Well, this has been an absolutely horrendous day, the likes of which I hope not to repeat anytime soon.

We had to get up at an insanely early time this a.m. so we could 1)drop the dog off at home; 2) drop our car off at the garage; 3) pick M.'s mom up to take her for a cortizone shot at the hospital; 4) Drive 20 miles back out to where we're staying and pick up our client's check; 5) Drive another 20 miles to walk a couple of dogs; 6) drive ten miles to our next sit and  let another client's dogs out; 7)drive ten miles into downtown to drop off a check for the down payment for our client's new Saab; Drive 25 miles to the bank; 9) Go to the grocery store that's right around the block from the bank; 10) Pick up our car (another 5 miles) only to find out they can't fix the A/C for less than $995.99; 11)drove back to his mom's house to pick up the dog; 12) Stop for gas; 13) Drive another 20 miles to where we're doing our stay over.

Thought that would be it, but I got a crappy e-mail from my ex telling me all about how he and his new wife went to New York City for his birthday, and about his new blog, and how he's paying to put her through grad school now.  I should never have gone to see his blog---I wanted to see pictures of my kitties or I wouldn't have done it.

My ex is an absolute git.  A prat, full on.  He actually said "I'm a sucker, I'm sending another one back to grad school."  First, he didn't SEND me to grad school, I worked to go and I paid my way.  AND I think his new wife, who has worked at Microsoft much longer than he has and probably makes a very good wage, does NOT  need his permission to go back to school.

Plus, his blog is full of trite descriptions and dippy expository writing masking as "charming."  It's not, it just comes off being smarmy.  He cannot write honestly about anything seriously.  And I'm speaking as a critic of his writing, not as a nasty ex.  He may get better the more he writes, I hope so.

Anyway, tomorrow is another glorious day of cleaning houses and walking dogs, so I should toddle off to be.

Sorry this was such an acrimonious post, but I really needed to vent.  I feel better now.
