A Most Annoying Weekend
It started on Friday. I woke up with a clogged milk duct from the pressure of the nursing bras I’ve been wearing. I know, gross. I had the same thing when nursing son #1 so I knew what it was and went about treating it asap so that it wouldn’t develop an infection. It’s pretty painful and I was quite annoyed by it. I went online to search out new nursing bras and decided I would drive into town Saturday (when my husband could watch the boys) and pick some up.
Friday my husband also had a terrible day at work. On the way home the water pump went out on his truck. Friday night he was putting up some lights in our garage and drilled through his thumbnail with a power drill. He works in construction so A) It’s not like he doesn’t know what he’s doing and B) It’s going to make work tough for him for at least a week or two. There was blood everywhere and it was really nasty.
Saturday I drove all the way to town (about 45 minutes one way) to find the store that I knew had the brand of bra I wanted was out of business. They still have a website though that is current but (I realized later) only mentions in tiny print on one page that they don’t currently have a store but do hope to have online ordering soon. I went to another maternity store only to find it out of business also. The only other store I knew of was all the way across town and since I bought my current bras there I knew they didn’t have what I wanted (yes, I realize I just used the word “current” or “currently” about a hundred times but I’m too tired to do anything about it right now). I turned around and drove home empty handed and really annoyed.
I was terribly exhausted last night but couldn’t sleep. It was torture.
This morning I realized it was daylight savings so I lost an hour right off the bat. Then I plugged in the coffee machine only to find out five minutes later that it stopped working. Yes, it is completely dead. Our only local coffee shop went out of business a few months ago so I’m lost. Stupid bad economy!
Today isn’t over yet so I’m expecting more annoyances before the day is through. At least I can start a new week tomorrow - although I guess I have to do so without my coffee. Sigh.
