just a little present
Apr. 18th, 2005 06:10 pmIts a beautiful day! The sun is shining, slight breeze blowing to keep it from getting too warm. Not much going on at work. Complete lack of sleep last night prevents me from getting too restless at work. And to prevent me from getting to comfortable in my life right now... someone decides to take of myt passenger side mirror. Sometime after I got back from the bank and before 4:30. *sigh* So with brief instructions from the Honey over the phone, I grab my tools from the trunk and take the forlorn looking mirror off my car so it won't scratch the paint as I drive or possibly fall off.
Interesting experience that. Several people stopped to find out what I was doing. I'm sure I was a sight. This is unavoidably a woman in dress clothes from work, well manicured nails, and fixed up hair, kneeling on an atlas, presumably so she won't ruin her clothes, very capably working on taking apart her car door in a grocery store parking lot.
I have tools and I know how to use them!!! Luckily no one came by to tell me what I was doing or to see if "the little lady needs some help" cause I probably would have stabbed them with the screwdriver I was using. There are moments when the little hard won tact I have deserts me.
My poor little car with only one ear! The Honey is now inspecting the car and seeing if he can remove the graffitti from the garage wall while I simmer internally and wait for the rice to cook externally. I think I need a drink. Maybe some good chocolate. See if I can talk the Honey into driving by the Wedge later on.
I really enjoy helping and building things. I tend to not deal well when I'm not in charge of or at least allowed input in the process. The Honey is really good at listening to me but WOW do I not like having to deal with others during the process. I should be more confident that I can hold my own in a group but I'm not. In general I prefer to work on projects alone. That way I don't have to listen to people's criticism about my lack of experience or annoyance with me over my needing to measure everything 3-4x. I haven't had time to do things life that lately. Not that I really have projects I need/want to work on. Made up plans for an outdoor bower for a shrine last year but its not my shrine and I don't really feel like its my place to create something like that.
Maybe I'm feeling a lack of creation thing right now... I dunno. I feel pretty good with my progress on my weight. Maybe I just need to get outside a bit more.
