Oh no. What surgery did you have? I hope the infection goes away fast as that does not sound fun to deal with! I can hardly sit without pain as I have a fissure that is having problems healing but it heals and reoccurs so I guess I just have to wait it out again.
cleft lift surgery for a pilonidial cyst I had done a year ago, it took forever to heal up due to minor things but it decided to be mean yet again….ugh, I am still hating these anti-biotics today too, they’re giving me tummy issues now, ugh….
4 things I'm looking for:
1. Mother Meerkat
2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male GriffinWe lost my paternal Gran today. That makes three close family deaths in four months. Can this year be over yet please? Or at least less.. horrible?
well i am nothing as much as anybody else, but whine..the flu..and I have two packages that are supposed to go out tomorrow for ebay sales and no one to take them to the post office…..i feel like a train hit me…and then backed up and ran me over a few more times just to be sure…
yuck..i feel miserably tired and sick in my belly. and I can’t find my thermometer. at least I am selling my work..but i still have two commissions to do still and i am stuck in bed again. and feverish enough that i am sweating… :~ :Sp

https://www.redbubble.com/people/prezaurian?ref=artist_title_nameSpoiler alert: Below is a rant, whine, horror, new car, and disgusting moment story all rolled into my weekend from hell… DISCLAIMER: Sorry, parts of this are pretty gross and involve dead things amd involuntary protein and waste spills but you have been warned!
So… to make a long story short. My mother is finally getting booted out of our family home I grew up in with my sister and brothers from the city because she can’t pay her taxes. Correction, not CAN’T pay them… just WON’T pay them. Fully paid off house and attached 20,000 sq ft business building that used to be worth over 2 million dollars has slowly been decaying over the past 30 years. The very symbol of our family is this property, rotting and falling apart.
Now it’s going to get bulldozeed now that my mother has been legally kicked out of this property she has been squatting in for free the past 7 years since she kicked my sister and I out of it. Anyway, that’s all a rant for another day, what happened is, since I have a pick up truck I was automatically volunteered to be the moving company for this endevour. Now.. as you can probably already tell, my mother and I don’t have the best relationship. When my father passed away when I was 5 years old she cut and ran with a fat life insurance policy and left me to be raised by my brothers. If you ask her, everything is hunky dory because she is a complete ding bat. Truthfully, she is a horror of a human I can’t even begin to delve into right now.
So… despite this, the woman is still my mother. I tolerate her because of this though she has hurt me in ways over my life that I can’t even describe… she’s still my mother. My only one. *sigh* So I took off Friday – Sunday to move her and my stepfather to their new apartment. The drive was very short, so I stressed, I’d rather make more trips rather then overload the truck because it hadn’t been running that great the past few weeks. Well, that fell on deaf ears… they were really overloading the truck and I was getting more and more irritated. “just take it slow, it will be fine” I kept hearing. So I go out into the business building which has 2 large attached garages and several large areas where we used to rent to business’s WAY back in the day before the building started to fall apart. So much stuff was in there, 95% destroyed from black mold, but I had to go get the tools from the garage. Metal things like rakes, shovels, etc. I open the garage and what to I find… Among other things (insane amounts of black mold, and general just decomposition of the building that was just unreal since the last time I saw it), I found a dead baby cat that must have at some point been locked in her garage that just must have died from lack of food or water. It was just a skeleton and fur… it had to have been there for at least a year.. even more maybe. There was no smell, no flesh even. Just fur and bones! It was horrible. My stapfather was like “oh it’s a squirrel” It’s not a freaking squirrel, it had canines. I googled a photo of a cat’s skull on my cell phone right then and there and it was identical. Not to mention you could tell by the bone structure, legs, and feet. I was disgusted. I scraped him off the ground and buried him and my mother was muttering about how I was wasting time. She HAD TO HAVE WALKED BY IT FOR MONTHS! They had to have heard it crying to escape, but they just don’t care to get off their rear ends for two minutes to let the poor thing out. Then after it dies, don’t even have the decency to do anything about it. Just let it lay there and rot, much like the house itself. The skeleton was perfect… it just layed down.. and died. The thought of that little kitty suffering so needlessly has been haunting me ever since. Not to mention the act of scraping his fur and bones off the cement equally disturbed me, but I couldn’t just leave it there. At least SOMEONE should give the thing a proper burial and show it some kind of care even if it came way too late.
