Still dragging this morning, and then I got a big stressor. You know I go out every morning and do these Price Monitoring jobs. Well, last week, one of the jobs my husband and I was Rejected for both of us because of "Contributor Collaboration." I wrote to them and told them that we each do our own jobs and the only collaboration was that we drive to the store together and go through doing the same jobs at the same time. Well, apparently, that is against their "integrity" policy. I guess they think I'm taking his phone and doing both our jobs myself, or something. They wrote back and said that, after consideration, the rejection would stand.
I don't care about losing the dollar! It's the principle of the thing. I've always hated being accused of doing something I DIDN'T do - makes me feel like I might as well BE doing the accursed thing! It really threw me for a loop this morning, and made me kind of depressed - so much so that, for the very first time in 4-1/2 months of doing these jobs, I just went back to bed and didn't go out.
It's after 11ma, and I haven't done ANY walking and I haven't drunk ANY water. I haven't done my daily Bible reading or worked on the lesson for my Bible study group call on Thursday. I haven't responded to any notifications on FatSecret. Basically, I haven't done anything.
Well, I DID get up at midnight and make a Franklin Nut Cake. I did try to go back to sleep during the three hours that it had to bake, but no luck, so I was up from midnight until I went back to bed at 8:30, and I slept until after 10. When I got up, I used the leftover eggs and bacon from the Mama's Pancake Breakfast I got us to share yesterday, and I made us each a sandwich on toast. (Husband is still sick, and being very picky about what he wants to eat. On Saturday, he didn't have anything. On Sunday, only a roll toasted with some jelly on it, and the pancakes yesterday morning were the first thing of substance he ate.
So, about that Franklin Nut Cake . . . in my weakened state, I've already eaten two slices of it - one right after the rejection confirmation and the other one just now, after having "breakfast." I know, I know. If I hadn't MADE it, I wouldn't have eaten it. I want to send some to the couple who took us out to dinner on Friday, and some to my husband's aunt, who gave us $1,000 to get our car out of the shop last month. I'll also give some to my MIL, so there'll only be about 1/4 of a cake for us.
OK, I guess I should do something, anything, to make some progress. OH, I did do all the dishes from cooking a roast, sautéed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. Did all those and put them away last night. Then, after baking the cake, I did up all those dishes, too. I feel a lot better when my kitchen is clean. It sucks the life out of me when it is a mess.
Enough drama.
