Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Okay, woke up like 30 minutes before the alarm clock, staying up for a WBTB for at least 15 minutes.

Please, WILD, please....just WORK....all I'm going to do is just lay there, and imagine things. PLease....JUST WORK FOR ONCE KAY?!?!?

It still feels odd when I 'like' someone's post that says they feel troubled or awful.

It's a form of encouragement.

Dave. I hope you got your battery straightened out. My hubby's battery is always dying so I know the frustration. He keeps it on a charger if he's not going to be driving it every day.
When I drove the Land Cruiser eons ago, I would have to DRIVE with the portable charger in the passenger seat to keep the car charging (with the hood strapped closed lol) because any time I would stop the battery would die. A couple of times, it died WHILE I was driving How does that even happen. Well, I was actually coasting. Hubby replaced the battery but it still happened.

I'm ranting because about 30 minutes after my post last night I fell asleep And when I woke up the right side of my throat and my ear hurts. Now I'm curious if I'll cough up a tonsil stone or if I'm actually getting sick. Could be allergies too I guess. I've been neglecting to take my vitamin C which may also have something to do with it? I went from 4,000 units to 0 lol. I was trying for 8,000 to try to keep a cold from developing. I guess I stopped too soon lol.

I also need to venture out for a fountain soda and my e-cig cartridges... but I REALLY don't want to go anywhere. I think I'm out of water though. I could always make some tea I guess...

I was in a relatively good mood, I was reading a book and I was completely into it. And then this stranger calls and babbles about houses and financing (I'm adding estate agents to the list of people who should be shot), just because I've been looking around the market. Well I didn't want a damned call. Now I'm all anxious and can't focus on the reading. Gah.

What kind of e-cig did you get? Is it any good?
I was looking at them before, the only non-scammy company I could find doesn't ship outside U.S.

I have tried several. N-Joy was very nice, but the battery was faulty and died much too quickly. Then I went to... Century. That battery just died completely and the gas station no longer sells them OR my menthol cartridges
So now I'm using Quik E-Cig. It's rechargable and only costs $10. It's compatible with Blu e-cig cartridges, so that's what I use for them (the kit for Blu is almost $70., so no thank you).
The menthol tastes like how rotten, nasty feet smells. But the Vanilla and Cherry Crush are outstanding.

I have mixed success with the e-cigs. I'm a moderately heavy smoker (1 1/2- 2 packs a day), so I don't know if I'm getting enough nicotine from the e-cig. I use them whenever I can't smoke... on trips with my hubby, on long shopping trips, waiting rooms etc. They work amazingly well for short fixes.
When I went on the trip with my hubby, we left at 2AM Thursday and by Saturday I was hurting for a real smoke. But I'm giving it another shot. I bought cartridges today instead of cigarettes. I don't have any money for smokes, so we'll soon see how long I hold out before asking hubby for an advance

I was at the mall a month ago or so and I tried a Volcano e-cig (I think it was called). It was amazing, but some $80. I believe. It had flavored drops to use in the vaporizer instead of the traditional cartridges. I'm just really nervous about buying the expensive kits. They only last me 3-6 months. It's easier to spend $15-$50. dollars a week than to drop $60.-$80 whenever the cartridge feels like giving out.

My rant, as always, is fatigue. Every time I get powerfully sleepy, I've been trying to get up and do something. So, I'm getting some laundry done now while the sun is shining.
But I want SO BADLY to crawl back into bed.

I'm going to have my p-doc order a blood panel. If my blood work is normal, then I'm going to make a Dr's appointment if anyone will see me. If THAT turns out okay, then I might see if a general practitioner can prescribe me a breathing machine without having to take another horrible sleep study. Those things are torture lol.

Sleep tests are that bad. "Please strap yourself into this bed while we put all these wires on you. Then try and fall asleep please. While me and 40 other interns sit here are stare at you. Oh and ignore that buzzing sound, Freddy the janitor is testing his Chainsaw in the room beside us."


In other news, I dunno if I'm having a fucking freak out or something, but I'm getting very agitated. Like... insanely agitated, every time someone calls here, I want to scream. I don't care about work right now. If I have to explain something to someone as if they are in preschool one more time, I'm going to cry. Ok, if you can read and use common sense, then you can use a computer. And no don't say "delete network" isn't there, Because I will beat you. "Delete network" and "remove network" ARE THE EXACT SAME THING! Why do I even need to tell you this?!? I expect these questions from a small child. Not a 40 y/o accountant or engineer or whatever the hell you do in life.

I'm not bitter at all.

Windows computers are the bane of my life. I work for nine hours on my research project, and six of those hours are spent either waiting for a computer to load, or trying to figure out why the hell windows is refusing to do what I want it to.

I just wish I had enough money to buy a nice mac, which doesn't make any noise or crash or have a hopelessly user-unfriendly interface.

Linux.

rofl, OldSparta. Mine wasn't THAT bad I had a very nice bedroom with a huge, comfortable bed. No one sat in the room with me. They had an intercom system which also showed me as I slept.
But the wires suck!! Even worse was the oxygen monitor!!! I tend to fall asleep on my stomach with my hands under my thighs. I have a hard time falling asleep any other way.
I was also on a nicotine patch which might have screwed up my results. I failed to tell them that until it was over

Oh, and hehee, you wouldn't be able to stand me IRL. I'm always in a state of near panic whenever I'm driving and my path has to veer. Even if I've driven a route multiple times, I'll still ask hubby "Is this my turn?"
Then again, it's he who makes me nervous, not the turn itself. When he wants to go somewhere, we GO somewhere. If I miss my turn, the world is ending lol. If I'm driving by myself, I glance at my Garmin to reassure myself then I keep on keeping on. If I make a wrong turn, so be it
Some people just lack confidence in themselves and their abilities and want to be hand-held sometimes...

