I really hate bumping a fingertip into something and having a fingernail snap. It's been nearly three years, and they still can't get the thyroid dose right. Maybe going to the natural thyroid replacement may work for me. I certainly hope it does.
What's with all the whinging soy-boys, whining/crooning songs on rock radio? I mean, belt those fuckers out, children! Take a lesson from one of the women of rock: Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, for instance. Pretty sure she has more balls than a lot of those soyboys who think whining lyrics is going to get them tail. Pretty sure she gets more groupies, too.
As far as I can tell, the local public school district has done ONE THING to try to prevent another hit-and-run-by-a-semi accident on our busy road. No, they've not changed how the bus stopping for pickup happens. They put up signs. Signs that should have been there all along, alerting traffic that buses stop along this road. One going each way. There's no speed enforcement (and some of these assholes tear through here heading toward seventy or more), the bus doesn't actually pull into the trailer park, and only pulls into the duplex/quadplex/apartment parking lots across the road to turn around. The children aren't considered because it's not the ones that matter to the city council and/or school board living out here.
We have a winter storm watch for this weekend. We're either getting freezing rain/sleet/snow mix, or just snow. I'd rather have snow, if I must put up with any of it.*
The Christmas tree goes up tonight.
Imp is still using my pen for spelling practice. The pencil I got for him to use at school "doesn't work." In other words, he doesn't know how to use it properly, and can't figure out what went wrong with it so he can fix it. Granted, he is only ten, but I do remember being a bit more competent with mechanical pencils at that age. I'll try sending pencil grips and see if that might help a bit.
If the mail was running normally today, I'd have had two packages on my front porch, rather than just one. Because both were turned over to the local USPS for delivery late yesterday, but only one delivered today (probably because of the contract they have with Amazon Prime). When that second one arrives, I have...three? Yes, three people left to get Christmas presents for that won't be getting something perishable.
Not that I blame the shippers. But I don't recall the USPS taking an unscheduled day off for Regan's funeral.
No, I'm not in the best of moods today. But some of these things have been building, and the rest...just...dropped. All at once.
*I'd rather not have to deal with winter precip yet at all. But that's not something I have a choice about.

Have your hubby work with him on the mechanical pencil. Make it a game to fix it!
ReplyDeleteIt got left with his teacher, and I'm better with fixing little fiddly things like that. I mean, I play with fountain pens, and have fixed vintage lever-fill fountain pens. But yeah, when it comes home, I'll work with him. I'll work with him on the one still here at home when he's done with dinner.
