"So do you have problems with heartburn too?"

What a day!

It started with me waking up at 4 am with cramps from hell. Then, after getting up, taking an ibuprofen and telling the cats about 20 times that it's not time for breakfast yet, of course I couldn't get back to sleep.
I didn't get up when the alarm rang and made it to work at 1 fucking 30 pm.
I was supposed to have a meeting with my social worker this afternoon and my boss did try to make me go (it is sweet how caring he is) but I was pretty glad to have an excuse to blow it off. Since she told me that she's pregnant, she's different. More reserved and detached somehow. Maybe it is because I didn't congratulate her but then I just don't get how having babies is the greatest thing in the world.
Especially not if they turn out to be little shitheads like the one I had the joy to listen to when I was outside for a few minutes this noon. It was just screaming its head off and the mother kept saying "I'm going to have lunch on my own then. It's getting cold and I don't want to eat cold food." about 20 times in a row. At some point I just hollored at her to shut up and just do it then but I don't think she heard me.

Anyhow, I ended up working till eight just to get enough hours in. And of course after work I couldn't go straight home because I forgot to get something at the supermarket yesterday. So while I was freezing my ass off at the traffic lights (funny how it's so much colder at night with the sun gone...) this little dodgy looking guy leaned into me. I was listening to music LOUD on my headphones so I couldn't hear him but when I pulled one of them out he was going on about his heartburn. I just glared at him and pointedly put it back in. Didn't help though.
At least the extra trip to the supermarket gave me an excuse to buy beer. And I need it! I'm really tense right now, chewing my fingernails and picking my scalp. And the fucking computer just pooped out on me. At least this auto-save business seems to work!
