Inconvenient Annoyances

I found the only thing that saved me was a down duvet and a woolly hat.

LOL... I'm sitting under a duvet and a blanket while in my parka with the hood up.  And my heating is on! 

I found the only thing that saved me was a down duvet and a woolly hat.

And fuzzy socks!

And fuzzy socks!

I'm wearing fuzzy socks UNDER my (fake)Uggs. It helps a little. But JUST a little.

I have the heating on, and am wearing long underwear and 2 pairs of socks and am still cold.

I really feel for you guys with crap heating, as I was there myself last year.
Hugs and warmth to you!!!

Tesco can't deliver tonight because the roads are too slippery.  I get it because they have to keep their drivers safe, but they could have told us earlier than twenty minutes before our time slot was over.  Plus, some of that food was supposed to be tomorrow's lunch.  I skipped lunch today because we don't have anything that I can use for lunch food, only lots of beef, chicken and pork.   

I'm with you guys about the heating. We have electric radiators, and they don't work in the bedroom and bathroom! We have a space heater which we put on in the bedroom to warm it up right before we go to sleep. It makes me very cranky. Someone is supposed to be coming to look at it either this morning or tomorrow morning...

My other IA: I thought my cold was just about gone, but I woke up today really congested and just feeling generally awful...

Woke up in awful neck pain again. (This time at 4, 5, 6, and 7am, for added fun!) Managed to kind of get back to sleep, but my neck is seriously hurting.

UP for it: my kitty (who's usually very focused on "love me [for 5 seconds], now feed me!" in the mornings, was curled up right next to me (to the point where I had to shift him a bit to breathe) and purring away like a madman. (And now, even though he still hasn't been fed, he's on my lap purring away again.)

Ugggggghhhhhh.......

I managed to cause an underfloor flood in my flat- due to my inability to hook up my washing machine hose properly- and I didn't know it was leaking or flooding - as my kitchen floor wasn't wet- but apparently, it crept through a crack in the cupboard- and come to find my neighbour ringing my bell at midnight with a flooded kitchen and he was not very happy. He then rang me again at 6am to say it hadn't stopped yet. Because I was tinkering with the washing machine hose to hook my dishwasher up - its my fault and I will get to pay for the damages. Fun.

I have a American iTunes account I used my sisters credit card to set it up a couple years back but I only use gift cards when using my American account. I just bought a $15 card while we were home an I have nearly $15 in my account already so I have nearly $30 in there an it wont let me use it    because my sisters credit card is expired an she needs to update her account I didn't have this problem last year.  I have a hard time getting a hold of my sister cause she has 2 jobs so she works alot of weird hours an the time diff doesn't help at all either grrr!!     I tried using my UK account but the song I want isn't on the UK iTunes typical!!    My 2nd IA is I have Jet lag big time good thing I don't have anywhere to go cause I'm sooo tired    & homesickness is starting to kick in as well I feel bad for Dh cause he will get the brunt of my crankiness  thank goodness he has the Patience of a saint!!  

Turns out I was right to mope - the dr just rang to say I tested positive for swine flu! Oh joy of joys! This is after having the flu vaccine that supposedly contained H1N1, too. Boo!

So now I've got to get the bus back into hospital this morning to pick up the tamiflu, I've been told to stay home from work this week so the office have to bike my office laptop over to me (beautiful timing - tomorrow we launch after three YEARS of solid work!), and my husband was starting to cough last night so we don't know if he's got it now, too.

And I'll miss the office Christmas party on Friday.

But mostly I'm laughing. Some times, what more can you do??? (and also, having had both now, I can safely say meningitis makes you feel a thousand times worse than swine flu!!)

Ohh feel better and man you have a positive attitude - I love it! What can you do except take care of yourself ;-)

Holy cow!  I'm so sorry that happened to you phatbeetle My washer the other day, as I was opening up a finished load of laundry, spilled water all over the kitchen floor. Hopefully you can sort this situation out relatively painlessly 

My IA: I have a busy day today with essay work and moving in to my new place and I managed to wake up sick this morning with an extremely sore throat and runny nose. I also managed to find rat droppings by my bed this morning  Thankfully, I'll only have to deal with this place for two more days.

Oooh goodness. That really, truly sucks.  I'm sorry.  Feel better soon!! And I love your positive attitude.

Thanks- I'm really not enjoying dealing with this situation on top of my car situation.
