I have my own private black cloud. I'm looking to get rid of it. Anyone want to take it off my hands?
It moved in with me yesterday. I had tons of stuff in the fridge I don't buy just every day (bacon, mushrooms, buttermilk, etc.) and no ideas how to use it all up. I ended up making a kind of blah dinner that wasn't even enough food for DH. So while I usually make two suppers at a time, this worked out to be just one after everyone filled up.
So I had to walk to the grocery again today. Two days in a row, oof! It's not that long of a walk but it's a significant chunk of time out of my day, and I had already put off some chores from yesterday to today to accomodate my having gone to the store yesterday! So today I had twice as much to do.
So of course on a day I really need my energy...I wake up at 5 a.m. with a low blood sugar. Which means I slept for a total of 6 hours plus an hour's nap. Ugh.
So I get back from the store, only to find I have NO room in our tiny mini-fridge for the food I just bought (I have a lot of things in the fridge but nothing that will make a meal, go figure). So I plunk myself down on the floor to sort it out, in the process yanking my earphones out of my ears with my knee (you'd have to do some serious yoga to recreate that one!) I go to put my bag on the shelf in the living room where I usually store it, only to knock off one of our surround sound speakers.
As if all of that wasn't enough, I slipped on the stairs while carrying the laundry down to the washing machine. I landed on my butt and a little on my elbow. I'm sore and bruised (as is my dignity!) but thankfully nothing more. I realize a stair fall could've been much worse (and me with my health insurance card expired!) So I'm grateful for that at least.
But seriously, CLOUD FOR SALE! Any takers? Get this thing off me!

I just got rid of one just like that cloud! If somehow it's mine, you're welcome to give it to someone you don't like a lot. Sounds like it's been really working you over! -

Shake off that stinky cloud, NQ - you deserve better! I am glad you weren't hurt falling on the stairs. I don't want your cloud, but I can give you a little bit of my big butt in case you are planning any more stunts - sometimes, the cushion comes in handy! -

I have a storm brewing on the horizon for me that I would love to find shelter soon *grimace*
I found someone who´ll take your dark cloud off you, if you will just pin his tail on him!

U-I: darnit, you gave me your cloud! It seems to have wandered off today. It's probably gone off to take a scenic tour, maybe sample some local cuisine. Definitely your cloud!
Wishy: here's hoping I won't be doing anymore stair gymnastics! I can't even turn cartwheels so I'm not the most graceful of gymnasts! As much as I'm trying to do away with my own cushioning, if I fall again I will wish I had taken your offer. As it is today I am all jacked over to one side trying to ease off the cheek I bruised!
Paper: thanks! Aww such a sweetie that old Eeyore. Maybe he can help you out with your clouds...he looks like he wants to help! *hug*
DD: thanks! It seems to have taken your advice. Now if I can just get off my bruised butt and put the exercise tape in, today will be a good enough day for me!

This is for you...
In a puff of smoke, in an unceremonious way, one day it disappeared. :)
