I just want my four pair of underwear.
And my (deceased) mother's earrings fixed so I can wear them.
And my eBay purchase that I paid for the moment I won.
I want my new email server to be working, and for the cable company to fix whatever problem caused it.
And I want my home phone number back.

All of these things should have been easily solved, really.

The details, the maddening make me crazy details of just these above items, I will spare you. Because really, if I do get into it, get into every little hairy slice of red tape of it, then you, too, will go mad. I am sure of it. And because I love you, whomever you happen to be, I will spare you the details. For now, at least.

Here I am, just trying to finish some little stuff up at 8 pm on a Monday night. I could be zoning out to TV or finishing up that felted mermaid I promised my five year old daughter for her birthday two months ago, but instead I have chosen to waste hours bogged down in the bowels of the cable company, eBay, and Nordstrom.com. It's so depressing and sad to be yelling at nice-sounding Southern gentlemen who work at a call station in the middle of the night wherever he is because your underwear hasn't been delivered and because you have a long standing gripe with your local branch of the USPS.

Seriously, is this the best way to spend a night of my life? I have been disconnected by the cable company 3 times today. Once, online, and twice on the phone. I'm just trying to get my email fixed, people.

Thank God my husband brought me home a fancy Halloween cupcake tonight. At least someone loves me. And I know this because he had to stand in line for it, most likely outside on the sidewalk under the hot, hot, LA noontime sun.

It's the little things, you know.
