Whine
I haven't had the emotional energy to post much lately, mainly because most of what I've been thinking about posting has been a long string of whining. Or whinging, if you're on the other side of the ocean.
No, it will take too long. Let me sum up: I think I need to get laid. Preferably in a tropical paradise.
At least tonight they'll be giving us the 2007 Dream Home in CO ::g:: Well, if they know what's good for them, they'll be awarding it to us.
The Car - brakes needed major overhaul. Didn't do everything they wanted/recommended, and still spent $740 for new calipers and pads, replacing 3 tire studs, oil change, tire rotation and complimentary car wash. They wanted to change the rotors, timing belt and retap all of the remaining tire studs too. What do they think? I have nothing else to spend money on?
The Boy - will most likely be recommended for retention. Big pow wow with his teaching team on thursday, and we all agree that it's the right course of action. They say he can pull it out if he applies himself for the last quarter, but will he?
The Girl - where are the socks? She does the laundry and whole pairs go in, but only half pairs come out. Then it turns out that the missing ones are under her bed. Or the delicates - always winding up in with non-delicate items and getting beaten up instead of treated delicately.
The Job - sheesh. Lots of work to do, but not enough time to do it if I have to stick to 40 hrs/week. The guy who got the Sr. PM position is definitely more qualified for it than me, and he's welcome to it. I think I'd already be freaking out if they gave it to me.
Medical Bills - stupid HIPPA. All these stupid invoices, trying to figure out what's been paid and what's overdue. And finding out they're calling me delinquent when they didn't send the statement, because somehow my zip code got deleted. My personal bill is still not on a payment plan, and they won't set one up for me until they decide what they're going to do about my financial assistance. So I keep getting statements with the entire amount in the "payment due" box.
The weather - right, I know it's spring and volatile right now, but seriously? It's a little rude to have 65 deg at 6 pm one day and the very next day at 6, it's dropping a wintry mix. Blech. (I'm liking today's sunshine).
The water heater - yes, the nifty tankless heater that I adore having. Well, the heat exchanger died on Friday, and if we're extremely lucky, the replacement part will come in on Monday. I haven't had a hot shower since Thursday. I am in need of a hot shower. And having to wash dishes with water heated on the stove is doable, but trying. Mainly because it's apparently only doable by an adult. The boy certainly can't manage to get anything actually clean with this technique.
The dog - why is the dog such a subbie? He's getting worse by the day. We love him and feed him and pet him and hug him and serenade him with his own made-up song, and he just cowers every time we look at him. It's annoying. Man up, Cosmo!
My clothes - how is it that in the past three months I've purchased clothes 3 times that seemed to fit beautifully only to have them be either too big or too small within days of purchase?! I don't have lots of excess money to spend on clothes, yet I need nicer, professional stuff to wear to work. I'm very careful about trying everything on, and getting the most for my money, and yet, two new pair of pants are giant sacks and two are too snug. Also, even clothes that I've had for awhile - comfortable clothes - are now binding up on me, even though the scale says I weigh less than when I got them. If the temperatures were more reliable, I'd sleep naked, because I'm hating all of my PJs right now.
