Today I am a Grumpy McGrumperpants

As I sit on my bed with a heating pad strapped to my aching back on accounta my uterus is trying to expel itself from my nether-regions, I am pondering why I don't just suck it up and give into my chocolatey desires by going to the store to purchase the entire Hershey's section. THen I remember that the meaning to Black Friday has just been redefined and I am now pouting. a lot.

All I heard about at work tonight was gasoline prices this and hurricane shutting down Texas oil fields that. While I consoled customers about said gasoline issues, I secretly (in the safety of my mind) cursed them because unlike me they had the ability to go and fill their gas tanks tonight while I? I was forced to wait until I got off work to hunt for my gasoline. Because Friday is the day that I usually get gas, I am running on low. I have a wallet full of money but only three gallons of gas in my tank. There is no junk in the trunk and no junk to be had (and by junk I mean gas...o.b.v's). I stopped at 5 gas stations on the way home around midnight and none of them had gas. Well, that's a lie. One of them did have gas but it only had premium and the only pump still open had a huge line and the guy at the pump at the time was filling up 8 red gas canisters and by filling up I mean unsuccessfully getting the gasoline from the pump gun into the canisters. He was spilling most of the gas on the ground (internal thought: what a friggin jackass and an ungracious and wasteful egocentric jackass at that). I gave up and went home. Does anyone know if there is going to be no gas deliveries? or was this run on the gas stations just due to the rumor/threat that prices are going up to $6 a gallon by Sunday?

I just want some chocolate.
