Mondays
I hate getting up and getting ready in the morning. It's not the getting out of bed, or the brushing of the teeth or anything in particular I hate, I just hate that there's this 30-45 minute chunk of time between when my alarm clock goes off and when I can actually sit-down and start being productive.
Some people claim they use this time to pray or meditate or all pious like that. All I do is think about all the things I have to do, that I can't do, because I'm sitting here in the shower washing my damn hair.
I also hate that my house isn't a completely self-sufficient bubble. Yes, I know that sounds nuts, but hear me out. I work out of my house, and I have no car since April's blew up and she needs my truck to get back an forth to school. To be able to work comfortably, other than my computer, I only require a couple of things. The first is Diet Coke, and the second is Camel Lights.
Now, when I run out of either, I don't have a vehicle to run and buy anymore. Nor do I have any cash, so it means I have to run by the bank, which in turn means the entire excursion (which will only occur if I can get a friend to give me a ride) is now pushing 45 minutes to an hour.
Now, you might think that what I'm resenting is the fact I don't have wheels. You might think that what I should resent is the fact I need (am addicted to) these two items. No, I'm much more self-centered then that, what I resent is that I don't have those two things available to me in a constant supply in my house.

If it wasn't for my need for a cold can of coke (or 6) to get me through the day, I wouldn't leave the house most days, either. My wife is planning to buy a special refrigerator for my home office so I don't have to go out as often & don't have to walk all the way across the house for a refill.

Now THAT is genius. Now, if after April and I get back from our honeymoon, and we do a more permanent budget, and if we determinin' that we can afford broadband, I'm definately gonna get me a fridge like that.
I'd like to create a complete life-support system around my desk. It should have a built in urinal or something like that.

You could start growing your own tobacco in the garden. Don't know what you could do about the coke though.

you could drive your fiance where she needs to go and retain possession of your automobile...

rd,
Josiah is extremely kind to let me use his truck. As I live on top of a mountain and am running to and from school quite often, it is usually easier for me to take Josiah places, instead of the other way around. I think that his relinquishing the truck is the greatest expression of his love that he could make. (I take mobility very seriously!)
