Rough Start
Mar. 9th, 2011 09:43 amI only notice that my day has started off badly when I am, myself, feeling badly. So this is how my day started.
6.30- Wake up. The Boy's roommate with the room nearest the kitchen has asked that I don't make breakfast until after his alarm goes off at 7am, which is annoying but a reasonable request. Normally, I would shower in the 30 minutes in between, get dressed, and snuggle the Boy a bit more before getting breakfast. But there's someone in the show.
6.35 - Doze a bit, start awake, still someone in shower.
6.55- Still in shower.
7am- The bathroom still occupied, I go to check for breakfast. Only, I cannot tell the Boy's food from his roommates' breakfast food, and so I decide to forgo breakfast and buy something from the coffee shop before class.
7.10- The bathroom is free! I dart in an take a shower! Only to realize that the slow draining tub is now lightly coated in the sediment of the soap and shampoo that has settled in the pooled water around my ankles, and that showering is very dangerous. I keep one hand on the wall, and do a quick rinse and wet my hair so that it stops looking like I have mange.
7.15- The roommate who barred me from the kitchen before 7am is now knocking on the bathroom door, asking if there is any way that "we could speed this up." I should answer, "Not unless you want to help me towel off. I'll be out in two minutes." Instead, I leave the bathroom immediately.
7.17- My glasses are still in the bathroom, and now the Boy's other roommate is in the bathroom, so I have to wait him out. Hugs from Boy.
7.25- He's out of the bathroom! I get my glasses, grab my coat, and run out the door.
7.26. It's raining outside. Today I will be making the walk to and from school at least twice, and to and from church at least twice. My rain-appropriate footwear is either ugly and lightly crusted with dog shit, or really painful.
7.51- At school! Lots of time to get coffee! Coffee shop is staffed by nice people that I like! Who are running behind, so there is one really dark kind of coffee (bleh) and no milk out, and I'm exercising "niceness through nonresponiveness" because if I get beyond "Hi, how are you- great-small coffee please" right now I will bite at someone.
Did I mention that it's Ash Wednesday? The beginning of Lent, the season in which the lovely organ music leaves the church and we have dreary tiredness? And I'm supposed to have a Lenten practice to be holy and self-improving and I'm just not feeling it right now?
