These last few days have really sucked, I tell you what.

Yeah, I meant to say welcome home the other day, but now it seems a little inappropriate. Poor Raq.

Time for some ouzo.

Tora tora tora.

Oh, Raq. That's horrid. So glad you and Mal are safely home. IMO, your DH owes you extra footrubs and drink-getting and general coddling because of hiding your cell. However much rubbing and drinking and coddling you already deserve merely by being his DW who had a truly shitty, miserable day? Double that, or possibly triple.

((Raq))

My DW just called on the cell phone to tell me the van's break light is on. I offered to come out, but then she said I didn't have any good ideas and hung up on me before I could ask if the parking break may be up a little. Apparently she turned off the phone or isn't answering, so I can't tell her the suggestion.

I was coming in to whine about how I'm sitting under a very large umbrella at my desk because the ceiling in my office is leaking (the A/C line or somesuch is apparently VERY old and maint. is trying to fix it).

HOWEVER - Raq, your day sounds absolutely awful and I'm so sorry you're dealing with that much crud. Bravo on not poking a few unhelpful people with sticks, though. {{{{you}}}}

Aw, hell, Gud.

Then she can deal with it herself, Gud. No longer your issue if she wants to be childish and mean.

Which is easier said than done and all that, I know. {{Gud}}

I'm just frustrated and worried because I don't know if it's a real problem or not.

Ugh. What an icky day! {{{Raq}}} {{{Gud}}}

Everyone who needs one can take a Mulligan for today.
