You Think I'm Anal!?

I know I like things a certain way and it makes me twitch sometimes if I don't get my way or if things veer off my desired route but Jim's worse. So yesterday Jim cleaned and coated the two wooden tables and Adirondack rockers on the front deck. With the chairs, he ended up sanding the arm rests because they needed it. In doing so, he took off the stain so that they were the natural color. This was fine but he didn't do it to the whole chair and he was just going to leave it like that. Thankfully I saw what was happening before he shellacked them and we found a close stain to use. So there's that. He was just going to leave it like that which would have looked stupid. 

Fast forward to this morning. The chairs dried overnight in the driveway and are ready to go back to the deck. However, after Jim returned from walking Boo, he said, "I'm going to go resand the arms." Me, "What?! No! It's not necessary! Just put them back on the porch. You never even sit there anyway!" He said, "But it's bumpy. It won't take long and they'll be dry by this afternoon! I don't know why I even said anything to you!" (Which is true...he should've just done it because I'd have been none the wiser.) So I let him do his thing ("let"...ha!) and really I don't care other than he wastes so much time doing stupid shit but again, why do I care? 

Anyway, my whole point is, I'm anal but I'm always anal. With Jim? His analness is so unpredictable and it drives me nuts. Oh well...I married him, right? 

Today Jim and I will be going to Costco. I want to get there right when they open but I still need to do yoga so it might be a little after. We just need the basics but taking Jim with me always means we'll end up with much more than we need. After we come home and drop everything off, we'll go out to lunch. I originally said Skyline but we'll see what he wants to have. 

Last night for dinner I made sausage patties and still have some leftover so I'll probably have that again for dinner. It was delicious. 

I hate our local news station - channel 5. Today as I sat down to sip coffee at 6:30, they announced how today is a "special day". Why? Because it's Channel 5's special "Back to school" extravaganza. I was so fucking pissed hearing that. I mean what the hell!? Don't they know they're breaking my heart and sending me into a damn depression before I even finish my first cup of coffee. They're going to get a scathing email from me. 

Speaking of scathing emails, I was finally able to pay the parking ticket for the golf cart. But only after I emailed and then had to email them the ticket number so they could enter it into their system. In the end, after I paid I sent an email saying, "The ticket has been paid. I do, however, find it ridiculous that I had to work so hard to do so. The village needs to do better if you're going to unnecessarily ticket islanders." Assholes.

Okay, time to get a move on; yoga, shower, Costco, lunch. Happy Wednesday. Later!
