I need to whine

The brainucopia is irritated. It needs some soothing something or other.

I lost my 8gb flash drive. It had a lot of files on it, including some important ones that were not backed up elsewhere. There were also a lot of personal documents on there, along with photos and some medical records. I am a moron.

The check engine light has been on in my car for almost a week. I checked the gas cap and filled the gas tank, but the light is still on. Apparently, according to the folks at Jeep, the catalytic converter is attempting to speak to me. I've had those conversations before and they're never cheap.

Still no word from Joanna.

Jolie is also laying low.

My husband's evil cat tried to rip my arm off near the shoulder and now I have a nasty puncture wound and deep purple bruise. It looks like that cute young man from Twilight was sucking on the inner side of my upper arm. Surprisingly, the cat is still alive.

My cold has forced me to be a mouth breather and as a result, my belly has a trapped air bubble deep in my lower intestine. No yoga pose or relaxation exercise has done anything to dislodge it. This is painful.

I've been more diligent about doing my physical therapy exercises at home. No change in my pelvis. Sigh.

My car needs tires; I don't have the money.

I lost 12 pounds but my clothing size didn't change at all. Not even a little. Nothing. In fact, I tried on some clothes last week and half of the size 16W pants and skirts were way too small.

The tax changges this year meant we lost the entire amount we got as stimulus money 12 months ago.

Nobody loves me. Not only that, I was unfriended by several people on Facebook--and they're all relatives. I am filled with inane thoughts. I get it.

I spent over $100 at Staples on Monday and today I got a coupon in the mail for 15% off my next purchase. No, it wasn't sent out because I bought something; apparently, it was a non-event-specific mailing that meant I went shopping two days too early.

Next post: acupuncture, medical marijuana, and other recent adventures.
