Linda is very crabby this evening. She needs to get in a better frame of mind before she leaves for church. Wednesday night church is such a wonderful mid-week service, she does not want to sit there feeling stressed. Maybe if she writes all the things down, she'll feel better. 1) She is sick and tired of salespeople coming to the door between 4:30 and 6:30 every weeknight. They are trying to sell all sorts of things... pest control, lawn services, trash cans, magazines, windows, siding or just asking for money for the band, football players, etc. If they just rang the bell once and went away, it wouldn't be bad. A guy with a clipboard just slammed his fist on the door for 3 or 4 minutes and rang the bell 5 times trying to get Linda to open the door. That makes us bark our heads off. GO AWAY NOW! 2) She has 33 kids ages 4-11 in her new TKD classes at the Y. This is very good for our budget... but also enough to make her feel like pulling the ponytail off her head. This afternoon TKD class was crazy. Breath, Relax, Center Linda. 3) Chimmie has been whining constantly. If she isn't petting him or playing with the ball, he is licking her and crying at her feet. Stop Chimmie, or she is sending you away with the man pounding on the door. 4) No one is owning up to it, but one of the pets just peed on her bedroom floor. A big spot right at the foot of the bed. 5) It took her 45 minutes to try and figure out how to get her new teaching music and DVD to load up on her iPhone. Usually, it works just fine. Today, it acted like it was synching but when she checked, neither thing showed up on her playlist. 6) She is coughing /sneezing/and has a runny nose from some kind of allergies. This happens every fall. Be gone allergies. OK, now that it's all out in writing she won't have to think about it anymore. She can jump in the shower, get dressed and read her Bible for a little while before she has to leave.
After her attitude adjustment: 1) She is thankful she actually had a nice home and that she isn't on the outside of the front door trying to sell something to crabby and rude people who don't want to be bothered. 2) Having lots of kids in TKD class will take the pressure off her having to sub so many classes to be able to pay all our bills. 3)Chimmie just loves Linda with his whole heart and than some. She's thankful he is a licker and not a biter. 4) Pee can be cleaned up. 5) She has a wonderful laptop, iPhone and iPad. She used to have a Fred Flintstone phone and computer. 6) Fighting allergies is nothing compared to what some of her friends are fighting, like cancer and tumors. The End.
