JILLI! Did you see this Living Social deal for skull print scarves?
Oooh, nope! scurries off to look
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I called my father's GF to wish her happy birthday. She put dad on the line. I said I didn't want to talk politics. He started talking politics. After him saying in several different ways the info I was saying is flat wrong, and he wasn't going to listen to it because he hates Obama, and then continued to spew the misinformation that Fox/Romney/Koch/Rove spew. So, I hung up on him in mid sentence. I said 3 or 4 times, I don't want to talk politics if we can not agree on the facts. That there is no point in it. And he kept going. I feel bad, like I am being disrespectful of my elders and all. But. Fuck that. I had a hard day. I'm not fighting on the phone. Life is too short, and not worth the blood pressure. ugg. How am I a product of this family?!?!

I should go to bed. TCG went to bed hours ago, but I'm not sure if I'm tired enough to sleep. I don't want to toss and turn and keep him up when he's already not feeling well.

I'm confused. The county assessor has sent me 4 pieces of mail. All dated within a few days of each other. One is a bill for the next 12 months. One is a check saying you paid too much now that the house sold for a lower amount, and two that say the assessment of the property has been reduced to the purchase price. But the bill is still based on the higher assessment. Ugg. Must call and hash it all out.

omnis,
if it isn't too far away, this sounds like something you need to handle in person.

I second handling it in person.
Saw my shrink today. He wants me to increase my Seroquel and see if that will help. Also reminded me I need to get a GP. Got my lab results - cholesterol levels are wonderful. My D is low and my thyroid numbers were on the high side so he suggested I 1) get a GP and 2) have them do a complete thyroid work up.
I go back to see him in 4 weeks and if I'm not doing better we'll add or completely change my current medication.

I called the assessor office. The bill (that is sent out end of September) is based on the value assessed in January. I purchased the condo in July. So the bill is for the value as of January of 2012. The check is a refund for the difference in amount due. So? They pre-refund me before I pay. But, for whatever reason, can't just show that as a credit on the bill, so the bill is less. So I deposit the check, and write another. Wow. Talk about efficient government! Crazy! Crazy I tell ya!

Somebody please reassure me that I'm not a horrible disgusting person.

Why on earth would you be a horrible disgusting person? You're not, unless you've been REALLY GOOD at lying to all of us for the past, what, 10 years?

The mice. There was one in one of the traps. I couldn't deal with it (majorly phobic) so I went to ring the landlords' door, and they got rid of it, and she could see that I was really upset, and she said, "We never had them before" and then shook her finger at me and said, "And make sure you don't leave any more food out so that there aren't any more."
