crapity crap

this year has started off with a fizzle.

i was sick on january 1.

now my car is effed up and i have to take it in tomorrow morning, which i dread with the same pit in my stomach as getting taxes done.

it seems in both cases there are always unwelcome surprises along the lines of "bend over and let me stick this huge pole up your you-know-what while you have to sit there and take it" then pay lots of money for the unpleasant encounter.

not to mention the fact that it's freezing degrees outside and too cold to walk greta, so she's acting like a brat and making work impossible.

top it all off with three client interviews today, mix well and scream.
