A Bad Night

It has been a long time since I have had a night like this. It has been nothing overly bad, just a lot of small things that seemed to be the result of the previous small, bad thing... it all started a few hours ago when I went to Curves.

Today was my weigh in day. I was quite excited as I have been feeling and looking better - yet somehow I now weigh more and have a higher body fat percentage than when I started in February! How the hell did that happen! Especially since I look slimer, haven't gained any of the inches back... So that put me in a foul mood.

I decided during my workout I would go to the tanning salon after. I haven't been in about 6 weeks, and my tan is starting to fade. At this time of year I usually let my tan fall to the wayside, but since I am going to Hawaii in 3 weeks, I don't want to have to start from scratch (tanning-wise) when I get there.

I arrived there to find out that the hours of my tanning salon have changed. It used to be open till 9PM every week night - now it's only open till 9PM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday - it's Thursday and had closed at 6PM!

I decided to make taco salad tonight. After discovering the tanning salon was closed, I headed over to Safeways to pick up a couple of ingredients: avacado and taco chips. I was certain I had all the other ingredients at home.

Of course, I only decided while at Curves to make taco salad for dinner, so I had to thaw the meat out when I got home. In order to speed up this process I throw the frozen meat (in its ziploc bag) into a pot of hot water. But, as I got the pot out of the cupboard all the pot lids proceeded to fall and broke my Brown Betty (teapot).

With the evening I had been having this sent me to tears.

Our apartment is a mess right now because we are in the middle of a "spring" clean and trying to find somewhere to put our wedding presents. You'd think with 1200 square feet of space that wouldn't even be an issue, but that is a whole other entry.

In order to make some space in the kitchen so I could prepare dinner I did the dishes that were sitting in the sink. In doing that I managed to chip one of our new bowls - I only used it for the first time this morning.

Then when I went to collect the ingredients to make the salad I noticed there was no lettuce.

A few foul words came out of my mouth at this point, but I didn't feel like going back to Safeways just for a head of lettuce, so I made it without lettuce and put in extra tomato.

I'm not a big fan of lettuce anyways.

Since then things seem to be going smoothly. But I haven't checked the clothes in the dryer yet...

I hope tomorrow is a better day!
