Nibbled to death by ducks

marinarusalkaUgh. Yesterday was one of the most mondayish Mondays ever. One of those days where a whose string of annoying things happens, each one totally stupid and trivial by itself, but they just keep coming until the whole day becomes one giant annoyance.
It started when I tried to use the Pvolve app to book my exercise classes for the week, only to discover that the studio I've been going to for the past 2+ years has abruptly closed. And I do mean abruptly -- I was there Thursday, and it looked like business as usual, no one said anything, and now, oops, their last day was Sunday. The peppy e-mail they sent out to announce this was all "Let's all gather at our location in Del Mar instead! Yay!" Well, I ain't driving to Del Mar for an exercise class, so no yay from me. And now I have to find another place to exercise so that I don't turn into a giant lump with achy hips.
Then, on my way into the office, I was juggling my laptop bag, my iced coffee and my key card as I tried to enter the building, and ended up spilling coffee all over the brand new white cardigan that I'd only bought the day before and was wearing for the first time. I did manage to wash it out in the bathroom before the stain set, but then I had an unwearable damp cardigan for the rest of the day.
The code that seemed to work fine when I wrote it on Friday suddenly wasn't working fine at all on Monday, so I ended up spending most of my work day wrestling with Javascript and PHP, two programming languages I hate the most, ugh.
Then Amazon claimed that they delivered my order, except what they actually delivered was an empty envelope. Whee. I've always wanted an empty envelope.
Anyhow, I was too annoyed with the universe to do any cooking yesterday, so I'm making it up by leaning into comfort food today. We're having this soup and this bread for dinner tonight, so the universe is forgiven for now.
