The Kind of Day It's Been

6:15 p.m. I discover a wad of dog poop on the bottom of my shoe. Usually I take my shoes off in the house but the last few weeks with the mud in the yard and the dogs coming in and out I decided to just live with somewhat mucky and dusty floors until the big dry out. At some point today I picked up that tender little nugget and then walked all over the house with it. Here I was checking the two dogs' behinds for the cause of the nasty smell in the house and all along it was me.

Oh and remember my squirrel-chewed composter from Envirocycle Systems? I found a replacement door for $20 plus $7 shipping and handling. Not a bad deal to save a $200 composter. It arrived by UPS today, with an additional $23.24 in duties and customs coming over the border. The damn thing is made in Canada, in my own neighborhood to be exact but has to be shipped from the USA.

I think I am going to have a quiet little cry and call it a day.

The pool of tears was filling up today, just like the puddle from earlier in the week.
Feeling crappy, sappy and far from happy here too. A weekend the Katie in La Conception should snap me out of it..
Sorry about the poo shoe...
Big commiserating hugs !

Seems international. I also had a bit of a day and so did one of my students, who, poor thing, is having a bit of a week.

Bath?

Sh*t happens, right? ;)
Hope that little cry was cathartic.

Yuck on the dog poop...sometimes it just describes a day, a week...life is like the poop on the bottom of your shoe, tracked wherever you go...

As for that delivery...that would make me MAD...coming from "home" and shipped from the US and YOU have to pay customs?!?!?! Oy!!!!!

Ahh, this reminds me of the comment you made on my blog when my own beastie tracked shit all over my house. Sigh. I am sorry. Animals!!
