[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 197332, member: 179"] (Random Deb post) I have ONE day off in 10 days. Today. I thought it would be nice to actually sleep in a bit. No...neighbor is tearing up his driveway. There is a huge construction crew with the loudest machinery imaginable. Great. Toss in my [B]HUGELY[/B] swollen legs. There is no definition from my knees to my toes. I can't even flex my toes. I go in (on my day off) to meet with the human resources person about this and the carpal tunnel. No rings, hence Aussie boy, but I informed my supervisor yesterday. Maybe if I showed him my legs he would run screaming. (Well, I'd take screaming in a lovely accent.) If I find a pin, I might pop them and see what comes out. Sporks don't work so well. husband and I get in a huge argument last night. That's always a good thing when you just finish a 10 hour shift. He thinks I'm not helping around the house enough. Hmmm...let's get a check sheet going. I spent $60 on groceries. BAD ABBEY. It was a flipping nickel sale. Buy one, get the second for a nickel. It was good stuff, too! I tried to mow our yard but father in law stopped me and said that was a man's job. Well, talk to your son. Why didn't you clean up after the birds? Well...let's see. After two times in the morning before I went to work for 10 hours, I also had to clean your dishes you throw in the sink and let sit in stinking cold water all day and your coffee mess. Then there is the randomly left clothes all over the house. How about the bathroom which I have never used since I moved in that you want cleaned? You use it. You clean it. Oh, and there are the 3 loads of laundry that I did last night that I had to run back and forth more times than I can count to your parent's house because you can't figure out how to get our FREE washer and dryer to our house. We're having this 'conversation' while I'm making dinner after work, then proceed to make dinner for tonight so I can just pop in the crock pot and enjoy my day off. Naw. I'm up half the night because of my arm and legs, then wake to construction. Ugh. Granny pants guy is flying in today. I have to drive to Milwaukee to pick him up. Driving has become a huge fear for me. I take the bus nearly every day. I just don't like unfamiliar places, especially ones that are 6 lanes wide. I just fed my birds a hot dog and they loved it. They're screaming for more. I still have no bed or a couch, which is with the washer and dryer. Star didn't answer my call. (Gee...wonder why. ;)) She gets Random Deb all the time. Sorry, sweetie. You'll get over it. I still don't know my zip code. Ahhh...found it on one of my many post-it notes hanging from my desk. My hair is frizzy. I mean REALLY frizzy. I'm not used to the humidity. Ok. I'm done. Sigh. I apologize if you've made it this far. Going to see HR lady...might pop by the deli at this point.:winking: Abbey [/QUOTE]
