So last night I was all “Whee! Relaxed! Blissful!” Today I returned to reality. Traffic was pretty light this morning, which made for a nice drive in to work, but then the fun really started. My work computer just up and died. You know you’re screwed when IT tells you they have no idea what the problem is with your machine. It’s one thing when I can’t figure out what is going on with my computers. It’s something completely different when the smart guys don’t know what the deal is.

So my computer was out of commission for most of the day. They gave me a loaner, but it didn’t have my stuff installed which was kind of a hassle. And I had meetings. Lots of meetings. Perhaps it was just the usual back to work after four days off ennui, but man, I could not seem to get anything accomplished the way I wanted to today. And they had to reformat my computer to get it working again, so I lost all these graphics I had saved on the hard drive, and all my saved passwords and login info, and I had to go re-download a bunch of crap.

Then I got to thinking about how all I wanted to do was get a pizza and fries and come home and sit on the couch eating cupcakes. But I can’t do that because I have stupid diabetes and I don’t get to eat junk food anymore. Also, we don’t have any pizza, cupcakes or French fries. So instead I sat in traffic (because it was raining), and came home and worked out and then had a baked potato for dinner, which should have made me feel virtuous, but really just made me even more cranky.

Stupid Monday.
