Well, after the freakish contact with the doorjamb came the "Mystery Rash." It appeared on a very uncomfortable part of my upper torso, & at first I thought it was some sort of poison. I had, after all, helped Dave pull the bushes out that were in front of our house & gotten dirt all over me. I tried everything to make this rash go away! First, I ( Read more... )

Brrrrr!! It's damn cold here: wind chills of -10! Not to mention the snow that was dumped on Tues. night & Wednesday. I think we got about 16-18 inches, but it's hard to measure because the wind blows it all around.

The past 2 days have been mentally - as well as physically - draining.

I was awakened at 3 am on Wed. by anxiety; I really didn't want to go to work and have to deal with Gnome shit! I tried going back to sleep, but ended up having my emergency cigarette & crying. When I got to work The Gnome wasn't anywhere to be seen, & Boss told me that he was ( Read more... )
