Complain here

[travelbug]

Great! I love that there's a place to complain! I've got a complaint.

Every year I get some kind of rodent that seems to take over my backyard. For a few years it was moles. Then it was mice. Then it was voles (hadn't heard of them before; had to look it up). This year it is chipmunks. Can't figure out why the type of rodent switches every few years.

The worst part is that I have a huge phobia where rodents are concerned. I freak out when I see them or even think I might see them. Totally not a normal reaction, I know. So the whole time I'm using the Weed Wacker or cutting the grass, I'm paranoid that a rodent will go scurrying by.

I've known what to do about the previous rodents, but I haven't figured out yet how to get rid of the chipmunks.

Thanks for the chance to complain about it.

My thumb hurts.. I mean really hurts! It started as just a little ache a couple weeks ago like it needs to pop (it won't) but now its getting worse and I think swelling a little at the joint. I told my mom and she said it is probably arthritis...

Arthritis?? WTH? I'm not old enough to have arthritis.

So now I'm complaining because my thumb hurts and apparently I'm getting old... I'm not happy.

Ah! There you are.....

Yup. You can call yourself hot.


ummm.... this is starting to feel a little stalkerish, no? Yeah, that's me on the bottom right.

Story of my week! I've been trying to trap a chipmunk that got into my bedroom since Saturday. It's pretty much consumed my life.

Yeah she just stared at me and I was all like, "WHAT is her problem?"

Then DD said REALLY loud, "Why did you just tell the lady you loved her too?"

I replayed the conversation in my head and realized she was right.

I am laughing so hard I'm crying...thank you for sharing that!

Tuesday I got to work and realized I was wearing two different shoes, both black patent slingbacks, so OK, I can deal. It wasn't until 9:30 that my boss helpfully pointed out that they were both for the left foot...and I thought that was a bad day until...

Wednesday, I got a call from my sister who lives in our hometown 500 miles away and has primary custody of our adult mentally handicapped older brother. He saw his doctor for generalized "pain" (he is not good at accurately describing his symptoms) and is now being fast-tracked for a CT scan to diagnose possibly a) advanced rheumatoid arthritis or b) advanced lung cancer metastasized to his spine Meanwhile, DH gets a frantic call from his adult daughter whose little DS is away at summer camp. The camp called to inform them that he has confided to his cabin leader that an older boy at school had forced him into a "sexual situation" earlier this year. Their local police have opened an investigation and we are waiting for more details. After a sleepless night we arise to...

Today, and after waiting to be recalled from layoff due to massive local floods, DH receives word that contract employees (of which he was one) will not be rehired; vacancies will be filled with redeployed full time personnel. This was a VERY good job with our municipal government and at age 59 we're not too sure how or where he can start over.

We're both still numb enough that I don't think it's all hit us full-force yet and I imagine there's a big hurt coming...we need to be calm and collected by tomorrow evening when we go to bring our own DS (16) home from summer camp. Prayers gratefully accepted!

Definitely hope things look up for you! I'm sorry your family has to deal with all of that!

Awww, thanks guys...and I'm laughing a little bit now because the only thing that could make this day worse would be if I smelled like skunk...(and yes, the two different shoes thing was funny also!!)

Mine is not really lighthearted so sorry to bring the mood down.

My mom passed away in May. I have been dealing with probate, the courts, and the bills since. The IRS put a levy on her bank account which meant that a few bills did not get payed this month. Why? Because I wasn't administrator yet and they wouldn't allow me to pay them.

I also need to sell a house that is in not so great condition. I can't move on until I sell the house as I can not afford the mortgage here AND rent elsewhere. I want to move to be closer to my family (another state), get a job, and just be happy for once. The last 9 months have been hell.

I have been fighting an UTI for a month that won't go away. I am on antibiotic number 4. I will feel better for a couple of days and then it seems to come back. I have no health insurance so I am stuck using urgent care. We sent for a culture and I have not heard back yet and that was done on Monday.

I have not been eating well and I can feel it. My health has suffered and I gained weight back. I feel like I have failed.

My depression has been horrible (but again, no health insurance so can't afford to see anyone). I can't have the life I dream of... I can't even TRY for it. I am stuck living a life that I don't want and I am missing seeing my nephews grow up and spending time with my family. I am 31 with no career, no place of my own, no significant other...

Sorry... it helped though to get that off my chest. I have no one to talk to about it as I don't want to bother my family with it. My mom was the person I always turned to, the one I asked for advice... and she is gone.

i totally understand what you are going through.
my thoughts are with you.

i recently lost my dad and doing the estate.
it's tough to do it alone.

hopefully the test will soon come back and the meds you are on will start to work. it will be easier to tackle everything else once you physically feel better.

I hate that my work is starting to feel like Junior High. I really hate all the gossiping and backstabbing drama. Ugh!

I love my kids it's very fun to get paid to play all day with kids. It's all the extra crapoloa that I am having trouble dealing with.

I hate walking into a room and having it fall silent because they were talking about me or someone else. I hated Junior High so much and now I feel like I work there. Ugh!

I feel your pain.
I turned 40 in December. As part of my "gift", my teenage daughter gave me a video clip of this video clip. The best part starts at about 30 seconds in. I think you'll appreciate it.

Freakin hilarious until you actually hear a doctor say something like that...

When I went to my eye appointment in the spring, I got this lecture from my eye doctor. Essentially, telling me it's all downhill from here. Seriously, I was 40 and 3 months. I aint dead yet!

Then, I took my daughter for her eye appointment last month. She's got some eye issues of her own and it makes it difficult to figure out the lense strength she needs for her near-sightedness because they are working around the problems caused by the other condition.
He could tell she was getting frustrated, so he helpfully points out that "at least she's not 40 yet, this would be a lot more difficult with bifocals and cataracts, etc." Ouch. I'm sittin right here buddy! Rub some salt on that wound, will ya??
