little bitty girl

Hi, my name is Karen. You can call me Miss Grumpy Pants. At least for this week.

This is what's been going wrong in my world (yesterday's incident not included).

I dropped my camera last week. And now the lense won't retract. It's beyond its warranty and I am not sure whether I want to pay for a new one especially since I am saving for a digital SLR. But me without a camera is like fish without water.

Mindy has somehow developed a bad reaction to her medication and prescription food. My child is listless, lethargic and having diarrhea. I lay awake most nights just holding her close wishing she would feel better. The vets just want to give her MORE medication. But I'm looking at alternatives. I figure since I barely take any synthetic medication myself, why the heck would I poison my child? I am becoming disgruntled with conventional medicine in general.

I ordered sashimi to make me feel better since sashimi always makes me feel better. I got a splinter from the take-out chop sticks. Yes, I am the only Chinese person in the world who doesn't own her own set of chopsticks.

It's been so cold here and so dry that my skin feels awful. I DO NOT like feeling dry, flaky and uncomfortable. My usual potions and creams have not helped.

I don't understand why when he does laundry, why he never remembers to wash my jeans? I mean, I pretty much only wear jeans every day? How hard is it to wash a couple pairs of jeans?

I am going home and will be trying to get over my grumpiness in these ways....

Mop the floors (shiny floors always make me happy)
Cuddle my baby (because I love her more than anything else in the world)
Watch cheesy TV (I don't want to have to use my brain)

and sulk.