So my boyfriend and I buried it while the moving continued. After buring the cat and went on ahead with the moving in silence. So as were moving stuff I see in the trash all my baby pictures. Like PILES of them. Plus pictures of my grandmother, grandfather, and even my father. Now number one, she didn’t even think to ask if anyone like myself, my sister, or my brothers would want them, she just tossed them. I’m like “why are these in the trash?” as I pull out my baby pictures. She says, “Well, I have a bunch of pictures of Olive now so it’s not like I need any of those” …. (Olive being my 2 yr old neice) I was just stunned into silence. Finally I was like “Ummm… ooookaaaay…” Because you have pictures of your granddaughter you THROW AWAY pictures of your daugher? I don’t understand how that’s a valid argument. So I continue to pull more pictures out of the trash of my dad and my grandparents. (my mothers side too by the way, so HER parents) and I continue “Don’t you want to save these?!” and she just snaps “well I have no place for them” In the mean time my truck is filled with Mickey mouse snow globes and figurines and Disney cardboard cut outs I got for her while I used to work at a movie store years ago. I just blinked and disbelief and boxed them up and brought them home…. WTF is wrong with her? I can’t stop thinking about how heartless you have to be to say that with a straight face and not understand why I would be upset? This is how she is. Thinks of nothing but herself. Also, her dog suspiciously has dissappeared and from what I overheard from my stepfather in a conversation I am sure I was not supposed to hear, even though I had a home lined up for him, she brought him to the pound anyway. She didn’t even try to find him a home, just dumped him because it was no longer convenient to keep him… much like she did her children so I guess I shouldn’t be shocked. My sister and I couldn’t find him, so we are hoping he got adopted by someone.
So back to the story, with the truck loaded to the brim we leave to go to the new apartment. (Mind you , this a a few trips in that day, and also after a previous day of moving all day too and dealign with other remarks that made me question why I still help this woman do anything) I’m sitting at a set of lights with my brother in the passenger seat and then when the light turned green, the transmission up and just stopped working! I was slamming the gas and the truck just sat in the road revving and not moving. Like I was in neutral… but I wasn’t! People behind me start beeping cause I’m not moving. Finally, the truck made a huge BANG!!! and then snapped into gear, but it was NOT feeling right at all. When I would go into park or reverse or drive it was a loud BANG and the truck would shudder! So I get to the house, of course nobody cares except my brothers who were looking under the hood to try and see what the problem was. I was asked to reverse up the grass and onto a hill for ease of unloading the truck, which I didn’t want to, but I did anyway since my mother was more concerned getting her crap in the air conditioned house then my vehicle breaking down. BANG! SLAM!! *grind grind* No clue what all these noises are but it does NOT sound good! Truck unloaded, and with metal scraping and grinding under my truck I then went straight to a dealership and traded it before something went REALLY bad! So I traded it for a Kia. The good news… it’s lime green. ^_^ I am really sad about loosing the truck though. I loved that truck, it was depressing. *sigh*
After all that, then trading the car, Shaun was still with me and we decided it was too late to make dinner (plus neither of us were in the mood to cook) So we went to the Chinese Buffet. While driving in my new car… I owned for about all of 15 minutes I stopped at a red light and the person in front of me’s passenger door opened to a girl jumping out and becoming violetly ill all over the breakdown lane. The smell and … splash back… were… more then enough to kill my appetiete. Shaun, completely unphased, still wanted to eat. I tried to NOT think about dead cat, my mother and the pictures, a girl upchucking like 4 feet from my car all over the street minutes earlier… among all the other things that went wrong. I think I was a little shaken just seeing my childhood home in such deplorable condition. Shaun was trying to tell me to cheer up, I just got a new car, but it was all just A LOT for one day. Before going to grab food, I went to the restroom cause I was still dirty from buring the cat, moving and cleaning my truck out and putting all the stuff into the car, etc. So I walk in the womens room… and there is a little old lady washing her underware in the vessel bowl sink >_< Feeces... dripping from the edges of the sink and onto the floor. OMG... the poor lady, but it was disgusting... so yes.. that was the perfect ending to a perfect day. We stood there in dead silence locked in eye contact... most awkward moment of my life. I just turned and walked out. Shaun saw me and was like "that was fast" I was like... "yea... can we go home before something else tramautizes me today?" So that was my Saturday... Sunday well... I stayed hidden in my house watching the first season ninja turtles for about 9 hours. SO I guess I have more of a tramutizing Saturday then anything. Friday was just like Saturday minus all the horribleness... just a lot of moving while my mother sat on the couch watching us do all the work. Seriously... why me? I can't even make this crap up >_< It was indeed one of the most truly f***ed up days of my life!

