I really was in a good mood today. You just wouldn't have known it had you come by tonight for a visit.
After a great lunch with my favorite coworkers "debriefing" and a fairly productive afternoon at work, I came home to find that Blu had eaten Jeff's climbing rose - the very one that's survived several tillers and lots of neglect until he built a fence for it to climb - AND the honeysuckle plant. Why she decided to eat a thorny rose plant and the one honeysuckle that actually flowers I will never know.
Oh, and did I mention I had sprinkled Tabasco sauce all over them to deter her? Apparently Blu likes spice.
Knowing how close Blu came to losing her life a few weeks ago when she'd eaten another plant, this set me off! I was a major grouch, yelling at the dog, snapping at Jeff, banging pots and pans as I made dinner. Then getting all worked up about the house being a mess, the laundry piled to the ceiling, the work I didn't get done, and all the scrambling I seem to do with YW activities, family/homemaking obligations, dog walking, work, and baby shower planning I'd yet to do for tomorrow.
It was bad.
So bad that only a bag of Halloween Oreos could make me feel better. Thank Heavens for Nabisco!
