Our landlord is apparently not speaking to us at all and has apparently random people passing along messages to us. Sigh. I'm having a Gin and St Germain cocktail which is slightly lessening my rage toward everyone (Buffistas not included) today.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

So apparently a year and a half after shoulder surgery, I should not still be having random moments of deep, aching pain and tingling fingers. Hubby had a visit with the surgeon--we share surgeons, how special--today, and to quote him, "Sometimes the bones don't get the message that we were serious when we went in and changed something." So I get to call for an appointment to pop into his office before work and get pictures of the shoulder to see what's going on.
I don't know if I want to have surgery again, but that thinking is because I've been going "It didn't do much blessed good, why do it again?" I really, really didn't like having my arm strapped up and motionless. Then again, I don't want to be told, "Oh, we did fix it as much as possible, welcome to the wonderful world of osteoarthritis."

also, I've got that design seeds website up, and I'm not sure how to use it. Is it to show you how various colors work together?

Someone tell me that I am not crazy wrt one thing: We should not be responsible for dealing with changing lightbulbs, etc in the common areas of our apartment building, right?

No, you are not crazy; that is the landlord's responsibility.

Thanks, Sail. The light fixtures in the hallway and outside are either burnt out or broken and you would think we asked him for a million dollars. He lives down the street.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Maybe some past tenant took care of the lightbulbs without realizing.

Maybe. I think he is just cheap and doesn't want to be bothered about anything.

Thrive to spite them
I just found out my great aunt (who has been in declining health) has just taken a serious turn for the worse. She's not really drinking and has stopped talking. I love Great Aunt C like a grandmother (and in fact growing up I'd half the time call her Grandma C) and my Grandma E (her older sister) may not get up to see her before she dies.
I don't want Great Aunt C to be in pain but I wish that Grandma could see her one more time. It's only a 6 hour drive but because of health and family situations Grandma hasn't been able to get up and see her and it's just....very sad.

{{{askye}}} I'm so sorry. That's very sad.
