Torn
Today was a bad day. First, I got zero sleep last night. We have new people living in the apartment on the second floor and I swear I haven't slept since they moved in. All we hear is the sound of one of them walking around- late at night and early in the morning- and we're not just talking about a light walk, it sounds like a great big animal stomping around. I know I'm a light sleeper but even Frankie was wide awake for this last night and this morning. It wasn't pleasant. And the fact that we are friends with the two girls who live there doesn't make it any easier. Frankie said he talked to one of them today- let's hope they took him seriously and I can get some sleep tonight.
Then I went to my usual subway station to cash in my transit checks and get my metrocards for the month. The Houston Street 1 and 9 station no longer has clerks that can take money! They are now simply there as an information booth. Now I need to find somebody who goes to a subway station with a real live clerk who can sell metrocards to cash in my transit checks and get my card each month. The MTA sucks!
So now I go into the office and here is the kicker of the day. I sit down and notice there is a rip in the inside seam of my pants. I knew I felt a breeze earlier. So what do I do now? Sit at my desk all day and try to hide it? I could feel that it was because the stitch was loose which meant it was only going to grow as the day went on. So I emailed a few people to see who had a sewing kit. Luckily Rachel suggested Jennifer who happened to have one. So now I have the sewing kit in my hand and it hits me...I can't sew. Anybody who knows me knows that I am not exactly the domestic type. So I gave it my best shot. There I was, sitting in my office with the door closed, no pants on and late for a meeting...it would have made for a great episode of The Office. Luckily I was able to sew the pants (and I have to admit- I did a pretty good job). But of course I spent a good part of the day staring down in between my legs to make sure it didn't rip again.
The good part of today? Yes, something good did happen. I have a new baby cousin! My cousin Suzanne gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Sean Michael Irving was born this afternoon and weighed in at a little over 6 pounds and 20 inches long. So congrats to Sean and Suzanne! Baby Sean is the first of two cousins to be born this year. All I know is my mom is going to have to buy alot of pajamas this Christmas.
