2012: This is Why I Can't Have Nice Things

[lilmissnever]

I suppose there is some benefit to writing here, because I can look back and see that this time last year I was happy. I said I could kiss 2011, didn't I? I said I could kiss it with tongue. And January 2012 Me hoped that January 2013 Me would feel the same way. And that's funny, because in the long run, optimists are always always wrong

I am glad your newest bunker is proving most satisfactory!

I look forward to throwing many more parties in Bunker 3. But first, the remodeling must happen. Predictably, demolition was scheduled to begin yesterday and it has not. It is unlikely to begin before Monday. I have not even begun to remodel my home and we are already almost a week behind schedule. This is a problem because we have already rented expensive corporate housing for this month (Fallback Position 2: Electric Boogaloo) where we will live during the time that Bunker 3 does not have a toilet or running water. Now I am paying rent and a mortgage. Again. And rents have skyrocket in ess eff in the last year, especially in SOMA, where I prefer to reside.

It would be faster to just gather up all of my money into a pile in the middle of my new living room and light it on fire.

You seem way more serene about the puke on the couch than I would have been. Then again, your indomitable will and reservoir of Extreme Cope has impressed me to no end this year.

I have machine-washable couch cushion covers. This is the least of my problems.

This week I finally used up the last of my graceful coping skills. Now I mostly reliant on the coping skills that consist of writing angry emails to my HOA, yelling at people on the phone, and removing everyone who annoys me from social media.

I had a good time, tho I boogied early because of the drive. I like your new place. I hope the demo and build goes well.

It was a pleasure to have you over, especially since you are so familiar with the Concrete Bunker. So far, just getting the demolition started has been a teeth-grinding process, but that's just the nature of the beast.
