Do things seem to speed up at the holidays? I think they do. And doesn't it seem like anything that can go wrong will? (See: my sister's big ol' problem.) Just, yikes. I think her thing? Far worse than ours, which right now is a non-functioning thermostat in the bedroom. We do have the heat, finally, but perhaps infinitesimally worse, we can't make it hotter or colder in the room. It's like you've got a raw egg without a shell in one hand and a pooping baby chicken in the other. Both are awful. Before the heat we were so cold that it was uncomfortable, but last night I woke up at like 1:30 am and thought my skin was melting off. And the repair of the thermostat? Uncomfortable, to say the least, considering our landlord, who seems to think that it's not really her responsibility. I shudder to think how she would handle a problem on the magnitude of my sister's.
And then there are the problems of your own making, such as when you drop a can of diet coke from such a height that it splatters all over the carpet, the couch, and worst of all, the right side of your computer. I'm not ashamed to say that the couch and the carpet? In bad shape, because all I cared about was the damn computer, which I immediately turned over and let drain, all over the floor. Didn't help the floor, but if it saved the computer, amen. And as you can read, I am using it right now. I'm still scared shitless, but Sam told me that it's most likely okay if it didn't die right away. Shite, man. I can't afford to lose this baby.
And then there are the problems my body is creating for me, which I'm sort of hoping are ending right this very minute. Or in process of. Without being too gross (sorry boys, but I'm not in the mood to talk around this), I've been having some breakthrough (due to...erm...contraceptive measures) and it's f-ing gross and I'm sick of it. I'm JUST SICK OF IT. Don't worry, I've talked to my doctor about it, and it's not cause for worry right now. Give it five days, and it'll be panic central over here.
Anyway, what was I saying? Yeah, holidays = problems. Cross your fingers and hope they all work out.
