'it's cloud illusions i recall....'

i am so tired. eyes hurting kind of tired. no-amount-of-hot-water-pouring-over-your-head-can-make-you-anything-other-than-TIRED tired. i got up early this morning because in THEORY, the maintenance people in our building were to come and deal with an issue in the bathroom. see? i SO called it about this whole shower thing. okay, no, the ceiling has not caved in, BUT we have a rather serious pipe leakage that has worked its way into both our shower and the linen closet [read: rusty water dripping down the walls and pretty much ruining everything].

so anyway, they promise me that this will take place first thing on Monday morning. first thing in my mind is 8-ish, so i get up early, shower and get out of the way so that they can begin their work. um....yeah. at this point, it's after 10 and they have yet to show. punks. i'm wondering if they'll even come at all.

and to be completely honest, if this were the only thing that had gone wrong this weekend, i'm wagering that i wouldn't be that upset. but it was just one in an inordinately long list of things that, frankly, got way under my skin and has left me feeling rather grumpy.

on a lighter note (and in the spirit of the 'silver lining' theory), i will say that i'm rather looking forward to the potential of hanging out with a certain someone this afternoon:).....AND i was able to get some cleaning out of the way in all of my free time this morning. so, while i am not miss mary sunshine about everything going on right now, i am, at the very least, attempting to find the bright side in all of this.

and there may be a bit of blue sky breaking through just yet....
