toast: it’s what’s for dinner!
I am still without a dishwasher. STILL. And frankly, I’m furious. I’ve tried to be nice, but today I lost what little niceness was left in me. The constant pile of cups and spoons in the sink is making me lose my will to live, and the people at Sears are just pissing me off. Today I talked to the Appliances Department manager, and convinced her that she should refund both my delivery charge AND the charge to haul away the old dishwasher (as the delivery guy, it turns out, just drives the truck and unloads the merchandise; he doesn’t unhook the old machine or hook up the new one). The total of these two charges is what I will have to pay Chuck the Plumber to uninstall the old dishwasher, so I’m still only barely breaking even, but at least I’m closer to getting the damn thing taken care of AND I made my point with Sears.
But I hate them, with a white-hot hate.
I am also cranky because we cannot leave the house this afternoon, as we are STILL WAITING for the actualy dishwasher to actually be DELIVERED, which shoots all my plans to go swimming or to the bookstore or ANYWHERE AT ALL. And, to top it all off, I have to go out tonight when Wade gets home, to buy the damn fixtures for the bathroom, so that when Chuck the Plumber finally comes, I’m all ready for him to DO HIS JOB, which means that I cannot start drinking (because, my whole assertion that I’m not really a drinker aside, I COULD REALLY USE A DRINK ABOUT NOW).
So here’s what I want to know, Internet: what are you serving for dinner? ‘Cause I got nothin’ and I’m too angry to think constructively about feeding my family right now.

Order in. Chinese, pizza, whatever. Make it all plastic and throwaway. Go out right after you eat so that you can get home quickly for a cocktail. And stop stressing. It’s not good for your health!
