Everything I Like Causes Cancer

Things I am hating right this instant:

• That my car battery was dead this morning when I went out to leave for work.
• That we're having torrential rainstorms only days after getting 8 inches of snow.
• That traffic was so effing bad that even though I left work with an hour and forty minutes left to vote, I barely made it.
• That I had to run in the torrential rain across a huge street and schoolyard to get to the front door of the school where I vote only to find that you're only allowed in the back of the school to vote. This was not the case last year. When I voted in the morning. Because my car started.
• That I couldn't wear my warm coat today because Skylar turned over a vase of fresh flowers all over it (and the dining room table, and the dining room chairs, and an antique table runner) in order to get a drink. His water bowl was full and less than 10 feet away.
• That Randy Jackson ALWAYS says, "A hundred million percent yes!" This is mathematically impossible and makes me yell profanities at my TV.
• That my kitchen floor is covered in crumbs and they are sticking to my wet socks.
• That I can't sweep the crumbs because my broom is still on the back porch from clearing the snow and now it's soaking wet from the rain.

But you know what? A woman and a black man were on my ballot tonight. I love the progression that implies.
