I need an attitude adjustment. 6 weeks post foot surgery and I finally ditched the knee scooter this week, but I thought it would be a quick transition to the walking boot. No. I'm supposed to wean into putting weight on the foot over several days, which I get, but this involved digging the emergency crutches out of the shed. Ugh. They smell like rubber that's been stored in a shed for several years. Trying to carry anything while on crutches is crazy ridiculous.
I keep telling myself to be grateful for my beloved body that carries me everywhere and to not push recovery, but I'm really over this. At least I got to drive again today! But even that involved changing in and out of a walking boot at every stop. /whine

I got complimented on my tacky shoes last night!
I also got two compliments from the same drunk dude on my hair that included "fuckin white people." His SO reports to my H. She was a smidge embarrassed.
I am watching Project Runway Allstars, which us an awful, awful show.
Tell me why because DD caught a clip and wants me to start recording this. She adores PR and Threads and I love watching these with her.
Heidi and Tim aren't on it.
Playing the part of Heidi is Alyssa Milano, who is awkward and has no charisma. And a terrible stylist.
Playing the part of Tim is a blond woman who is not Tim.
It's not even a true "All Stars," just some boring contestants from the three most recent seasons, and Chris March, who was eliminated a couple weeks ago.
But I watch anyway because I do enjoy the runway shows, and just look at makeup on my ipad for the other 50 minutes.
I'd address the mold issue and think about what else was on the list, especially if it's frivolous stuff that they're trying to build the case to move, when they're not get of leadse worthy.
Apparantly I could have skipped buying a turkey this year, since this was my backyard a few minutes ago. It's only the second time this has happened here in the 11 yrs we've lived here.

I hope they didn't slit your tires. Wild turkeys are gangsta.

Someone tied their Shiba Inu up outside the nail salon down the street. It has been screaming for over 20 minutes straight (we tried calling the salon but they won't answer their phone). Your dog does not need to come with you and wait outside in 35 degree weather while you get a pedicure. My cats are really distressed by its screams

Can you call animal control. Or even the police (noise, disturbance). I know that seems rash, but it might have the desired result, if you follow.
The police or animal control does check out noisy animals or other disturbances (pretty rare in my neighborhood thankfully), but it usually takes them at least an hour to come - I knew the dog would probably be gone before they came (and it was).

I just got an email from my mother that casually throws in the fact that she "shopped at the edible marijuana place next to the Lyric (a movie theatre) last night."
Thanksgiving just got a lot more interesting.
If you've seen that video going around of the three grandmas pulling bong hits and then playing Cards Against Humanity, you can imagine my mom being right there with them.

I have contracted Ebola. Or the stomach flu. One of the two. I haven't stopped vomiting in 3 hours. If anything, it's getting worse cause now we're on to the abdominal cramp phase.
I'm also running a fever, so every time I drag myself to the bathroom I end up shaking with chills.

Shoot me now.
That sounds like norovirus, aka the only two times in my life I've wished that whatever I had would kill me.
My random: we're having family birthdays this afternoon. I can't quite figure out why, because we usually do November in conjunction with TG. We're all going to see each other in 4 days and then a million times over the next month. I like them and all, but too much togetherness and my patience wears thin.
I don't have a card for my aunt and I'm not feeling bad about bringing one on Thursday.

I think my mom is planning some grand Thanksgiving evening event or Friday morning thing. We're having Tday at their house. Just us and my mom & dad. Mom called me this weekend and asked me if I'd rather go to cousin's house for dinner and "get it over with."
what to get a good idea of how you would act in an actual emergency?
have the fucking fire alarm go off in the grocery store the sat before thanksgiving and you are in the aisle furthest from the exit and have kids in tow. yeah. that was unpleasant.
it was a false alarm, but my ass was already walking to the stockroom to get out the back way
oh.my.god. I swear the grocery store and Target were a nightmare to begin with. I would have sat down in the frozen section in the fetal position and waited for the fire fighters.
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley

We were at Lucky on Saturday and it was AWFUL. I looked at Mr Liu and told him that if we forgot anything we were gonna have to live without it because I am NOT going back until after T-day.
My feet hurt. They always hurt. I need new work shoes but I'm nervous about buying them and they suck just as bad. I'm even gelling and it's doing nothing. Fucking Dr Scholls. YOU STAND ON A FLOOR MAT OF LIES!!
Also, I'm old. DO you know how much Advil it takes to get through a shift? Aren't I supposed to get used to this?
So enough whining. Here's a tip. Do NOT run your waitress ragged, asking all kinds of dumb questions, asking for one thing at a time every single time I go to your table while I have three other tables and get snippy that you don't have refills. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH I CAN FIT ON MY TRAY AND YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THIS BITCH, YO! And I promise I didn't eat all of the croutons so you couldn't have any. Tell it to prep.

Man I went to the store today and almost killed several people. Now I know how it could have been worse.