You’re being taken for granted Big Time, and it seems like you’re not respected as a person with feelings either. It’s not going to stop until you stop it by saying that little ‘Magic Word’ – “No”
Good Luck and I’m glad you have your sister and Shaun to look after you – they’re your Real family at this point.

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comOh my gosh, what a horrible day, having to deal with your mother and everything else! I am sorry to hear about what you had to go through with your mother and her throwing away your pictures? That is so sad and I can’t believe someone would do that! Also the thought of the poor dead kitty just made me sick and angry because my mom and I work so hard to help homeless cats and feed all the strays in our area. Our poor kitty Saucey accidentally got locked in our landlords garage once where we used to live as he lived in the basement and would go out and work in the garage and my mom looked everywhere for her for two days and then heard her meowing in the garage and made the landlord open it up and waited hours for the scared cat to finally come out. We always keep an eye on her now but there isn’t a garage where we live now for her to hide in luckily. Ans the rest of it, well I guess when it rains, it pours, unfortunately. I couldn’t help but laugh about the old lady in the washroom but that must have been pretty gross. It’s just funny to read.
Well at least you know you are a good, decent person and at least you are doing what you can to be a good daughter even if you aren’t repaid for it. I believe in Karma so I think you will be rewarded for your good behaviour and obviously your mom is getting what’s coming to her since she had to move. The house I grew up in that we inherited from my grandma became pretty run down over the years and had to be demolished when I was a teenager. It was hard to see that and I still have dreams about being in that house but I am just thankful to have any roof over my head since we went through two foreclosures a few years ago. At least with renting now the houses have to be kept in better shape by the landlords. We have to move again at the end of Sept. though and I am not looking forward to it. I just hope we can find another decent place we can afford since the landlord here is raising the rent to more than we can afford, otherwise we would stay here.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
Oh wow…just…. Damn. I can relate to still helping someone even though they don’t deserve it (won’t go into that here). But I agree, next time you should try to make an excuse not to help her out. That’s just a load. Especially after what happened to that poor cat (which really makes me angry) and what happened to your truck (and family pictures!). Someone like that doesn’t deserve your consideration. Even if they are blood. My sympathies on such a cruddy weekend.

But if one of your animals made a mess like that, I bet you would cope with no problem. 🙂 Does that help?
Drag0n, I’m so sorry all that happened to you. Hopefully you used up all your supple of bad-day for the rest of the year.
The lady in the restaurant though, I’m sorry but when I read it all I could see was my mom there. She had her intestines resected and doesn’t get much warning sometimes. And making it her made it the kind of ‘horrifying at the time, but a family favorite in the future’ sort of story.I work in a call center. Three nights a week I reset the recordings for QC from home. I have to stop all the recordings on each representative individually and then restart them again. Normally when I stop the recordings the message behind each name changes from “recording scheduled” to “not recording”. Tonight however it isn’t. Why does this crap have to happen on a holiday weekend? And why does it have to happen when I won’t be in on Monday (I get the holiday, though some in the call center don’t). I don’t have a way to report it to IT from home and I don’t want to bug my boss with it (he’s off until Wednesday). Crap, crap, crap!

She just can’t hold anything for long and I know it happens… but just.. that was so… awkward. Plus after the day I had, >_< Oh man... On another note, now the moving was basically complete I was called yesterday to "Come take whatever I might want, from the leavings in the house" The things I found left behind >_< make me want to scream a little. Beautiful photos from my brother's wedding. 4 large framed prints (like 18x24) of me as a baby and also when I was younger, like 5 and maybe 7 or 8. My grandmother's guestbook and all the photo cards and paperwork from her funeral. Even her wedding dress from when she married my stepfather. Things that should have been keepsakes to a normal person. *shakes head* Also, while my sister and I were going through the garage one final time we glanced in the dumpster to find photo albums full of photos of me, my brothers, and my sister just tossed like trash and covered in old food from the refrigerator being cleaned out. We all simutaniously felt that pang of just "Wow... she really doesn't care about ANY of us" I think it was harder for my brother Tony as he is always they one who defends her when my sister and I have our "wth is wrong with our mother" tantrums. I am really debating on taking a photo of the pile of stuff and putting it on facebook as a "stuff that nobody cared cared enough to take with them" but I don't want to start trouble... I just get so... infuriated.
