A thousand pieces.
There are literally a thousand pieces on the floor.
I have to leave in 30 minutes and there is nothing but the stupid eye pieces.
I walk out in the morning and I leave my outfit ready for tonight so all I need to do is dash home. Change. And I would ready.
My dog clearly had different ideas
My dog wanted to destroy.
My dog wanted to make a statement.
He wanted to set out a path of destruction that to any casual observer would appear to be a forward thinking act of retribution. An act planned out. After a clear failing, by me, to leave enough water out across his 3 bowls. As I should have known he would tip all 3 over. An act to wreak havoc on plans that did not include him.
For one evening.
Urgh. Get a puppy they said.
It would be good company they said.
No one said that they would find a way to jump up and destroy the one time you look at having a night to attempt to rebuild your life!
So what was to be a night with friends. Dressed up with a costume that took weeks to find, alter, and fit. Will now be made out of the contents of any drawer I can find things in that might go together.
Rolling pin?
Ha! Useless.
Scissors, well they are useful if I can find something to cut.
Urgh. Old Jeans? What and turn up as an 80s rocker again?
Here I am sat on the floor and I am using the old costume from last year?
So I now look to the bulk buying and my options are to reuse old clothes with the old costume idea.
Or.
To use the many boxes of foil and be a tin man or become a mummy.
Well if the yellow brick road is to end in me getting my heart, I guess I might as well go as the tin man.
Urgh!
