Water off a duck's back? Not so much. . .

Sigh! It's crabbiness galore in Ini-land these days. Things that I'd normally brush off have me seething--a bad choppy haircut (I can pull off a ponytail for a month or two, can't I?), earphones that don't fit in my ear while working out (I've always known that my ears were a earphone-unfriendly shape--why does it bother me now?) a couple of messages that have gone unreturned (that's certainly not new), and just getting on the subway everyday. Teeny tiny things that would normally slip right off my back, that I'd usually not even notice--after all, this is someone who was walking around blissfully unaware of sporting two noticeably-uneven eyebrows for two months--have me up in arms. It might be time for a change of scene . . .

My suggestion is.... go shopping! It always works for me!

It's usually the cumulation of little things that seem larger in total than they do individually. Put it this way, the hair will grow back, you can get pads for your earphones that will hold them in place (that's what I use), keep leaving messages until they get so tired of you that they have to return them, and the subway...I can't help you there, LOL! I've been wrestling with that one myself for longer than I'd care to admit.

You think you have it bad! I taped a shopping list to the shell of my pet tortoise two years ago and sent it to the local store. Two years ago! And he still has not got back yet, typical.

I hope things get calmer for you, just look on the bright side.......Err can I get back to you on that

How about a vacation to the Carribbean? That might be perfect.

Winter in New York can do that to a person.
