today is just one of THOSE days.  you know what kind of days i'm talking about, the days that start out great but progressively get worse as the hours wear away.  without delving into details, i will just say that i could not do anything right today.  no matter how hard i tried to be on the right track with everything, it seems that i have either found a way to misunderstand, misinterpret, misjudge or mishandle (you name it and i probably did it wrong today) every little thing that came my way.  its okay, everyone has days like this.

to top the day off, this evening i had to go to a party.  one of my preschool work friends was throwing it.  not exactly my cup of tea to begin with and my friend the hostess was the only person that i knew well enough to talk to.  there were a ton of prissy sorority girls and brain-dead frat guys who generally don't give me a second glance, let alone talk to me.  so i ate some food and people watched.  a friend of mine was supposed to accompany me so i wouldn't have to stand there and look like a social-idiot, but things came up and she cancelled.  so i made my appearance, stayed a respectable amount of time, and was able to sneak away before the demonstration/game time.  the only reason i was able to sneak away was because the friend who cancelled on me called saying she was having a rough night.  she wanted to vent.  so i let her vent and did my best to comfort.  i even started driving to her place before she told me that nothing i could say or do would console her this evening.  i hate that.  there should be something that i can do.  so i turned around and headed home.

so i think i am going to spend the evening on my front porch, enjoying the not-so-hot/humid evening weather and read.  i can cause no harm spending my time in this manner.  i'm almost finished with the artemis fowl trilogy.  i have some work that i brought home.  it may or may not get done tonight.  its just putting together a few data graphs and designing a small piece of equipment.  i may save that work until tomorrow though, just so i will have something to do then.

so i'm off to go stick my nose back into my own business where it belongs and enjoy a book
