The Not Happy Thread

My pene-ness must remain detached from its work.

 

I just found out the reason for the check point I passed this afternoon. It was because a 32 year old man died from a hit-and-run at 11.45pm last night!

 

I'm worried enough when I go along that road in the daylight! There are no lights down there until you get to the edge of Newtownforbes-some 3km later. I walked it once in the winter with a torch, and it was terrifying. I can't imagine what the guy was doing out there at that time of night.

 

Today was just... awful. And now I’m wondering if I should go to sleep feeling this way or wait until my dad and sister go to sleep so I can go for a walk.

 

Walk (or ice cream?)

 

I caught them live in 1992!

 

Akhh! Helf mein Gott!

 

Went to sleep too early....woke up too soon.....fuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkk.

 



 

*Hugs* Poem i'm thinking of you always.

 

King Mizzle! That was their nizzle!
Saw Wall of Voodoo in LA. Loud as fuck-all. Stan did his lite a cig flick the smoking match trick

 

Having a birthday so close to father's day is just twice as much unwanted attention.

 

Found a leak in my ceiling right over my washer and dryer.

 

Me too--a rain leak in the laundry shed directly over the dryer, among other places. I'm thinking of getting a couple of gallons of Flex Seal and having someone paint the laundry shed roof with it (comes in white to match the roof). ETA: It'll save hundreds of dollars if not a thousand or two, but due to vertigo it can't be me unless I wanna die.

 

Level 6 (Japanese scale) earthquake here this morning. Lost a lot of my crockery and a bottle of shit whiskey, place is a mess. Three deaths in Osaka, including a 9 year old girl on her way to school who had a wall fall on her (it hit at 0758 local time). Had to hang around work until 11 when they finally decided that classes would be canceled, which only makes sense with no trains running and 120,000 houses without power. We got off easy up here, aside from the breakage, both Mrs. A and I are fine.

Still not how I was planning on spending the time.

 

My father company is shutting down, leaving him without a job.
My mothers job might not last after the summer.

It's getting time to pay back my loan to them - but I'm about 100 $ a month short from getting a proper loan from the bank.

Getting a new job is next to impossible, even though I am looking. Getting an extra job would probably burn me out since I'm already going under with angst on the one I have now. Though I'm keeping my eyes out for any possibility.

So... being an adult sucks, what's new?

 

Glad you made it through alright. Sounds scary.

 

Discovered a woodlouse crawling up my curtain last night. Sick of sharing my house with non-paying guests! I've had slugs, woodlice, spiders, flies, moths, earwigs, wasps. Even had a rodent for a while!

 

Glad you're okay!

That sucks. Get a pet that eats em.

 

No pets allowed. There's enough stray cats round here, but they do fuck all!

 

My bf is sick with a combination of hay fever and cold. This is his first serious sick day in a couple of years but he feels too clogged up to think much.

I am in a mental jumble myself. I'm waiting to find out if the school will extend my contract beyond the summer, but there's also the long term issues. My bf has spoken about leaving the UK because there are growing economies with his skillset. I brought that up and asked if it would be better to think about that while we're still renting rather than invest in a mortgage and regret it later. We'd need to do our research.

This logistically brings up our families. We're both the eldest, but I doubt we have the time or money to look after both my parents and his mum when they're old. I have more siblings and have a wealthier background, so cold logic says I should delegate those responsibilities to my brother, the middle child. The thing is, he hasn't gotten a permanent job in his life.

 

Welcome to Earth. Critters abound.

 

I have no problem with them doing what they need to do, but not in my fucking house!! Especially slugs! *shudders*

 

Put down a pie tin with beer, slugs will drown while getting drunk.
That is how people kept them from eating their gardens in Virginia.

 

I put salt in my door and window tracks instead. Worked well enough!
