The title of this post is an homage to my awesome bestie Anne (you are too Cookieđź’•)! When ever anything went wrong, Anne would, in a very annoyed tone of voice yell "WHY ME?? WHY NOT THE NEIGHBOURS??" It has become something of a saying in our family and we chuckle every time we use it.
But I sure as hell was not chuckling today. I am cash strapped right now. I have enough money for sure but it is all tied up. So now I am super budgeting...which suits me fine. I am used to it.
Today Monte took me around to various places I needed to go. Walmart, dollar store, bank etc... It was a lovely day. I was getting some bedding for the guest room. I am combining what I have with new stuff I need.
Well I landed on the most beautiful comforter. It is all white with an embossed type design. I absolutely fell in love with it. Unfortunately it was 79 bucks. For Walmart that is pretty high I feel. But I bought it anyway.
As soon as I got home I took it straight down the hall to the bedroom to snip the ties that bound it and spread it out to take a look. It is absolutely right up my alley. As I spread it out I suddenly noticed red blood stains right smack in the middle of the right side up side. The stain wasn't very big but there it was. It suddenly dawned on me that after watching a million killer forensic shows that blood stains are only red when they are fresh. And I wasn't bleeding anywhere.
I pulled the comforter towards me and took a closer look and touched the little area and realized it was wax!!! I smelled it. And goddammit!!!! It was the apple smell of the wax warmer in the hallway. Somehow I must have brushed the top of that frigging thing and it is too full. I knew that too cuz it has been bumped before and there is red wax all over the wall and running down to the floor. I just haven't got around to fixing all that. Wouldn't you just know. This sort of thing happens to me all the time and it is my own damned fault ..... every time! You'd think I would learn. But I don't seem to.
I am now sitting in my comfort zone recliner, pouting, sipping on my slurpee I got when we stopped at 7/11, fighting off a killer brain freeze (shovel list, why me why not the neighbours) sulking like a pro. I asked my third best friend, AI, how to get wax out of the bedding. So I shall fix it...later.
All in all it was a good day though. If I can figure out how I will post pics here after I get the bed sheets arriving tomorrow from Amazon. And next post I have quite a story to tell you, a sad thing that happened to Monte, and a complete coincidental incident that happened today. In the meantime TFL&TTYL
