This is almost a "oh-woe-is-me", cranky Sat. morning entry. I was asked to come in to work today and even though I of course was looking forward to not being at that place for two days (especially after a crazy and exhausting Friday on the job), I said "why, yes I would come in."

i need
more time..more time to get things done here at home and more time in general.

i want
a job where there isn't so much drama sometimes. Not having to deal with the general public might be nice for a time, too. (yeah, yeah...I know deep down that I am lucky to have a job in this economy...but....gotta complain anyway.)

i listen
to silence on a Satuday morning. No birds singing, everyone else asleep...only the hum of the monitor.

i feel

drained and lifeless today--not the best way to begin the day.

i watch
it becoming lighter outside-- the sky a gentle baby aspirin peachy pink behind the trees

i play
not so much lately--being on the internet for a half hour this morning is as close to playing as I might get today.

i read
Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress by Susan Jane Gilman--got through two chapters only so far and nearly dropped it in the tub last night.

i eat
some Trader Joe's boxed granola cereal and milk--not as good as I had hoped. Need (more time!) to make some granola from scratch...

*Update:

I am now at work and determined to be in a better mood. As I drove in, I listened to a radio account of living conditions in North Korea and the cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe. Makes my pitiful complaining seem pretty lame.
