Antibiotics. Or my leg, I guess. Take your pick. I'm off work again with my leg because of some circulation thing which may or may not come back, but if it does the specialist has said it'll take a long ass time on these antibiotics that make me tired making the bed and meanwhile this time has been going on since april 22nd and I need to come in and re-evaluate on August 2nd. Meanwhile I've got this Princess and the pea thing going on with my leg and sleep with 12 pillows under my legs (but usually more because every 20 mins or so I fall asleep while sitting up because of the meds.)
And every time I go in the doctor asks how my attitude can be so great after all this, and I just say "Because it could be worse." And I'm sure that being positive about it is helping it not be worse. But damn I'm getting tired of this. So much so I want to go back to work and be compared to Hitler. I miss this! People don't realize how tiring just being in bed all the time is. Theno and I recorded last week for an hour, and I slept for 14 hours straight. Right through my alarm to take my pill.
And I pretty much don't even know what day it is anymore, my life is just a series of alarms separated by 6 hour intervals and I live in a basement.
And the mother of the rescue dogs that we saved and brought to their forever home? Every time I go upstairs I expect to find her not breathing. She's old, doesn't seem to be in pain, but is going blind and all she does is sit there and just stare, like some old fold abandoned at a home. And I keep trying to bring it up with my dad but he's a big softie and he keeps hoping she'll get better.
And tomorrow I have to go in and prove that I am a real, live Canadian and that I was born here and have always been a Canadian because apparently my SIN has been deemed inactive because of all of the time I spent out of the country.
And all the money I saved from the job where people call me Hitler because I can't remove the Amber Alert from their tv screens is gone towards antibiotics. And because of antibiotics I missed the GoG and Steam Summer sales.
And now they've found some resistant to the last resort antibiotics we have. So yeah. Fuck antibiotics and the gravol I have to take with each pill that makes me loopy.
TL;DR: Invest in Gravol while you can. I'm buying it in bulk!
My work building has mice in it. A few years back we returned from christmas break to find everything covered in mouse poo (there was a scheduling mix up and the wet garbage was left over the 2 week break), so the facilities people put out bait traps so we could have green mouse poo everywhere, I guess it's festive or something.
This spring, we asked them to remove the bait traps, as they were pretty much just feeding stations, and it seemed to be some sort of vitamin mix because there were more mice than ever, we could hear them in the ceilings, and in the walls of our cubicles, it was pretty creepy.
When the feeding stations went away, so did the mice and no poo for months.
So, what does facilities do? They bring back the feeding stations and everything's green poo again.
Thanks for bringing the mice back, pest control. I just overheard a conversation with the facilities guy and my boss, he was trying to explain that the baiting stations were getting rid of the mice. What a fucking scam.
Get office cats. Cute, and effective.
Also, dear, laptop.
Please don't die before I can replace you. Please.

...I cannot help it, I know this is awful, but the way that was phrased, I laughed. Hard.
Hopefully they'll be able to figure it out. It does sound rather like a scam, though, so maybe if you know the name of the exterminators, take a peek at their better business bureau ratings or similar. If other clients have similar issues, they may be noted there and you'll have something more concrete to bring to your boss about it.
You and my dad seem to be having similar symptoms, and attitudes. Similar treatment.
So keep forward, motherfucker.
@HorrorHound I'm scheduled for a blood flow test, which just sounds like some sort of nefarious vampire scheme. She said it could take months because there is a super long waiting list. (Which is typical in Canada. Yeah, we don't have to pay every time we see a doctor, but the trade off is that we have super long wait times. Took them from September to July of grade 9 to figure out it was my appendix, because even when I went into the emergency room and they would poke me and ask if it hurt my answer was "Not now, but it would have 3 hours ago when I came in.")
Anyway, I give blood and I bleed well. I can sit at the table and have a bag full and leave before someone who sat down after me. So I don't know what the test is going to show.
But I'm doing what "I'm supposed to and it really could be worse. Plus I get ice cream for being an adult about things, so it works out.
Dangit. My Windows is OEM. /shakefist
Admittedly, that is why I like the USA's system. Flash green, get seen. Bam.
Spider webs. Specifically spider webs of this one asshole spider who likes to build invisible webs right across the door out of the house. It doesn't even chill anywhere near the web so it knows when it caught something, just every day, sometimes multiple times a day, no matter how many times it's destroyed it just goes back and hangs web all across the doorway.
@Insomnia There are a couple of orb weavers that do that.
Some will build the web in the evening and take them down in the morning, and it tends to leave stuff behind. We get them on the door and awnings here, too.
They tend to hide out during the day, but you have to watch at night to avoid getting a faceful of unhappiness. 
A better scenario is, uh, maybe they were just passing through and left a strand. I don't think they turn off the faucet so much, so it leaves a trail behind more or less everywhere they go.
Oh fucking well.

Yeah, I'm sure that repeatedly having the sticky effluence of an incontinent spider adhere to your face and hair is a much better scenario.
@BetterJudgment Well, better than there being an angry, flailing spider there, at least? (I'm an arachnophobe, anything is better than an angry flailing spider.)
For today's rage bait: There is a show on television called The Rich Kids of Instagram. And here I thought the whole Kim K-clan thing was stupid shit no one should ever give the first casual damn about. This... just wow.
Oh fucking well.
It doesn't really make me angry (I don't mind/care) but the two otherwise perfectly nice and polite ladies at my gym who come over and never do anything that requires, well, a gym. They bring their own elastic bands and do stretches, they use benches only to lean against while they do bodyweight exercises - a chair would do just fine in the exact same manner - and although they utilize the mirror a lot surely there are reflecting surfaces at their homes, too?
It just seems weird to pay $$ for the privilege. Oh, they warm up I guess on the cycles, that's something.
@Arkandel Depending on where you live/etc., it may be a matter of 'tiny apartment' or similar. (We live in a house small enough that there's no space for any of it here, for instance.)
Could also be 'get away from persistent kids' and such, too.
When I had a gym membership I did many things at the gym that I could probably have done at home but forcing myself to go to the gym also forced me to actually do those things.
Apparently the unasked for dick pic has now morphed into the unasked for masturbation video clip. It would be wrong to post it on the internet, right? So the world can share my disgust. WTF, people??? WHY????
@VulgarKitten I'd say if the guy thought to share it with you out of the blue he's relinquished the rights to privacy. Go for it.

This cannot be a first for you...
Have you only been female for 10 minutes?
@Haven Oh sorry. I'll send a dick pic too then as is tradition.
