Please listen to me whine and add your own

[VeryViolet]

I am seriously not going to survive this heat. We are at DHs grandmother's house in New England with no AC. Not a window unit or anything. I was sweating while taking a cold shower this morning. To top it off grandma has dementia and it gets a little hard trying to stay patient, I do my best but occasionally need a minute or ten. So I am currently hiding in the loft were we are sleeping where it is ten degrees hotter easily. That is my own fault but I feel like whining anyways.

Omg, can you go somewhere? I am in MA and it's supposed to feel like 110 today.

I am in MA too. This morning I drove to the grocery store that was 20 minutes away when there is one that is 5 minutes away just so I could be in the car for longer. We are going out in a bit to somewhere with AC. A lot of the issue is compounded because of the dementia, she is paranoid and follows us around and gets anxious when we go out. So we do our best to keep her calm because we came to see her. I came to support my DH but I am honestly regretting not being a selfish pregnant wife at this very hot moment.

I am tired of stepping on Lego pieces. Those fuckers hurt!

[rex]

She is probably hot, too That all around sucks.

[Muddled]

Movies and bowling are lifesavers on days like this. It kind of sucks, but Sunday should feel much better. We're almost out!

[stephlove]

It was 84 degrees in my house yesterday. With our window AC running. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough. The high temperature will be lower than what my house was inside with AC on.

OMG I can't imagine being pregnant without AC up here right now!

How much longer is the trip?

I know! Here I play the pregnancy card a lot but IRL I try to not get all annoying with it. However, right now I feel like crying and telling anyone who will listen, "I am pregnant feel sorry for me."

The My Pal Violet I got for X for his birthday is DOA. I'm pretty upset about it. We have other things to give him, but this was his big toy. Luckily, leapfrog is just straight up replacing it. I'm pleased and also mildly disappointed I didn't get it set up for him already.
I went to the hospital again last night after having an episode and hitting my head. This is just not my week, lol!

[snickers]

Oh man

My gums hurt from my dentist cleaning yesterday.

Ugh, I'd be tempted to look around for a hotel room if I were pregnant with no A/C in this kind of heat. Heck, even not pregnant I would.

My office is mostly empty due to furloughs, someone just burned popcorn in the microwave (and this is a repeat offender, how freaking hard is it?!), and I've finished the stuff that needed to be done today. And it's only noon. I just want to go home.

[cuddlyevil]

My geekly worlds are colliding and I have no one to tell it to. Not even doctor dude at work (who would totally appreciate it) because it's hot as balls in his office so he's been avoiding it. But I need to discuss it! *pouts*

[anlo]

Yeah, all of the people on my FB who were complaining last month that it was too cold for summer (it was a perfect 75!!!) can go suck it now. I hate being hot. At least if you're cold, you don't get sweaty.

My whiny/FWP is that we just got a new washer, but now I have to get out in this heat to buy HE detergent.

And I, too, love gifs.

[bania]

Oh man, Violet! Being uncomfortably hot sucks enough without adding pregnancy into it! Ugh, I hope you find comfort soon! What about ice packs on your forehead/neck?

My whine: We have family that was supposed to arrive (and stay) sometime Wednesday or yesterday (DH's family) and they have not bothered to tell us they weren't coming on time or if they will be staying or not. I'm so beyond annoyed, I hope they don't show up. Plus their children are scared of dogs. Have I mentioned we've never met these family members? I cannot live like this!

I feel like I read somewhere when we first got our HE washer that you can use regular detergent but just use less...

I had friends whining last week that we haven't really had summer because "it's too cold and rainy."

I told them to shut their mouths but they had ALREADY JINXED IT.

My whine today is that over the past 4 days, I have called 5 landscaping companies and left messages, saying we would like to have someone give us a quote and here is my number. After 2 days of not hearing back, I called again and left messages. NO ONE has called me back still! This is getting so frustrating. I have gone through the five best-rated companies in our area, but I guess I'll have to move on and call some others too.

[Captain Serious]

My whine is so bad, that if I posted it, on top of all the other stuff that has gone on with the boys medical issues lately, people would start to think I was a troll. I'm at my wits end, and can't share any of what's going on, because it all centers around their medical issues and things we are trying to keep confidential for them. Suffice it to say that I now bump into random doctors I know throughout the entire children's hospital campus (which we love) and we are retaining legal representation to fight for the boys (not against medical professionals). That's unfortunately all I can say right now, but I really just needed to get that much out!

How much longer is your visit Violet? I don't know about MA but the heat is supposed to break here tomorrow night with the thunderstorms.

We are here until Sunday morning. I hope it is the same here to be honest I have been too scared to look at a weather forecast.

You guys I went to lunch at the senior center where it was supposed to be air conditioned. There were a few window units turned to low because the old people are always fucking cold.

I apologize for being such a whiney brat now and tomorrow. We are on Martha's Vineyard and it is a different world here so the movies may be an option but it isn't a massive cineplex with frigid air and a hotel is definitely out even if we could find one there is no guarantee there would be air. Plus grandma would lose her mind if we did that. Thank you for listening.
