MATTRESS TOPPER

My heart is heavy today and I feel very blah. I didn't write yesterday. I got so caught up in "life events" that I didn't get around to my manuscript at all. I've noticed a change in me. If I don't write during the day...I get sort of depressed and feel like I've failed to do my job.

I blogged yesterday and kudos to me for doing that...but I didn't open Deadly Letters and continue working on it, even though that was my game plan for yesterday afternoon. Spent the morning doing some household crap, grabbed a quick lunch with a friend, had to go Brad's store to take him some medicine he'd left at home, then came the really FUN part of the day. I went to Target to buy a mattress topper. Oi Vey. I found the one I wanted, asked an associate to scan it for a price check...great price, struggled getting it up to checkout (those things are heavy if you get a good one), no offer of help from sales associate. Got it home, struggled getting it upstairs...opened box...CRAP...someone had switched out the less expensive one for the cheap one. I got tricked. Called store, talked to manager, she checked other stores, found one, struggled to get box back downstairs, scared the hell out of dog, drove to other store, struggled to get box into store, delivered it to customer service and can you believe it...in the mood I was now in...I got MS. ATTITUDE at the service desk. I almost went Madea on her ass, I was so completely pissed off. Talked to the manager, finally got my mattress topper, lugged it out to car, drove home, lugged it upstairs, took 30 minutes to get it opened and situated on top of mattress...FINALLY I had my new mattress topper.

Was it worth all that struggling? Definitely. I slept great last night. But maybe that's just cause I was so exhausted from all the lugging and struggling. At any rate, there was no way my brain was going to function and allow me to do my manuscript re-write justice, so I wimped out. I CAN'T do this in November!!!

Today...I continue with Deadly Letters...no distractions! Ooooo was that a butterfly I just saw?
