Or is it just me? To be fair, I never have really gotten the hang of Tuesday. (It IS Tuesday, yes? In case the people in the nice soothing scrubs want to ask me?)

I woke up this morning as I do every mornng: prior to 6 am. ( Not because I have to, I just can't sleep past 6 am unless I'm only 2 or 3 hours into my sleep. Then I can sleep maybe til 9. I'm not nocturnal...more diurnal, like a raccoon!) My thoughts are all over the place today, and it seems like everyone else I am encountering is too! I made my way downstairs for a quiet pot of coffee; my poor old Chief of Security followed me downstairs VERY SLOWLY before he went out to pee, and when he came back inside he went straight back to bed! The next time he came down, he was too tuckered to climb up those stairs again! (but he sure had fun chasing his stick!)

An hour into my morning I got a phone call from my bank, informing me in quite snotty terms that my safety deposit box payment was still overdue, and that it was 3 months late, and what was I going to do about it?...

To make a long and very aggravating story somewhat shorter; I took on a big bank, made them admit their employees had MADE A MISTAKE, made them fix it, and made them pay for it...if not monetarily, then on principle. However, in order to do so, I had to insist that the bank investigate the transaction to see where their employees had committed the inefficiency that led to the whole problem. Tomorrow, I'm going back to the bank, and the Customer Service Manager who insisted that she was correct and I was at fault, and she will APOLOGIZE for the way she treated me, or I'm taking my puzzles and balloons and going home.

Now if anyone wants me, I'll be curled up on the couch in the fetal position with my minky blanket over my head trying to sing Soft Kitty in the round...

How's YOUR Tuesday going?

.. You could always not worry about getting that apology and stick to focusing on making Wednesday a little more productive. You might notice that you will suffer no ill effects from doing without a pointless "I'm sorry" but the same can't be said of going after it.

I am a reformed member of the "acknowledgement of wrongdoing" extremist group. (it's nicer on this side, I promise!)

Well, after a few cherry popsicles (which I have in my freezer all summer long) and some bbq chicken on the deck, I have resolved to do EXACTLY that! Thanks for the smile Alix...

A few days a certain PERBster and I were enjoying a woodland rendezvous*. He said to me during a pause for breath, his bright blue eyes looking intently into mine, "Erica, I am glad you choose to use your powers for good. I shudder to think what happened if you crossed over to...the Dark Side of the Force**?" Do you see what happens when I even get CLOSE?


*I have mosquito bites on my tush. I blame you! You should have tried harder to spank more of them!
**Damn them and their cookies! I will never join the Dark Side! How will Han Solo ever leave Princess Leia* **for me if I cross over to the Dark Side?
***Buy me a really good Princess Leia cosplay outfit and I'll do the cinnamon bun hair! For reals!

How's my Tuesday going? Well, my Chief of Security, who goes by the code name "Herself", woke me up at 4 AM. She was out on the deck just outside the bedroom, loudly explaining the rules of Her yard, to some creature who had had the temerity to stray across the property line during the night.

Other than that, it's been a great day. And after all, one can't complain about the Chief of Security doing Her job.

Not sure about Mercury. I just hope there's no problem with Uranus!


I tried to resist... I really did... but I went and watched A Million Ways to Die in the West this afternoon and my mind is in lowest common denominator humour mode right now. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :D

We should start a thread ticked off Tuesdays where everyone can vent about something that happened recently :nod:
