Septic pump is broken, so it isn't moving stuff from the tank into the drain field. The front yard smells like the ocean. So whatever we flush, M has to pump by hand and get rid of (the poor neighbors yard! Don't worry, it's grey water). We've been extra cautious about our water usage. I now have a houseful of dirty dishes and laundry that needs ( Read more... )

So thanks to everyone's good advice, I went to the hospital and had my ankle x-rayed. It's a sprain, but the ligiments are not torn. I got a funny boot thing and a perscription for some Motrin (I didn't fill it. I've got Ibuprophin at home!). I was told to walk on it, but was having some trouble. Thankfully, Eric let me borrow his cane (it's cool! ( Read more... )

They paid, I gave them pizza and turned around to leave. What I didn't notice was the 4 inch step. I landed on my ankle. Hard ( Read more... )

I seem to have caught the plague. So I left the retreat early and drove to where M was at his OA Vigil, and he drove us home. I slept, like, all night ( Read more... )

M and I had Taco Bell last night, which made my stomach as evil as possible. I was feeling so awful, that I woke up very early in the morning squirming and writhing. My back hurt from the indigestion. I took two ibuprophin and nothing happened. I drank water and used essential oils and nothing happened. In agony, I took some meds the hospital gave ( Read more... )

I wish life were like a videogame, where if I fail a mission, I can just start over from a save point ( Read more... )

Ugh. I feel like death warmed over this morning (no offence to the DL and his fine handiwork). I think I felt better last night than I do this morning. I took an anti-nausea pill, which will probably give me narcolepsy, and am already tired of these cough drops (I has a phobia. It's stupid, I know, but I'm pretty sure I died in another life by ( Read more... )

I just wrote this whole long thing about stuff, then the internet was like fuck you! and erased the whole thing. ARGH ( Read more... )
