what about taking a jog or something?  would that help?  or is there a tiny little gym in etna or yreka that you could go to and just pay the one-day fee and work your frustrations out?  that sounds awful! 

for some reason, it reminded me of a conversation i had with justin monday night.  cuz monday, he washed up like... 7 plates and some silverwear.  we have a whole pile of dishes from the weekend... but that's what he did.  that was cool.  we needed that for dinner with everyone monday night.

monday night comes and we have garret and martha and G & L over for corned beef and cabbage.  plates and silverwear are dirtied.  we also had pie for dessert, which means another round of silverwear.

monday night, i offer to make us dinner with the leftover stuff (the hash and eggs i made).  so i'm dicing up corned beef, got the skillet getting hot to cook in, then after that i've gotta cook the eggs too.  so i ask him if he'd mind doing a quick load of plates and silverwear whilst i cook. (we didn't have any forks and only one plate.)

"um, yeah, i do mind.  i did a load yesterday."  "um..... okay, but i'm cooking?"  "well i really don't feel like doing dishes," he says to me.

i stand there, flabbergasted.  this is very unlike justin, and there were a lot of choice things i wanted to say cuz i was pissed, but i'm not much of a fighter.  so i was thinking, "well fuck him! he can make his own fucking eggs and i'll use the ONE plate left and wash my own shit!"  so i start throwing the silverwear and plates into the dishpan all angry-like and while my potatoes are frying, i'm washing plates and i'm MAD!

he comes over and is like, "why are you doing dishes!?"  and i go, "well, if we want to eat, then someone's gotta do them and i thought you could since i'm cooking, but i guess not!"  "why don't you just use what i washed yesterday!" he argues, his voice raising.  so i raise mine too, "cuz they all got dirty with dinner last night!" and i throw another plate into the sink to emphasize my point.

he gets all shamed looking, looks in the cupboard and the silverware drawer and goes, "oh.  well i didn't know that!  here, i'll wash."  "no, that's fine, i got it." (i'm almost done with the plates.) and he goes to touch my potatoes, which need to NOT be touched so they crisp up and i'm like, "don't you touch my potatoes!"  he has a habit of "toying" with food when it should just be left alone to cook, heheh.

he goes, "well i gotta do something or i'm going to feel like a butt now."  heheheh!  aww, it was so puppy-doggish and pathetic that i let him finish the dishes while i finished dinner.

sorry, that wasn't really related to your shitty day... but it made me think of it.
