I HAVE TO GET UP AT 6 AM AND PEOPLE HAVE JUST STOPPED SCREAMING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW BECAUSE OF THE YANKEES

Damn northerners!

I GOT A COLD TODAY AND CAN'T STOP THE NOSE DRIP.
I AM SUPPOSED TO GO ON A FIRST DATE TOMORROW.
THESE TWO THINGS DO NOT MIX WELL.

CALM BLUE OCEAN!

CALM BLUE OCEAN!

NO ONE ENCOURAGES ME AT WORK AND I'VE TAKEN ON TOO MUCH THAT DOESN'T EVEN REMOTELY FALL UNDER MY DOMAIN BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS EVEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ANYTHING WORK HERE AND I AM NOT HAPPY AND NOT APPRECIATED!

I CAME HOME TODAY AND THE BREAD STARTER THAT I'VE BEEN FEEDING AND WAS GOING TO MAKE TOMORROW HAD EXPLODED ALL OVER MY KITCHEN! AND I HAD TO SOAK/SCRAPE ALL THE DRIED AND DRYING DOUGH MUSH OFF OF SO MANY WALLS AND APPLIANCES AND FLOOR ETC.
IT TOOK ME AN HOUR TO CLEAN UP PROPERLY AND MY KITCHEN STILL SMELLS LIKE SOUR YEAST AND I AM UPSET.
SO MUCH FOR "FRIENDSHIP" BREAD.

GRAR HOUSEMATE CLAIMS THAT "JUICE DRINK" "ISN'T ALL THAT BAD FOR YOU!" LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE DOING ALL THE SHOPPING FROM NOW ON SINCE HIS INTERPRETATIONS OF A SHOPPING LIST LEAVE MUCH TO BE DESIRED!

THINGS ARE ACTUALLY ALL GOING PRETTY WELL! I AM MOVING INTO MY SUPER NICE NEW PLACE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS! I HAVE NEW APPLIANCES!! TODAY, I'M RENTING A 16' CUBE VAN AND DRIVING ABOUT 900 KMS TO PICK UP "FREE" FURNITURE FROM FAMILY!

I HAVE A BAD COLD (but I get to stay home and watch TV and do laundry)! LIFE IS OVERWHELMING AND SOMETIMES I WANT TO HAVE A GUARDIAN ANGEL SORT IT ALL OUT! I WANT A LONG SOAK IN A HOT TUB SOOOOO BAD BUT WE HAVE NO BATH TUB!

FINALLY GETTING OVER WHATEVER COLD/FLU THING HAS GRIPPED ME FOR A MONTH NOW. I'M SO TIRED OF BEING TIRED ALL THE TIME, I COME HOME AND FALL ASLEEP EVERY EVENING. F-ING VIRUSES!

I NEED SOMEONE'S THANKSGIVING TO HIJACK SINCE I CAN'T GO HOME

OH BUT IT'S POURING RAIN TODAY AND SINCE WE GOT A NEW ROOF IN THE GARAGE LAST WEEK, I DON'T HAVE TO GO EMPTY GIANT BUCKETS OF WATER. YAY FOR 15 YEAR RUBBER MEMBRANE SHEET ROOFING!

CASARKOS IF YOU LIVED IN NYC YOU COULD TOTALLY COME AROUND

ONE OF MY DAUGHTER'S DAYCARE TEACHERS JUST GOT FIRED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND ALL THE PARENTS ARE UPSET AND THERE IS SCANDAL AND ANGER AND EMAILS FLYING AROUND EVERYWHERE AND IT'S VERY TIRING AND THE TEACHER NEEDS TO LAWYER UP AND THE WHOLE FIRING BIT JUST SOUNDS DODGY SO ARGH.

I'M REALLY HOPING THIS WEEKEND WILL BE RESTFUL BUT LIKELY NOT SINCE I HAVE TO DEAL WITH GETTING MY CAR FIXED AND INSPECTED BEFORE THE TEMPORARY REGISTRATION RUNES OUT.
EVERY TIME ANYTHING HAPPENS AND THE MORE I READ ON THE INTERWEBS, I REGRET EVER OPENING MY MOUTH AT THE FIRST CONDO ASSOCIATION MEETING I WENT TO AND WOUND UP ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
I'M FEELING REALLY DISCOURAGED IN MY DANCE CLASS BECAUSE MY BACK HAS NOT STOPPED HURTING IN OVER A WEEK AND WHILE I'M TAKING ALEVE LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF STYLE, NOTHING IS REALLY HELPING AND I WISH I KNEW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. (I'D GO TO THE DOCTOR IF THEY'D TELL ME SOMETHING NEW, WHICH THEY WON'T SINCE I'VE HAD THIS SORT OF SHIT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.) IF IT TURNS OUT THAT POPS IS RIGHT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I'M GOING TO BE PISSED. DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR ONCE SHOULDN'T BE SUCH A FUCKING PAIN!

