the library down the street to use the bathrooms if we needed.
So finally, after a long day of stress, I remember my constant craving for fish and chips. My town used to have two joints that offered such fare. One, I knew, had closed about a year ago. So I drive across town to the other one. THEY'RE not open again until January 4th. I JUST WANTED FISH AND CHIPS! I have been craving it for almost a month now! WHAT THE HELL!?
Throughout all of this, I keep finding myself repeating "I want to go home." But I AM home. It's not helping that I miss my ex like crazy; it was all well and good until now. I've spent the last five Christmases with her and it sucks to...well, not. Once the holiday ends, I'll be in a better place, I think. But then, I've never ever had to say that about Christmas before. Is this what growing up is? It's stupid. I don't want it.

I still had a little bit of money, though. Until Netflix charged me $30 for two DVDs that I sent back over a month ago. They were excellent people and reversed the charges, no questions asked. But that will still take a couple of days to clear.
