Dammit. I need to go to bed. I want to go to bed. I might've could've gotten to bed on time tonight. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The ***** washing machine is acting up again and holding my soapy wet clothes hostage. Grrr.

Note to self: Never use the Heavy Soil cycle again. It often gives me problems.

And while I'm ranting anyway.

What is it with people who have these long boring-sounding telephone conversations while sitting on the toilet in one of the stalls in the bathroom at work?

And what is it with people who don't turn off or silence their cellphones in a movie theater, with the reasoning, "Noone is going to call me." And yet someone else just called them. "They're the only person who would call me, and I told them I'm at the movies. So they won't call again." Oh, really, you're sure about that? I know that person, and I'm not sure that they won't call again. I suppose you never get calls from people who dialed the wrong number, either? No one ever calls you in the evening, really? Why can't you follow the simple courteous rule of silencing your phone? Why should I have to be slightly anxious, worrying that your phone is going to ring after the movie starts? Because you're one of THOSE PEOPLE who are too rude and inconsiderate and selfish to turn off their phones. Because you're too **** lazy to press a **** little button on your phone!

And it's not reasonable to be handled a 32 oz drink when you order a "small"!!! 32 oz is not small.

And ouch **** I just **** hurt my **** hands hitting the **** washer. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Damn those fucking dogs.

They tore up all my grass, so I wanted to lay down some new sod. It's hard enough keeping grass alive without dogs tearing it up. Qiao got me 10 squares of sod. Just a small area at a time. It took me a couple hours yesterday to dig up the earth and lay the sod. Then it took another couple of hours trying to hook up the hose and sprinkler to the faucet. Then while the sprinkler was going, I went to work drilling holes in the mortar in order to put a hose hangar on the side of the house. Because I can't leave the hose on the ground or the dogs will chew it up. And it's damn heavy to be carrying back and forth to the garage all the time. And the sod has to be watered every day to begin with

Today I finished putting up the hose hangar. And I went to buy more fencing, because I didn't have enough to surround the new sod. The metal fencing would have been $30 for 50 feet. I instead got plastic fencing, which was $10 for 25 feet and twice as tall - I could cut it in half and have 50 feet worth.

After getting home with the fencing, I looked out the window to see Serena already pulling up a piece of sod and trying to tear it apart. I yelled at her in fury and tied her up on the other side of the house. Then I got the plastic fencing up around the sod. The fig tree seems to be dead, so I took the tall folding fence that was around it, and instead put that around where the lantana flowers will be growing, to keep the dogs from ruining the flowers. In addition to the plastic fencing, I had gotten 4 pretty little snap-together pieces of plastic decorative fence, so I put those around the fig tree instead. Then I went to work trying to put the hose on the hose hangar, and hooking up the sprinkler again. Not 10 minutes into that process, I look over to see Serena chewing off the tops of my pretty little snap-together fence. GRRRR!!!!!

And now they'll probably tear down the plastic fencing and tear up the sod, and all that work will have been for nothing. And I'll have nothing but a big ugly muddy yard. I've already got a big muddy yard, and the soil is starting to wash away. I used to have nice grass in the back yard at least, but it has disappeared. It was thinning out even before the dogs moved in and started trampling everything.

And I still have to finish laying down bricks around the whole perimeter of the outside fence, to keep Serena from digging under it.

Those dogs make my life so damn hard.
