Candy Making

Quote of the day:

"The only reason a Pity Party is necessary is when no one else feels bad for you. But that should be a hint. Stop talking"

As you can clearly see, Its been one of those days. For no specific reason. I just kind of woke up in a grumpy mood. Maybe its the contractions, or the fact that I slept poorly, or maybe its just the weather. Who can say really? I spent the day a little on the grumpy side though.

Needless to say, As normal Picerne made the top of my "Mean" list today. I found out that someone who has been having similar issues to us in their neighborhood (Minus their dogs being stolen, and the vandalism) are getting a new home, when my neighborhood director told me I was basically stuck. So I filed a complaint, again, explaining that I think they could do with a little bit of standardization across their board as far as policy. I mean honestly, this lady is complaining about noise, and that all and their moving. We've had our dogs taken from our yard, and called the MP's numerous times, and had the upstairs neighbors vandalize my property, but we can't move..... YEA. So I filed a long formal complaint, and they called Nathan today asking when they could set up a meeting with Nate and myself. So Tuesday at 11:00 it is. I am nervous, but I was talking to Nate and I said to him, it isn't even about them moving us at this point. We've painted, we've made this a home, but it really is about principal. Hopefully we get through this meeting fine.

Nate came home at 2 today, shocking because I figured he'd be late since all this week he was home very early. I guess all the big wigs had a holiday party though and it was him, Sgt. Clarke and Spc. Ogburn work so they all went home. We decided to go to Manhatten to get things for me to make more candy. I'm going to make it for him to take to his Co-Workers, and some of our friends out here. Hopefully I can make enough to get some sent to family as well. I got I believe 6 things of flavor, more sugar and more Karo syrup. So I can effectively make 6 batches, and possibly more as I am pretty sure I have more flavor in my cupboard somewhere. Today I got Strawberry, Raspberry and Creme Mint and a 3rd mold. I think I have Sperement in my cupboard, and banana but I can't remember if I do or not. I will find out tomorrow I guess. We watch NCIS, ate dinner and we are now getting ready for bed. Spending time with Nate honestly made me feel better, and even contracting I didn't feel as grouchy anymore.

Other than that, today was slow. Tomorrow should also be pretty lame, other than candy making and maybe hanging out with the Ogburn's.
