Re: AW/Open Letter/Vent

  • My vent is that somehow my dog got an ulcer on her eye.  So now we have to give her these drops every two hours and hope that it goes away.  If it doesn't, or if the drops work but there was damage to the eye, we have to do surgery (which they said would cost several thousand dollars).  Seriously?!  This has not been our year with the dogs.

  • Dear Body,

    WTF is up with this cold/sore throat shit? It's MAY! And I was on vacation when you decided to shirk your immune system duties. Get it together and clear this crap out ASAP or we're going to have bigger issues!

  • Vent: My nails are super long right now and I was just telling a coworker this morning that I wanted to go get a manicure and have them cut down a bit. Then this afternoon, I got a paper cut on my pinky right where the nail meets the skin(Ouch!) So now I have to wait for it to heal before I can get my mani! (I guess this could also be a FWP)

    Dear Reproductive System,

    I know we don't see eye to eye on how exactly you should be behaving but frankly, I think its really shitty that you aren't doing your job yet I still have to deal with all of the uncomfortable/painful symptoms as if you were. We need to come to some sort of agreement on this...pronto!

    Love,
    Me

  • Dear boss,

    Get your shit together. As a manager, if I complain about an employee's performance, I hope my opinion would at least go in one ear. Now we're 6 months down the road and you decide I need to fire him tomorrow. Same thing happened with the last guy. But of course, make sure you ignore me when it comes around again with someone else. And no, I'm not HR so I should not have to fire him. Grumble.

    Sincerely,

    Glad my opinion matters

    As for AW - home inspections tomorrow and Friday and meeting with the bank on Friday. This one better work out. I don't think I can handle losing another house. Which leads me to...

    Dear 2014,

    Let's agree to disagree about the way you think our lives should go this year. Rather let's agree to make the next 6 months count. Ready, go!

    Thanks,

    Girl who can't take any more of your crap
  • @LuckyAngel07‌ spring/summer colds are the suck. I hope you feel better soon! @sparklingdiamond‌ -- I hope your pup's eye heals up and she doesn't need surgery! @arj14‌ congrats on the new job!!!
  • @arj14 - Congrats on the new job! Hope that the transition goes smoothly.

    @sparklingdiamond - T&P for your pup.  DH and I have been considering getting a puppy and he keeps bringing up the chance of high vet bills.  Hope it heals on it's own so you don't have to invest too much into it.
  • @poppies717 - Wanna make a 'I hate 2014 fan club'? I'm all for it with you!
  • @simsk3887‌ Yes!

    Not to hijack, but it's been a shit year. Failed IVF; loss; medical emergencies (2) with family and friends; cancer and disease diagnoses (3) in family and friends; and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

  • @poppies717 - Between the two of us, I think we deserve all the wine. We've got some similar stories for the year. I think we each should be due to win the lottery soon.
  • Dear RE,
    Thanks for only having a Sono HSG date on 6/6... With a no sex rule till the test... Ofcourse all I want to do now is have sex with my husband....hahaha
    Frustrated,

    Dear thyroid,
    Please cooperate tomorrow during my repeat blood draw and improve my numbers so there isn't one more thing over my head that is 'wrong' already in this process.

  • Dear body,

    I'm sorry I ate gluten and drank liquor for 5 days straight.  It was delicious and a good break to not worry about what I was eating, but you can cooperate and O already.  You can also stop making my stomach so tender that I don't want to touch it.

    I still love/hate you,

    That girl who feeds you things you don't like.
