Isn’t it life's way? Good stuff happens, and then the crap rears up and tries to suck the joy from life. Then something good breaks through and shines some light, banishing the crap for a while. Rather than mix my squee and woe in one post, I choose to celebrate/gripe about them separately.So, yeah. In many ways, I'm at the happiest spot of my life ( Read more... )

If someone orders a dishwasher and plans to pay you to haul the old one away, it would be a good practice to inform that customer that disconnecting the old dishwasher is not included in this service, and therefore if your delivery guy arrives to find a still-connected dishwasher, he'll just drop the new one off and go on his way, leaving the old ( Read more... )

I don't know exactly what my damage is, but seriously, I have rarely been in such a foul mood. My poor mother left me a message, near tears, about the evilness of the city and its planning commission and all the shit she has to do to get her house up to code, and I made the mistake of calling her back. Listened to her, tried to be supportive, but ( Read more... )

So That Person popped up in the BSG icon comm again tonight, slapping me in the face with her stupid default icon--ah, I see she's edited it to a different icon now. Because my wound is still at that newly scabby phase where you can't stop picking at it, I clicked on her userinfo, which she's updated since last week to state, "And oh yeah, I'm ( Read more... )

For the third weekend in a row, I have not done my laundry, nor have I done anything but the absolutely essential housework. I spent the morning driving around town swearing loudly at people from my car. When I got home and dropped some crap, I kicked the hell out of my dining room chair. And then I ate myself sick all afternoon.

I know what my ( Read more... )

Got a call tonight from Jenn, whom I'd called to check in on because our mutual massage therapist told me she'd cancelled the night before because she was sick. She was in hysterics, and after a couple of minutes she managed to get the story out. Her boyfriend, who came up for the weekend that was to include engagement ring shopping, walked out on ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have two computers--home and work. I put music from both of them onto my iPod. Until yesterday, this has not been an issue. Yesterday morning, when I plugged Speck into my home computer to let it provide painting music, it went into this auto-update thing, which I tried unsuccessfully to cancel out of, and 20 minutes later, my iPod only ( Read more... )

So the plumbing under my kitchen sink is apparently cluster fucked. It's been dripping under there for a while now, and I have a basin that catches it, in theory, that I empty out every time I wash the dishes, but tonight I came home and took a closer look, and it was overflowing. I ran the dishwasher Wednesday night, and I guess that was too much ( Read more... )

Incredibly bad. Like, I want to go over and bitch slap Nancy right now just because she's jabbering about her teeth next door, and I don't give a shit about her teeth or her stress or her anything ( Read more... )

I take back the nice things I said about my cats yesterday. One of the little monsters peed in my laundry bag. Could she be nice about it and pee in the dirty laundry? No. Clean laundry ( Read more... )
