I love when I write 11 pages of facts because someone told me that an issue needed to be addressed in a case, only to realize that the issue is actually moot. That's awesome, and not at all a total waste of time.
Not really a GRRR, but last week was just a giant shit sandwich for a number of reasons - one of which was that my beloved little pup ran off to chase a squirrel and sadly got into a nasty encounter with a car....
Rest well, boy - you were the greatest dog a guy could ever ask for.
I'm so sorry about Roscoe. It's horrible to lose a family member like that. Five years ago, my rat terrier, James, got hit by a truck. I still miss him and cry when I think about him.
Thanks for the kind wishes - it's still sinking in a bit, and feels very weird around the house without him. However, as upsetting as it was, at least I can take some very small comfort in the fact that he his last days were happy and healthy ones; when we put our last dog down, he had cataracts, could barely walk, and also had diabetes and Cushing's disease (which become VERY hard to treat when they're together).

My boss wants a draft of something I'm working on to be here on Sunday so she can come pick it up, so I'm working my a$$ off to get it done so that I can go home at 5 today and not have to work on the weekend, and when I go take a draft to my supervisor, he's not in his office because he's hanging out chatting with other people in the office about Beatles songs. If I have to stay late because of this, I'm going to be super-pissed.
My brother's mother-in-law is a witch!! My brother was suppose to watch my dog, Jesse, during Bonnaroo. He's watched her for the past three years during Roo without a problem. Today, he calls and says that he can't watch her because his MIL is scared that she will get bit. His MIL doesn't live with them. Can't she just not visit for a couple days? She always pulls this crap. My brother doesn't stand up to her either. He just lets her control their life. He also told me that his MIL thinks Jesse is evil and we should put her to sleep.
Now we have to try to get someone else to watch Jesse. She's the sweetest dog around people she knows. The problem is that she hates strangers and has been known to bite people who try to pet her. She doesn't have her shots because the vet is too scared to get close to her. The only people she likes are my parents, my brother, my SIL and me. My parents are also going to Roo so they can't watch her. I don't have any friends who will watch her and I live in the country and don't know my neighbors (closest neighbor is two miles away). I think I might have to buy a muzzle for her so she can get her shots and then hope that one of the kennels will take her. If I can't get anyone to watch her, then I can't go to Roo.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
grrrrr, a friend of mine keeps lecturing me on how to live my life because she's married with kids and i'm single and frivolously enjoying my life...and i'm not even doing anything baddddd.... simply enjoying traveling, and music in my early 30's!!!!!!
I've found that things I'd normally be pretty upset about I'm not because I know that in a few days I'll be on the farm with all of you enjoying the music and trying to survive the heat.
For instance I have two jobs and I just pulled a 20 hours shift at one because no one else would come in, and now I have to go to my other job and work until 3, at which time I'm supposed to return here and work until 11pm. Normally I'd be pretty angry that no one would come in for a a little while today so I could catch a few hours rest since I do it for them all the time, but instead I just stayed up all night roaming inforoo and bonnaroo blogs. Now I'm more excited than ever!! Although I can hardly wait to catch up on some sleep Monday too.
my couson, whose car we take to bonnaroo, decides to tell me 3 days before we're supposed to leave that there's "complications" with his car and that we may not be able to take it. he drives a subaru outback which has plenty of room for all our stuff, so thats why we take it. i drive a honda fit, and besides the fact it isnt nearly big enough to hold everything anyway, it usually goes in for inspection while im at roo. so now i have no idea what to do unless we end up shelling money to rent a car..
I will need my friends to help me through the weekend and keep my spirits positive. Just got some really bad news about a family member. I was tempted to immediately cancel my plans but am being urged by family to keep my plans.
Me and my girlfriend are skeptical about having enough money... if we get stuck in Manchester, how or what will we do? We have a rented car, which doesn't allow us to run away to TN like we want to. Hopeful and worried
Why does it seem like everything bad happens all at once?
My grandma died today. She was the nicest lady I've ever met. I'm going to miss her so much. She was 90 years old and leaves behind a 91 year old husband and 8 children. She was married to my grandpa for over 65 years. I feel so bad for my grandpa. He loved her so much and he relied on her for everything.
My uncle cut off three of his fingers in an accident at work today. He was airlifted to the hospital where he was in surgery for 4 hours. He's home now but he won't be working for a while.
My brother's wife is pregnant and is due with their first child in July and during the ultrasound last week they found that there's a problem with the umbilical cord. The fetus might not be getting enough nutrients. Apparently it's the 3rd leading cause of fetal death syndrome. They go in for another ultrasound tomorrow. I hope everything is alright.
Lastly, I'm sick with Bonnaflu. Every year I get it and this time it is worse than I've ever had it. I've had a cough and stuffed up sinuses all day. I can't sleep even though I'm so tired. I have now developed a fever and will be going to the doctor tomorrow.
I hope my family is done with the bad luck for a while.
I'm about to burst into tears at work. This is such a mess. I am never going on vacation again.
I need a hug and a beer.
Drop by Yazoo after work, I will give you both those and raise you a Grilled Cheeserie sandwich. Also I have some cash for you for Yoderoo, my account is a little dry for pay paling at the moment.
Thanks Jess, but I have to meet someone for dinner tonight. But I am sure as hell having a drink then! I will be in your neck of the woods for the next week though so let me know if you need me to drop by and get the money for Yoderoo.
Druid, there is no powering through it. It's a constant problem but has been amplified in our absence. Good luck with your hell on Sunday!
