I'll be so glad for today to be over. I just want the chance to flop out at home without anyone else being here other than my husband. Later in the afternoon, I have to go for a hair color consultation.

This weekend, my husband's friend (the one that had had covid a while back) might be visiting. I hope his wife is not with him. I don't think she will be. I don't dislike her, but I feel much more comfortable with his friend, only. With the wife, it then becomes "entertaining". The friend alone, more like family. Last time she came I felt like I was arguing with her over the water she wanted and her washing my dishes, when I didn't want her to. As for the water, I guess she despises mineral water, which is far more commonly consumed in Czech Republic than tap water. I understand Americans preferring tap water. Even I do, but when I said I'd give her Brita filtered, she almost yelled saying she ONLY wanted it from the tap. Well, the Brita filtered water IS from the tap, but instead of it possibly being yellow in color (which it is when the sink isn't run for a good 60 seconds after not being used for a bit), the Brita is at least clean and clear. As for the dishes, I do really hate when others (especially guests) insist on doing them. Plus, I needed to do something in my kitchen at that time, and she was in the way. In the end, I let her do the blasted things because though I strongly insisted she not, I didn't want to "yell" at her. I did, in the end, give her Brita water. Sorry, but the "must be directly from tap at that second" requirement was not flying with me.

Yea, I'm a little irritable today.
