Today, despite the first moped ride of the season, felt like this:

Hopefully, we have now gotten to the point where the bill issue is as bad as it is going to get and there will not be anymore nasty surprises. We've checked on all of the bills that we can think of that are split amongst us, and we had a long talk about the situation last night. I think the solutions that we offered are reasonable and will ( Read more... )

At six thirty this morning, I finally got to sleep. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGH.

I had been doing better. I was starting to resume some of my normal activities and starting to feel almost normal again. On December 30th, things started going downhill. It seems that they've been sliding downhill since. I've called my doctor, who's advised me to wait, saying we'll need at least 2 more weeks to see if the new medication I'm ( Read more... )

It's now day 5 of not having a bathroom on my floor at work. It's going far beyond ridiculous at this point. I'm pretty much ready to just go marching into the place with my own roll of paper towels and telling them if they don't like it, they can shove it ( Read more... )

The bathroom on our floor has been shut down for THREE days now-while the workmen run back and forth getting ice from the ice machine, talking at the top of their lungs all the time, and pounding randomly on stuff when they ( Read more... )

As it turns out, I was starting to get a sinus infection, which explains why I was feeling so nauseous every time I ate. I kind of wasted a co-pay to figure that out, but I had to go in to make sure it wasn't something more serious and to be sure the antihistamines that I usually take wouldn't interact with everything else ( Read more... )

I'm feeling kind of tired today, because I ended up getting up last night in the middle of the night.  I'm going to be fine, I know, it's just really annoying, because I made a big effort to make sure that I went to bed at a reasonable hour to make sure that I got enough sleep. Oh well ( Read more... )