I DON'T LIVE IN NYC, WHICH IS VERY REGRETTABLE, BUT I'D TOTALLY BE THERE IF I DID. STUPID LBJ AND HIS STUPID TEXAS POLITICS.

LBJ IS DEAD, ISN'T HE? HAVE WE GOT A ZOMBIE LBJ? WE SHOULD ELECT HIM TO THE SENATE TO KNOCK THE HEALTHCARE BILL TOGETHER!

WE'RE TESTING AN UPGRADE AND EVERYONE IS PISSY AND NOT TALKING AND ACCUSING ME AND MY COWORKERS OF BEING SECRETIVE! BEST OF ALL WHEN THEY FIX A PROBLEM THEY HAD THEY DON'T BOTHER TO TELL US.

THEN MY BOSS GETS MAD AT ME FOR TELLING HIM I'M GOING TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY CAN'T TREAT US LIKE DIRT! BAH!

I'M GETTING A COLD TOO, THE SECOND ONE IN A MONTH. MY MUSCLES ARE ACHY TOO, I HOPE IT'S NOT MORE THAN A COLD!

MY BACK HURTS TOO, ALL I DID WAS GO TO MY STRING GROUP AND PLAY THE VIOLA FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, WTF

MY EX WHO REJECTED ME GOT (RE)-ENGAGED TO A CRAZY WOMAN WHO BASICALLY SAID TO HIM, IF YOU DON'T BUY US A HOUSE (WHICH I TOTALLY CAN'T AFFORD ON MY OWN BECAUSE I'M TOO CRAZY TO HOLD A REAL JOB), THAT MEANS YOU DON'T LOVE ME. I GUESS I HAVE TO BE OBNOXIOUS AND CONTROLLING, AND CRAZY, TO CATCH SOMEONE?

I'M TIRED OF WORKING AND WORKING AND WORKING (TWO JOBS) AND NOT SAVING ANYTHING.

I BROKE MY FOOT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK; IT STILL ACHES PRETTY BADLY. I TOOK ONE OF THE pRESCRIPTION CODEINE TABLIT a LITTLE WHLE AGGO AND IT MAAKS ET StP HERTTTING ANDdddDDDD Its RLLLLY NIC oK BYYYYE BY NW!!!

WINTER IS COMING!!!!!!!!

I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO FIX OR REPLACE THAT REQUIRE MONEY!! WHY DO THESE THINGS ALL COME UP AT ONCE!! AND NEAR HOLIDAY TIME TO BOOT!!

I HAVE HURT MY BACK. I DON'T KNOW HOW. IT WAS FINE WHEN I WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT BUT THIS MORNING I HAD TO ROLL OUT OF BED.

I HAD A TON OF FILES TO TAKE BACK TO THE OFFICE TODAY AND EVEN USING MY WHEELED BACKPACK AND USING ALL THE LIFTS AND ESCALATORS AT STRATFORD AND SOUTH QUAY STATIONS I COULD BARELY WALK WHEN I GOT TO WORK.

I TOLD MY BOSS I WOULD WORK THROUGH LUNCH AND THEN MAYBE LEAVE A LITTLE EARLIER. HE SAID THAT WAS FINE. I ENDED UP LEAVING LATER THAN EVER BECAUSE OF CRISIS THINGS THAT WERE FLUNG AT ME FROM ALL SIDES.

I GOT HOME TO FIND A NOTICE FROM THE CONTRACTORS WHO ARE RENEWING THE GAS MAINS IN THE STREET TO SAY THAT THEY NEED TO GAIN ACCESS TO MY FLAT ON TUESDAY TO TEMPORARILY DISCONNECT THE GAS WHILE THE NEW PIPE IS LAID. THE NOTICE EFFECTIVELY SAYS "DO NOT TELL US YOU WON'T BE AT HOME, BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU'LL BE DISCONNECTED ANYWAY FROM OUTSIDE, AND THEN WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT'LL BE BEFORE WE CAN SWITCH YOU BACK ON".

I HAVE TO BE ON A TRAINING COURSE ON TUESDAY AND THE ONLY NEIGHBOUR I CAN LEAVE A KEY WITH IS A NOSY PENSIONER WHO I KNOW WILL USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A LITTLE SNOOP AROUND MY FLAT. SO I WILL MAKE SURE ALL MY PAPERWORK IS LOCKED AWAY BUT LEAVE MY RABBIT LINK NSFW WHERE SHE CAN EASILY FIND IT.

