LONG WEEK IS LONG AND IT’S ONLY TUESDAY!




(Well, Wednesday now)

Two days into the week and I’ve already had enough heart attacks (caused by my stupidity) to last me until I finally and glamorously keel over and die of a drug overdose on the eve of my 25th birthday. You could say I haven’t been having a good week and I can only hope that the sucktitude has reached its peak when I accidentally deleted Adobe Photoshop on my office-issued Mac machine this morning, five minutes into my shift.

Wonderful, isn’t it. Like getting a car insurance online quote. What a techno-genius, this Helga.

When I finally got home from work, there was a merry group of beady red ants convening on my bed. MY BED! I swallowed my fear of the evil creepy-crawlies and— one by one— squished them between my index finger and thumb, gleefully exclaiming DEAD! with every kill. Nuking them with insect spray would’ve been easier but that would require asking my dad where he keeps the spray can which would trigger a slew of questions which would eventually lead him and my mom into banning me from snacking while in bed. Living with the parentals is an everyday challenge, I tells ya.

Enough thinking out loud. It’s an hour into Wednesday aka Hump Day and everything’s going smoothly. The internets is not acting up (or conking out like it did on me, Monday early morning) and the weather is perfect for sleeping in (yes, it’s 1 in the morning and I’m thinking about sleeping in). But I can’t. I hope everyone’s been having a better last-two-weeks than I am.

If you’re at work now, I bet you’re wishing you stayed home… I know I am. If it weren’t for yesterday and Monday being a holiday, I definitely would’ve.

Ew I don’t know how you can squish ants on your bed… so brave! LMAO. If I ever saw creepies on my bed, I swear I’d throw my bed away and not sleep in my room for 3 months. *shudder

Anyway, I hope you get better days soon!

The sucky weeks just make the good ones seem even better.

Unless you have loads of sucky weeks in a row, then you start feeling like throwing yourself off the nearest bridge might be the easier option.

You squished them with your fingers?! Over here the red ants bite and it hurts like a bitch.

ACK!! I would have freaked out if I had ants in my bed. Are the red one the ones who bite? At least you managed to kill them all. And as for snacking in the bed, Keith always gripes at me since I make tons of crumbs, lol. I’m guilty as charged.

Hope you slept in over the weekend, and that your week goes easier than the past few!

Oh my gosh… I would have screamed if I saw all those ants. I wouldn’t even be willing to return to my bed, I would just through it out or else get an extinguisher. Done!!

Oh, I hate those tiny little ants. Actually, they’re all pretty annoying, no matter their size or biting power. And, I think you need to stop snacking on your bed. Hahaha. x]

Hope your sucky week turns out a lot better than expected! :)
