Drama

You know hot, lazy, uncomfortably humid days where everything seems to irritate you, even little things... especially little things... it's too hot to sleep... even the water is warm... and things just start to go wrong... and then it escalates... and then still gets worse... so bad , in fact , you just have to stop laugh at it or else you'd cry (if you were a girl)... but then... badness continues to where you can't even laugh about it anymore so you have to snap... ? ...
... welcome to my life...
... We had such high hopes for the day today too... it started with grocery shopping and Danelle really excited about all the food and all the possibilities... but then very quickly the house got really hot from the stove and oven being on... and then the fryer didn't have a lid so the olive oil started spitting out all over the floor... so Danelle put on a coat so she didn't get burned... and ruined it when the oil started spitting on her...
... soooo hot...
... and then the detergent fell off the washer because it vibrates so much... cracked... and spilled detergent all over the bathroom floor... it took all our towells and a roll of already ruined toilet paper to sop it up...
... and it got even hotter...
... and then it was back to cooking, which was going alright except there's really no space to put all of the pots and pans and so the whole thing is one big clutter of hotness... and when we tried to put the salt and pepper into the sauce I broke the top off each of them and spilled them all over the floor... and then Danelle burned her hands on the pan in the oven...
... and it was heating up...
... the tube for the washing machine got pulled out of the whole on account of how tremendously much it vibrates and literally flooded the whole bathroom in an inch of water... it took Danelle with a broom and me with a round pail (cause it's all we had) 20 minutes to pail it all up into the tub...
... and then the icecubes broke all over the floor... and then Danelle fell and hurt her knee... and the garbage bag leaked detergent...
... and FIRE... (metaphorically)
... so I just left to go to hockey...
... but even at the rink I couldn't escape the bad day as our promised 30 minute light skate turned into 2 hours of battle drills... no fun at all...
... But some relief...
... It ended fine with a German festival for St Georgia and some nice cooked mushrooms... what a day...
