A Tough Day

A Tough Day by H.D. Ingles

I had a grueling day today. A tough day. Stress. Stress. Stress.

For starters, I was obliged to perform the tedious task of emptying the dishwasher. Then, to add to my already busy day, I had to wash two pots by hand. (By hand!). I had to because it will be so long before I run the dishwasher again that I’ll need the damned pots.

Then I baked. Well, maybe some folks wouldn’t call it baking, but I do. I heated the oven to 400 degrees and tossed in a couple of frozen apple tarts. I almost injured myself on that one because there were no instructions telling me that a pan left in a 400 degree oven for twenty minutes would be hot. I guess I was just lucky.

As you can imagine, I was totally exhausted. I mean, I couldn’t even fix lunch. I had to go out to eat.

Like I said, a tough day. I think you will be able to understand why I’ll need a couple of bourbons tonight. Okay, okay, three or four, five tops.
