CRANKY

I seriously don't know why but I have been particularly cranky and impatient lately. The poor dogs are hiding from me and I am pretty sure a few inanimate objects would hide if they only could. Everything is annoying me. Especially the dogs. Molly is basically okay but frigging Parker is driving me nuts. He is constantly wanting out. He disappears. He pees for three solid minutes (I timed him). Like right now. Its one thirty in the morning and he comes and bashes and bashes me until I get up and let him out. Then he is gone for at least twenty minutes. And he will be doing it all over again in two hours and then two hours after that. I am DONE!!!!!!!

I have been practising. But I am afraid my piano music ended up all over the living room in a childish fit of rage. I started to pack out in the garage but things, a lot of things, were being flung into a garbage can to be taken to the dump. Its dangerous…I had best just sit in a chair and not move or think.

And that brings me to another annoyance. I got a fine from the District today. Unbeknownst to me as of Jan 1st we were not allowed to put scraps and compost in the garbage. I did not know. I understand metro Van. has done that but I had no idea stupid Alpine started to do this. You see, the mayor of Langford owns everything. He owns the umbrella company called Alpine…you know, Alpine Credits and Alpine everything else. So this guy owns the only garbage pickup in Langford and isn't really allowing anything else to develop. So for a hundred bucks a month I get a garbage can and weekly pickup. And now I am informed I have to spend another five bucks to rent a compost can. Jeez! And the pages of rules on what goes where that came with the fine is ridiculous. Oh well at least we don't have bears.

Actually I think I know whats wrong. My house is waaaay too clean. Every corner except the garage is organized and clean. And it stays that way with just me in it. The kitchen doesn't even get dirty. And with the housekeeper coming every week its squeaky clean. And that makes me nervous. I am used to battling mess. It used to be a full time job. Now I look around and literally there is nothing to do. But…there is always the garage. That keeps me grounded somewhat!

I have very special company coming this weekend. I am so excited! I shall reveal who this weekend…just in case things fall through. So I am going to make some plans, do a little baking and dust off the wine bottles in the corner. Plus I need to go down and make some beds.

So I am signing off here. Cranky pants needs to go to sleep. Its just too easy to stay up all night…especially when you know a certain animal is going to bash you awake in a couple of hours. TTYL (random pics today)