WHY HAVE I NOT HAD A COFFEE YET? DO I WANT MY HEAD TO EXPLODE?

ALSO, FOR ALL MY MEASURED RATIONAL TALK, I HATE THOSE BIGOTED VOTERS AND I WANT TO KICK THEM AND SCREAM AND HOLLER AND TAKE AWAY THEIR RIGHT TO MARRY. IN FACT, WHAT I WILL DO IS SUPPRESS THOSE FEELINGS AND GO CRY IN A CORNER FOR A FEW MINUTES. BUT CHANGE IS COMING AND THEY CAN LIKE IT OR LUMP IT.

THE PREVIOUS THREE SHOTS (of Avastin) I GOT IN MY EYE DIDN'T WORK. SO TODAY IS A FOURTH AND FINAL SHOT OF A DIFFERENT COMBO OF STUFF. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK (and it probably won't per the doctor that's why they've been using Avastin) IT'S EYE SURGERY THAT'S NOT GUARANTEED TO FIX IT EITHER. I'LL PROBABLY END UP BLIND IN MY RIGHT EYE. TIME TO START LOOKING FOR FUN EYE PATCHES. ARGH, MATEY!

On the one hand, I'm doing better than I have at any point in the last five years.

ON THE OTHER, I'M ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BOTH WORK AND HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE IN ANY NORMAL GODDAMN SENSE. I AM SICK OF MAKING THIS TRADE. IT IS NOT AN EQUAL TRADE, AND AT THE MOMENT I'M TIRED OF BEING GRATEFUL FOR BARELY GETTING BY WHEN THE PRICE IS THE ABILITY TO HAVE ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER WITH PEOPLE MY AGE, MUCH LESS MALE ONES. IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR NOTHING BETTER THAN TREADING WATER.

NOT THAT I REMEMBER HOW TO INTERACT WITH AFORESAID PEOPLE, OR HAVE MUCH IN COMMON WITH THEM, SINCE MOST OF THEM HAVE NOT BEEN EFFECTIVELY INTERRED HALF-ALIVE FOR THE PAST DECADE.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MY EX FOR SO KINDLY DESCRIBING HOW HE'S TAKING THE ADORABLE PERFECT INDIE GIRL FOR WHOM, HE CLAIMS, I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO BE A BOYFRIEND, ON THAT BACKPACKING/TRAIN TRIP AROUND EUROPE THAT WE HAD PLANNED IN DETAIL TO TAKE TOGETHER. SHE SURE LETS YOU LOVE HER A LOT, AND IT'S HEARTWARMING THAT SHE FOUND THE TIME BETWEEN THOSE TRIPS TO VARIOUS CONTINENTS FOR WHICH I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO ADMIRE HER FREE SPIRIT, BUT HAVE DIFFICULTY DOING, SINCE HER PARENTS PAY FOR IT. SOMEHOW I JUST KNOW YOU TWO WILL HAVE A SPLENDID TIME.

*wishes she could favourite nqma's awesome comment*

*feels very much the same*

I ALSO FUCKING HATE THE TRADE-OFF BETWEEN CAREER/KEEPING FOOD IN YOUR BELLY/SOCIAL LIFE/FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!

THERAPY IS KINDA GOING WELL AND ALSO SUCKING TITS AT THE SAME TIME!

WHY IS IT THAT I CAN SHOUT AND SCREAM AND RANT IN ALL-CAPS HERE, BUT TWO OR THREE OF THE LAST TIMES I DID IT IN MY OWN LIVEJOURNAL PEOPLE STARTED HAVING A HISSY-FIT?

I HAVE BEEN WORKING FIFTEEN HOUR DAYS FOR TWO WEEKS AND LAST NIGHT I GOT YELLED AT FOR BEING SO STRESSED OUT ABOUT WORK AND TONIGHT I MADE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS NOT TO HAVE WORK AND SHOPPED AND COOKED DINNER AND NOW HE IS ON THE PHONE WITH HIS SISTER FOR AN HOUR AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I BOTHERED TONIGHT BECAUSE I GUESS IT JUST DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING.

THE ADORABLE PERFECT INDIE GIRL FOR WHOM, HE CLAIMS, I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO BE A BOYFRIEND

OUCH!!!!! OOH NQMA THAT IS HORRIBLE. HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOU AND YOU'D BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT CONTACT WITH HIM.

NOTHING MUCH TO SHOUT ABOUT HERE, EXCEPT THAT I HAVE A METRIC SHITLOAD OF WORK TO DO BY THE END OF THE DAY, AND I'M GOING TO BE A WRUNG-OUT WRECK (again).
