What's mildly irritating you today?

[Jaydaan]

I washed my son's phone many times, as long as it was off before the wash, and dried out before turning back on, we were all good...

SG, you can get size adjusters.. to add about 2 inches to the band of bras, so your 38 can be a 42 or add 2 and have a 46ish. They have them at some of the shops over here... if you can't get them over there, I could pick up one or two and ship them over.

Great, mom.

Waiting to let it dry out and see if it still works, though I doubt it.

"They" say to put it in a bowl of uncooked rice to dry it out. I just leave mine on the window sill for a few days. Don't turn it on until it is dried out.

What a pisser. That happened to me one time with one of those "buy 2 get 1 free (by mail)" bra sales. The size I got by mail wasn't remotely close to my size and came with a letter basically saying "Screw you". I gave it away and won't fall for that shit again.

At the grocery store, there was a "lost dog" poster on the column in the parking lot. Driving home, there was a "found dog" poster on a light pole with a photo of what was clearly the same dog.

I have tried the phone numbers on both fliers multiple times; no one is answering and there is no voicemail or answering machine at either one. I have a sneaking suspicion that I've been part of a social experiment.

Aw, thanks! I didn't see this!
The bra and pants arrived today - in the end I asked for them in a size I thought would sell - I am all set up on eBay now thanks to my pre-pay credit card. Just need to load some money onto it So I will never fit into the bra, although I could have done if I'd checked back here Never mind - they're okay, but not GORGEOUS, you know.

What's irritating me this week - dreams featuring my evil ex. And he's SO nice to me in the dreams. He offered me his flat FOC to stay in the other night, and his car to drive (not that he had one three years ago when we were last in contact). Why am I dreaming of him all of a sudden? And why is he behaving the way I wish he's behaved back then? What sort of screwed up mind am I left with? Argh. Blame it on the lack of booze.

[Juniper]

Blood pressure issues. Again. Still.

Second follow-up at the doctor yesterday, BP still 174/120. New meds today. So many pills I'm gonna start rattling. Let's see...we've got Metoprolol, Triamterene, Simvastatin and baby aspirin. My tummy feels funny and I'm tired.

AND I have a cracked heel.

This is not one of my best days.

[DanaC]

Oh Juni *hugs* honey, that's horrible. Can I ask...are you resting at all? You really, really need to take some time out and rest up if at all possible. We know what you're like...you do too much and try to take the whole world on your shoulders.

[Juniper]

Resting? I'm allowed to rest? Actually I'm always beating myself up for being so lazy. I haven't done a damn thing all day, except for moving six boxes of vinyl records out of the condo. Whew. Well, and I vacuumed the pool (I cheat - it's an automatic cleaner, I just have to hook it up). And I'm about to do some laundry. And make dinner. But other than that, nothing.

I've still gotta work on the condo. Hubby talked me out of having the yard sale there, so I'm bringing everything here to my garage, little by little. It's almost empty inside except for some heavy things I can't move. But I've given up painting it -- Friday night I'm supposed to get some guy out to give me a quote on painting it. I'm just not up to the job right now, and it doesn't appear that anyone is gonna help me. Then after that, someone else will clean the carpet. I figure I can put it on the market with junk in the garage still, as long as it's sort of organized.

GOD I cannot wait to get this over with! It's been such a weight dragging me down for the past 18 months.

[DanaC]

That weight dragging you down is probably a big factor in your bp probs. Well done for deicing to get someone else in to decorate. Very sensible. You need to expedite that withou piling the work onto your own shoulders. And...I really don't get how you can possibly think yourself lazy. :P

Seriously Juni, you have to carve out some rest time. You really do. Your family will not thankyou if you make yourself ill.

On a more positive note, once that condo is dealt with you'll hopefully feel tons better.

[ZenGum]

Yup, condo = worrry = stress = blood pressure.

I am a bit about hubby's (apparently minimal) role in dealing with the condo. But I don't have full information so I'm just gonna him some.

[monster]

Juni.

JUST
FUCKING
STOP

yup. I used the F-word.

I know busy like you do. I am busy like you do. But I don't have blood pressure like you do. And if I did, I'd be shitting bricks. If you're like me, it's impossible to "relax" in the traditional sense, but you need to do something -something different. You need the physical without the mental. Go for long country walks. If you find yourself creating a mental to do list, count your steps or your breaths until that us obliterated.
