* Waking up to the cacophony of having your door banged on by someone you don’t really want to see under the best of circumstances. Having that wake up call happen about four hours after you finally fell asleep. The reasoning: You didn’t answer your phone (because, maybe, I don’t know, you were asleep?) and she “happened to be in the area,” although she lives more than 25 minutes away and has no errands in your little town.
* That uncomfortable silence in conversation when someone tells you how much he’s looking forward to seeing you again, naked, after you’ve already mentioned at least a dozen times in the past year that you really don’t want to go there anymore, for several reasons that have all been spelled out in detail.
* That really uncomfortable silence in your head after you ask yourself if it would really be such a bad thing. It’s that dreadful silence right before the self-smacking commences.
* Realizing you’re missing your best friend’s birthday because of a stupid dentist appointment that you really can’t put off.
* Getting repetitive motion injury because you have to keep moving The Cat so she won’t drool in your hair.
* Not having anywhere near the right words at anywhere near the right time.
* Pouring a really neat-o bowl of Cocoa Pebbles only to realize you’re out of milk, and that you were supposed to pick some up last night, but had decided you were too tired.
