A Little Knitting Helps

So I had a really crappy day.

I was waiting for the UPS man to come and bring me my new IR Cable for my TiVo, in the hopes that it will be the solution to my TiVo problems. And I go to the online tracking, and see that UPS claims to have attempted delivery and noted that there was noone to sign. Sure, there's nobody here to sign if you don't ring my freaking doorbell to let me know you're here, you stupid freak!

Anyhow, after I called UPS and promised that I wouldn't pay for the overnight shipping I didn't get, I went to Lincoln Center. Where it promptly started to rain and thunder and be all terrible storm-like. And so I had to buy an umbrella since I had a three hour opera to sit through and hadn't eaten anything yet. (What, I hadn't left the house. I was waiting for the UPS guy!)

I had a decent dinner (from the food "bar" at Whole Foods. Mostly yummy, but overpriced, and the red lentil/coconut milk soup is nasty. Threw that away.

Then I went to the opera, where, unbeknownst to me, I had been issued tickets in the "talking a lot" section. I seriously wanted to slap everyone. Including a couple of the singers.

Finally, I came home, and had a burger delivered. Only they wrote down the wrong address so by the time they finally got here, the burger was cold but I still felt compelled to give a nice tip because, after all, it wasn't the delivery guy's fault that the order taker messed up.

At least I got three more rows (just rows, not rows of blocks, I'm not that superhuman) done on the Rosetta Blankie.

And now I get to go to sleep...
