Happy The End.

I've been out of a job since November which makes my life boring.

Living with the in laws since beginning of December. They're the complete opposite of me and it's starting to grate on my nerves. (And I'm sure theirs as well - since both our lifestyles are completely disrupted.) And the house is very claustrophobic physically - doilies and bric-a-brac and just stuff shoved everywhere (and no wish to declutter, because that broken back scratcher stuffed on top of those books may be needed one day). And claustrophobic mentally with just constant talk of nothing and TV and radio. And lots of misinformation spouted from news and other weird sources. (I was told broken glass can't be recycle. ???? )

Last night, mother in law said the litter smelled. I'm fiercely protective of my cats. I clean it every day and ensure there's lots of litter in there so kitties can cover up. If they've just gone, of course it's going to smell. I'm sure the bathroom doesn't smell like rose water when you're done. Anyways, she had the gall to tell me she's sensitive to smells. Sensitive. To smells.

There are a dozen differently scented candles in the living room. There are a multitude of highly scented cleaning products. (Cleaner for the sink, for the counter, for the floors, for the toilet, for the whatever.) I have to hold my breath if I use the upstairs bath because she's got these sticks in this sickly sweet vanilla oil. They have two or three different types of shampoo/conditioner, shaving gels, body wash, Irish Spring soap, hair sprays and scented hand soap with germ busting beads. Laundry time I have to close the door and lock myself in my room because of the Tide. When staying over (re: not using my own sheets) I can't sleep because they smell too much. But she says she's sensitive to smells. Good grief!

Oh yeah, she wanted to buy us plastic spoons for when I feed the cats canned food. Because the metal spoons that get sterilized in the dishwasher aren't clean?

It's too cold out to have the windows open and there's absolutely no air circulation. The bedroom always smells stale. I'm sure the 12 year old dusty pink carpet doesn't help.

Being really irritable once a month doesn't help either. And neither does not having any social network to fall back on. (Totally my fault because I'm not really social.) My poor boyfriend gets to hear complaints from both sides. Poor guy.


And my boyfriend does have gallstones. Apparently a lot. So mother in law is pushing for surgery. I want to find out more because my boyfriend isn't a older, weighty woman who takes statins.

So woe is me. When it rains it pours. Lah-de-dah.

Practically everything can be recycled...broken or brand new doesn't matter.

I've been having crazy headaches lately, going to bed with a headache and waking up with one all day a couple of times a week. I think it's stress related or its something else...not sure but it's quite bothersome. But i picked up hours at work this week so instead of working 3 day's i get 4 day's. Not a huge difference but i need to make as much money as i can right now.

Why is it that everytime misinformation always gets blamed on fox news networks right away?

Study Confirms Fox News Makes You Stupid xd

Thanks Ta Lu! heart

I'm hoping we can move back to BC sooner than later. As much fun it is not to work, it gets pretty tiring pretty quick. I'm in that awkward position of having lots of experience but not enough educational background to move up. Means that I'm over qualified for lots of jobs and under qualified for the rest. And I doubt anyone wants to hire me for two months. Undoubtedly me/us being constantly here "doing nothing" grates on her nerves.

Thankfully here there are lots more places to go for walks. In Ottawa, trails, if you could call them that, were as wide as a road, short, and crowded. Here we have lots to choose from. Unfortunately it's darned cold and neither of us are winter people. Why did we move here?! Lol.

I'm not sure how your folks are, but I know that some older people just get stuck in their ways. They're redoing the kitchen and at the moment there's an argument (not angry like) if vented microwaves exist. ......


@ Teh_plague - I clench my jaw. A lot. It gives me headaches. Have you noticed that you've been clenching your jaw? If so, maybe try a hot compress? Or even better, a nice hot bubble bath?


I finished Under The Dome. It was good. It had a lot, I mean, a lot of product placement in it. It was really distracting from the story. I can understand a bit of products dropped here and there, but I'm talking products every five pages. And the constant explosions and body parts here and there (I'm not sure the validity of intestines flying like streamers behind a falling body). Typical King and it was okay. Not excellent, but okay.

Anyways! Terribly sorry for being a grumpy pants and airing out my woe is me dirty laundry. You guys are great.

I don't watch any news and the stuff I read is "alternative" stuff like Jezebel, Pravada and that Alternet. I find all news basis and no one ever fully covers the story - they're always pushing their own agenda, be it left, right, up or down. And the writing is just downright terrible. They repeat the same thing over just in different words.

If you want to loosen your neck muscles, this YouTube is pretty good. I haven't done the whole hour, but the first bit is nice and good:

And there's a lot of smiling and nodding done at this house. 3nodding

@ Pirhan - I made it through about 10 minutes of that youtube and called it good. I just woke up (totally just passed out while watching tv) and i think doing yoga at the moment will lead to more sleep lol. But my neck does feel considerably better after just stretching like that. Thanks for the link.

The news has become less than helpful i think due to them pushing their agenda's back and forth down our throats. Which is why i take it all with a grain of salt, Like that studies findings being used to show that more fox viewers were misinformed than any other groups viewers were just ridiculous because according the the studies results 95% of people who took the survey were misinformed and more of them said they read the news paper than watched fox news, more of them watch msnbc or cnn than fox news too so to say that fox viewers were more misinformed is ridiculous) Msnbc and Cnn viewers were in fact like half a percent from being the same level as Fox viewers so it says a lot about all of the news networks.
I'm dropping this though because i don't want this place to turn all political because i think we all have a different goal thats more important than republican or democrat and that's whats important.

Im looking at adopting a pit bull but i really dont want to put down the additional security deposit on this place and the extra $40 a month in rent. plus the pet limit is 45 pounds and a lot of pit bulls reach 60+ so they would try and make me get rid of the dog. Oh well just a dream for now.

Have you been drinking enough water Plague? Stress and dehydration can cause some big headaches.

Because every time I watch them they always go off onto tangents. and talk in circles. Its the same as the news on WB11 or at least thats what I still call it
