things that will wreck your mood

thunderstorms that keep you awake all night with a panicked dog (two valium had little effect on her last night)

being pissed off at an unreliable 'friend' - who as well as not showing up when she she says she will - borrows things without regard for when they might get returned.  Will institute NEW POLICY on this subject.

getting pissed about the costume not fitting all over again.

oh and ... it's nearly 2:30 and we can finally leave to do the errands for the day.

J went out to get a haircut & play squash this morning. then he got home late & the DOG insisted on her walk and NOW he's in the shower.)
but we're going out bed shopping so we really do have to go together...

I think.... cheesecake could improve the situation - immensely.