My rant: Why the heck can't I ever remember my freagin bra size. I can't remember when I last bought a bra, because I can't remember it. For my girls, though, I get a general idea, go to Goodwill and grab up anything I think will fit. If it doesn't, I only lost a quarter and they go back.
One of them actually fit me and it still has the tag (miracle of miracles). It's a 36 B. Now remember that, brain. I just wrote it down especially for you

Ok, I understand that, sometimes I do the same. But when the entire f-ing town and the surrounding towns do it, it gets annoying. I find it hard to believe 3000+ people lack confidence.

Get a tattoo on your hand, when people ask what it's for, say your bra size

Going to the laundry...ugh, just going to sit there and listen to music that I already listen to daily anyway....and then try and finish the rest of this Chemistry homework. It's not a lot left to do, it's just a pain in the ass with the last segments I have to complete.

Then finish a one paged double space paper....that's not hard AT all, but it's like a thorn on my side! The class' papers are easy as hell, just annoying if I don't get them done early.

Then I have to go to some lecture series where there's probably going to be a crapload of people, seeing as they have to use the huge auditorium for the guest speaker, then I have to plan out my report on it probably tomorrow.

Oh, and another one paged paper on a seminar I went to, not a big deal, but again, just another annoyance.

Ehhhhhh.

I just hope I don't sleep listening to the guest speaker like I almost did on the first lecture series last semester.


And damn! for last semester in college, there was a lot of crap I was doing in that time!!! And it's almost over now as well.....still a little paranoid about my future grades, I just can't help but hold on to worry about it! I can be positive and say "I can do it!" but that's not going to magically help me do well on finals. fjasdkfjkagjsgkjkg bleh.

That sounded like something I'm capable of doing if you ever give me a car. I guess I shall stick to public transport. To add on my bad direction sense doesn't help either.

Come on everybody, remember's Zhaylin's bra size for her!!!

Ps: Sorry about that. But does that help you to remember it?

Ohhh seems there's a bit of Zelda in Carrot.

;p

My boyfriend worked 12 hour night shifts all weekend, and I worked 10 hour day shifts. And this week he works 12 hour day shifts. Which is why it was VITALLY important that when he took his daughter to the store yesterday, after he got enough sleep, that he bought a very small list of groceries that I put on the refrigerator. Like stuff for my son's lunches for example and the dogs' treats. So now I have to either walk 5 miles to get the stuff, taking my son with me. Or I get to make homemade crackers & cheese, and homemade cookies or cupcakes, and homemade dog biscuits.

But I have to make alot of other stuff today too. Like dinner for the kids, and Danny's 3 meals for his 12 hour shift tomorrow! I think I need to make a list.

1. crackers (nvm, I have some Ritz crackers left, thanks goodness)
2. cupcakes (with flax, millet, chia, and whole wheat flour, because that's healthy(-er)
3. dog biscuits (beef and cheese flavored is their favorite)
4. dinner for the kids - (baked whole wheat pasta shells & cheese with some left over chicken breast)
5. Danny's food (eggs of some kind, some of the pasta from ^^, and _____? )
6. goat cheese (but all I have to do for that is pour the goat milk in a pot, add a few things and leave it alone overnight)

I swear to god, if I can accomplish all this today, I'll post pictures.

I feel odd that my problems seem so easy to deal with compared to some.

Maybe I'm just more...accustomed to the issues I have that they bother me less.

Oh well, time to go get the kiddo and sit in the park.



Rant: I hate pooping.

Ugh I'm sick :C ever since Saturday night my throat has been hurting. But I don't feel sick other than that, it's like my nose is runny, throat feels mucusy/scratchy, hurts to sneeze/cough/talk, but I don't have that completely "sick" feeling. I think it might be allergies or something D: and my ears are weird and i can't hear, but when i do, i hear more out of one ear than the other xD


oh i've also had a canker sore for over a week straight >_>

That coupled with the SAT? Ouch... I remember I had a cold one time I had to take the ACT. That didn't pan out well.

Those things are truly the devil's work if you ask me, they have zero function. I mean, what's the point of being in that much pain? Of course if you put your hand on the stove, your brain tells you to move it in the form of pain. That I can understand. Or if you get cut and don't realize it at first, it will eventually hurt so you can address it. But the intense pain from a canker sore, why? You can't address it. And they're not life threatening so they don't even need to be that painful. In fact, the ones that are really bad, you can't eat or even drink water. And it hurts when your tongue touches it so you can't talk. And air hurts it so forget breathing as well. I guess it just means we're not supposed to have mouths. Good job nature.

Oh well, at least there's orajel.

speak it sista xD Ugh I've hoped it would go away on it's own they're on the inside of my bottom lip. Well at first it was one big one, then another one under it formed, then that went away not the big one is still there. A couple days ago i was brushing my teeth and ripped off the skin from it on accident and it was bleeding.....but it came back :C

@ Erii: owwie hope it goes away soon. I had a real nasty one that lasted 2 weeks before. Getting drunk helped alot, that much I remember

Anyway, I finished the healthy cupcakes, and the dog biscuits are in the oven, and chicken is marinating for Danny's lunch for tomorrow. Now all I need to do is start the pasta, make some eggs, then the goat cheese. This is turning out to be kinda easy actually, I just needed to make that list I'm so not a list person. Like at work. But I finally had to start making grocery lists because I would forget everything.

Now my rant is Chris is so annoying when he plays Black Ops. I'm seriously going to video one of his hissy fits and post it here and show him that I posted it here. He's like the freak out kid sometimes. Honestly.
