I had a bad day yesterday.  I won't bore you with the details, but it was one of those days where even being at work was too much.  That's saying a lot since work is my haven these days.  So, pleading a family emergency, I went home.
 
I got home and grabbed a blanket and some pillows and set up on the couch.  Kept the lights off and turned on the TV.  I watched every single cop and detective show that Bill hates.  Plain and simple I spent the day trying my hardest to ignore all the shit that is piling up in my personal life.
 
For lunch I had a very fattening, very starchy double serving of lasagna.  I haven't had more than 1/2 cup of pasta since I started my diet.  It felt sooooo good to just shove that stuff in my mouth knowing full well that it was a "no no".  I was enjoying myself so much that I went into the kitchen and poured myself a rockstar energy drink with a liberal dose of Patron silver tequila.  Yum.
 
I rarely sit on the couch doing nothing for more than a few short minutes, but yesterday I did not leave the couch until "he" showed up home.  Then I took my pity party into the bedroom and snoozed there until he went to sleep too.  Then my mobile pity party relocated to the couch.
 
I must have gotten 12 or more hours of sleep yesterday between dozing off in my tequila stupor and going to bed before prime time TV.  God I felt rested this morning.  Maybe I need to take a sick day more often.

           It sounds like you benefited by relaxing yesterday. I'm glad you caught up on some sleep. Now that you showed him how to do it, how is Bill coming along with the key jewelry ?

    I'm glad you took most of the day to pamper yourself.  When I saw the title, I thought it was one of those, "byebye to Soulcast" posts.  Needless to say, I'm relieved. 
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....

    winters - thanks, and yes, carbs are my comfort food :)

    CM - Bill isn't involved with the key jewelry.  I will be doing that as soon as I have some scratch to buy some findings.

    MissMimi - It's pathetically true that SC is as close to family as I have, and I don't abandon family.

  • CayenneMan said on Oct 29, 2008....
    Is he taking it hard ?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    CM - He doesn't take much of an interest in anything he considers "hobby" work.  As long as there's food and clean clothes he doesn't take much of an interest in anything I am interested in.
  • CayenneMan said on Oct 29, 2008....
    Could be worse he could be in Texas getting his ass pinched.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    CM - as long as he doesn't bother me he can have his ass pinched any time he wants to.
  • CayenneMan said on Oct 29, 2008....
    Yeah but would that be fair to secretlife ? She may not know he's your rhinestone cowboy if she follows your advise :0)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    CM - you're right!  I should warn her so she can give him a wide berth .... much like the plague.
  • CayenneMan said on Oct 29, 2008....
      It's going to be cold tonight. I'm going to look pretty silly wearing these tights under my jockey shorts but at least I'll be warm . My jersey # is 13 and it fits pretty good. Even though I'll be wearing my jockey helmet I'll still feel like a dick. This was just one bad idea. I kinda like the whip. I just hope it's dark when we leave . . .my God I hope I don't get pulled over. These freag'n socks are tight but at least they go up to my knees.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    CM - LOL send pictures!
  • CayenneMan said on Oct 29, 2008....
      Oh shit !   I forgot I've got to go pay my Sears bill. Oh no !  This is really gonna suck !   See you later uniquely-ironic.   I'm going straight to the holloween party after I run to the mall.  
  • beyondtheveil said on Oct 29, 2008....
    unique- I haven't been sleeping well except in my big overstuffed chair with ottoman in front of the tv. Then it occurred to me that's why I'm not sleeping well.

    That's what I thought of after reading your post if you're wondering why I said it at all.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 29, 2008....
    Nothing at all wrong with it, you get paid family leave so bloody take it! as for the tecquila? go girl... the lasagne? yummmm sometimes me time is very me time no rules.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    BTV - I actually enjoyed snoozing on the couch with the TV on yesterday.  I usually don't even attempt sleep in front of the TV, but maybe I should reconsider.
     
    Lucy - yup, it was a total me afternoon with no one to bug me.  No one.
  • tizzygirl said on Oct 29, 2008....
    I think I need one of those days, including the lasagna....only I think I want to spend it in a hotel so I don't have to worry about someone coming home and ruining it!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    tizzy - [thunks forehead with heel of palm]  Good Idea!!!  Why didn't I think of holing up in a hotel somewhere.  No picking up after myself, no unwanted company, TV and a clean bed I don't have to make ........ *grumbles to self*
  • mobil said on Oct 29, 2008....
    Take some time for you Uni, besides you're kinda mean when you're cranky.
     
    Get well soon Uni.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    mobil - I really had to giggle about that mean remark.  You're so right!!  I was probably a pain in the ass as a small child given my propensity to be mean when I'm cranky and tired.  Maybe all I need is a good nap every afternoon.
  • Me-Myself&I said on Oct 29, 2008....
    well girl if you need a sick day here and there for some extra R.& R......do so! be good to yourself. if it feels good do it. *smile* all seriousness.... take care of yourself!  i wish you only good things! ~see ya
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2008....
    MM&I - thanks.  I really just let it go too far some times.
  • queenparanoia said on Oct 29, 2008....

  • princessbitch65 said on Oct 29, 2008....
    OMG, I know exactly how you feel. I almost did that but I knew I had another week of vacation planned. My plans? Not a dang thing. Mental Health days rule!
  • silver_phoenix said on Oct 29, 2008....
    u-i= i'm so proud of you!!! theres a way out of anything ya don't wanna do or aren't feelin like doing!! i'd call in sick more often if i were you :-D
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 30, 2008....
    queenie - you bet!  We'll send out for a pizza and watch chick flicks.
     
    PB65 - Some how I've managed to rack up about 2 weeks of vacation that I have no plans for.  I don't have the money to do something "worthy" so it will just sit there until I figure out what to do with it.
     
    silver - my boss is kinda a stickler about that kind of thing.  I don't dare do it but once in awhile.
