Want some cheese with that whine?

I'm whining and I know it, there are people with worse problems than mine and I know it, but this is my blog and if you don't like it, read the Straight & Shiney Chronicles. That's just how sassy I'm feeling right now.

Today's Reasons:

• I am sick. Like sinus infection, sounding like Janice on Friends, waking up in puddles of drool and snot sick.
• I was bitten by a student today.
  
• Parent/Teacher conferences are this week.
• I have work, plus afterschool program, plus class, plus evening conferences tomorrow, which means I will actually be in the building from 7am to 9pm.
  
• I cut my finger on a broken Snapple bottle.
• PMS.
  
• I used a plate to cover my frozen Wegman's meatballs in the microwave, but they weren't cooking, and I attributed this to the fact that my Wegman's dishes are so earthen and sturdy that the heat of the micro-waves could not possibly penetrate them, and so I recovered the bowl with plastic wrap, which melted to the bowl.
  
• My apartment is a gross and dirty mess, complete with overflowing trash, crusty dishes, piles of snotty tissues, loads and loads of need-to-be-washed clothes, and a ring in the toilet.
• I have $34 in my checking account.
  
• I miss Alex. I just saw him on Sunday. But still.

The Bright Side (so I don't alienate all of my reader...)

• It's not scurvy.
• I had on long sleeves, so there is no broken skin-- only bruises in the shape of teeth.
• I only have 5 students.
• I have a job... and an education?
  
• The wound is small.
• At least I can still have children...
• The meatballs are fabulous. So is the Wegman's bolognese sauce and Wegman's shells I made them with. (A prize to anyone who can guess where I do my grocery shoppping.)
• I have my own apartment.
• Payday is Thursday, but direct deposit goes in tomorrow.
• Alex will call tonight and cheer me up, because he always does.
