The Irony Can't Be Denied

I'm so exhausted, I could cry (or is that the PMS? Actually, it's both), but I made it through! I get to enjoy a whole 3 days off (which are going to fly by entirely too fast). I plan on making the most of it. Tomorrow is our anniversary, and Snookums has something planned. I have no idea what, but I know it doesn't involve laying in bed all day, letting the day pass me by.

Work was painful today. I honestly didn't give a single fuck about sales, or numbers. I did the bare minimum to get through the day. I don't even feel bad about it. I'm totally burned out. I still managed to do what was required of me, nothing could make me not perform. I just definitely didn't go above and beyond. I'll be back on top come the 26th. I want to end the month strong, since I'm basically where I'd be any given month. I really thought I'd have better numbers during holiday. Oh well, I'm not too concerned about it.

Snookums took the RAV into the shop because it's been running rough. I haven't driven the RAV in well over a year, so I don't know what it's normal sounds are, but even I could tell it hasn't been sounding right. The diagnosis wasn't what we expected. Two misfiring cylinders... and extensive rat damage. Yep, you read that right. Rat damaged. Apparently rats have been crawling up into the engine compartment, stealing insulation and chewing up wires. Why? Yet another drawback of country living I've never heard anyone else having an issue with. Rats caused $600 worth of damage to our vehicle's engine. It boggles the mind. I feel like they should just know that I'm vegan and not going to hurt them. They should be able to sense that, and cut me some slack. I kid. But really, the irony can't be denied.

I'm feeling slightly silly about it, but while at Target tonight I made a new friend. As I was walking through their seasonal section (which right now is Christmas stuff, obviously), I locked eyes with the sweetest-looking little teddy bear I've seen in a long while. He was marked down 50%, along with maybe 5 or 6 more of his kind. But there was something about him. I decided to bring him home with me. I've named him Jerry. He's great for cuddling. I don't know what in my damaged, emotionally stunted psyche decided I need a teddy bear, but having him in bed next to me has been somewhat comforting. I think I'll cuddle him as I fall asleep... which will be happening right about now.
