OUR WASHING MACHINE DIED LAST NIGHT SO THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD
→[More:]
WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS RIGHT NOW. MY HUSBAND GOT A $250 SPEEDING TICKET (GRARRRRRR) WHICH WOULD PAY FOR THE DAMN WASHER. ALSO MY CAR NEEDS A TUNEUP AND ALSO MINT IS A PIECE OF SHIT SO I CAN'T TELL WHAT WE'LL HAVE LEFT AT THE END OF THE MONTH UNLESS I USE EXCEL WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING MINT.

THAT SUCKS, DESJARDINS! GRAR!

MY OWN LITTLE SHOUT: ACK, THIS HEAT! I DRANK GALLONS OF WATER AND STILL WOKE UP DEHYDRATED. MY OW OW OW WISDOM TOOTH IS LEACHING BLOOD AND FILTH DOWN MY THROAT, SO I'M NAUSEATED ALL THE TIME, BUT THEY CAN'T OPERATE UNTIL I STOP COUGHING AND THROWING UP. BUT THE WISDOM TOOTH IS WHAT'S CAUSING ME TO COUGH AND THROW UP, SO... CATCH-22 MUCH?

ARGH!

THE POISON IVY ON MY FEET IS DRIVING ME COMPLETELY INSANE. THEY ITCH, THEY BURN, THEY FEEL WEIRD, THEY ITCH, THEY ARE COVERED WITH RUNNING SORES. IT IS HEINOUS AND AT NIGHT WHEN I TRY TO SLEEP AMPUTATION SOUNDS MERCIFUL AND THE ONLY POSSIBLE OPTION. I CAN'T WEAR SHOES AND I DON'T HAVE ANY FLIP FLOPS AND I CAN'T GO BUY FLIP FLOPS WITHOUT WEARING SHOES SO I CANNOT LEAVE THE HOUSE BUT THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF I NEED TO GO AND DO.

ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY DYING OF THE HEAT KINDLY TAKE SOME OF OUR COLD AND RAINY CRAP WEATHER PLEAZZE? IT'S 58° RIGHT NOW AND DRIZZLING STEADILY AND I CAN'T FIND MY QUILTED VEST BECAUSE, HEY, IT'S JULY! WHO NEEDS A VEST IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY FOR THE LOVE OF LITTLE GREEN MONKEYS????!!!! BRRRRR I'M FREEEEEEEEZZZIIIIINNNNG!!!!!!!! :(

ALSO I GOT CAUGHT IN A BABY SAND STORM ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT AND GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE PLUS THERE IS COTTONWOOD FUZZ ALL OVER ALL OF OUR TOWELS NOW, AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO WASH THEM TWICE BECAUSE MY BELOVED SCHMOOPY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HANG THE TOWELS OUT ON THE CLOTHESLINE YESTERDAY AND THEN THEY GOT COVERED IN COTTONWOOD FUZZ AND THEN RAINED ON. SO: NO CLEAN TOWELS THIS MORNING, BAH.

GRAR.

I WOULD GLADLY TAKE SOME OF YOUR HEAT BECAUSE THE GODDAMN HUMIDITY WITHSTOOD OUR BRAND NEW CEILING FAN WITH A CRAZY VORTX FAN ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE BED, SO WE HAD TO GO SLEEP ON THE COUCH AGAIN AND USE NOT JUST THE WUSSY AIR CONDITIONER BUT two more fans* TO KEEP US REMOTELY COOL, AND ALSO I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH AFTER LAST WEEK, AND OY MY BACK!

*this passes for shouting even bigger in the shouting thread

I WOKE UP WITH A STIFF NECK AND A HEADACHE THAT WOULDN'T GO AWAY UNTIL I DRANK GATORADE AND GATORADE TASTES LIKE NOTHING NATURE EVER INTENDED ANYONE OR ANYTHING TO CONSUME. GIVE ME SUMMER OVER WINTER ANY DAY, BUT THE FACT THAT I CAN'T STAY HYDRATED EVEN AFTER DRINKING ABOUT FIVE LITERS OF WATER YESTERDAY IS RIDICULOUS! I WISH I KNEW WHAT TO BLAME THE STIFF NECK ON BECAUSE THEN I COULD SHOUT AT THAT, TOO, BECAUSE MY NECK STILL HURTS AND IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW.
