Today was less great...

Today was less great, but I'll admit that a lot of it was due to my attitude.

I woke up early because I heard Rose barking like she does when she needs to go out in the morning.  Hey, props to her for letting us know - we appreciate it.  I hate to admit that Shaun is usually the one to get up with them and let me sleep in.  I don't know how that became the norm, but I've been going to bed earlier lately and today I was like "Nah, he can sleep and I'll deal with the dogs."

I got up and let them out.  Made my normal breakfast of oatmeal and fog tea.  Took my meds and drank a bunch of water.  Let the dogs back in and watched Rose eat a whole bowl of food (thank goodness).  Then we settled in on the couch where I mindlessly and unhappily scrolled because I didn't know what to do with myself.  😂😂😂

I guess the mindless scrolling wasn't hitting the spot because later I woke up to the doorbell ringing and it was the electrician here to work on the sunroom.  Shaun woke up and came down in case the electrician had questions for him.  Shaun seemed frazzled because I'm sure he just stood up and threw on clothes when he heard the doorbell ring.  It also doesn't help his anxiety when people are working on the house.  Since we are both big into doing things ourselves it feels really awkward to be sitting here while someone else works.

Anyway, I sent Shaun to his game room and told him I'd keep and ear / eye out on the dogs.  Rose barked pretty constantly the whole day no matter what any of us did.  It wasn't super fun.  I managed to get a few things done on my Lappy that I'd been meaning to do so I guess that's something.

I got an alert on my phone that we're having some winter storm weather starting early tomorrow morning.  We might be getting some snow.  So... our sunroom might not be finished until later this week because the electrician left today without completing the job.  He left early yesterday having barely done anything.  I'm pretty frustrated and ready for this to be over with.

Look, the sunroom has places pre-made into it for the wires and conduit to run.  He just needed to put in some boxes and wire some switches and I'm failing to see how this should be a 3-day job.  No, I'm not an electrician or an expert in the field, but I've watched Shaun do some pretty intense electrical work (he learned from his dad) in far less time than this without even having all of the proper tools.

I'm not about to go all "Karen" on anyone, but my gosh I'm allowed to say that my patience is running thin.  I want to get this stupid dog adjusted to the sunroom and calm before she has surgery.  I want to put my plants on shelves and see who's gonna live.  We want to move the litterboxes out there, and I want to shampoo the carpeted area where they were once we move them.  We can't do any of that until the sunroom is completed and I'm not enjoying trying to psych myself up to do this work (especially because the dumb dog and the plants are going to mess with me emotionally) only to keep having the date I actually have to confront all of this moved on me.

Anyway, I suppose this turned into a vent / rant and I didn't mean for it to, but like I said - my attitude isn't the best today.  I don't know why.  It was cloudy and maybe I missed my sunbeams.  I don't really care for days without sunbeams, I've found.

Well, I'm going away.  Hopefully my bad attitude doesn't rub off on anyone else.  Be better than I am today.  You can do it!
