Sweating Icicles

Again, Kansas has gone from one extreme to the other… from fucking hot to fucking cold. No happy medium, fuck Kansas! Yesterday it was 85°F (29.4°C), the day before that it was 95°F (35°C), and last night it went down to at least 55°F (12.8°C). I left the windows open last night, it be cold in here! Uncle Arthur is visiting (you may know him as arthritis)… at least I don’t have Aunt Flo (figure her out for yourself) to deal with, she’s a bitch!

Probably not going back to church, I don’t care too much for “Boring Bob’s” Boring Speech, it’s not a sermon. He sounds like Al Gore and Reverend Lovejoy from the Simpson’s, but not as smart and not as funny respectively. He just stands up there and drones on for 30 minutes. I don’t feel Jesufied and I don’t feel inspired to do anything but sleep. The rest of the church likes him, so he’s the one… and I’m out. Hope they can run the sound system…

I have to go out to put dad’s truck back together again. Was dropping the fuel tank yesterday to pull the fuel pump, the one we put in was DOA. Dad ran off to do something for mom in the middle of dropping the tank, fuel goes everywhere and I pulled my shoulder out. Neck and shoulder hurt like hell… it’s going to be a wonderful day!

Damnit Shit!

I may have overdrafted my account… well, I came damn close anyway. Something isn’t getting paid in full so that I don’t have overdraft charges. Second month in a row. Remember the ignorant spending spree? Yeah, that’ll be with me for a while, a long while. Speaking of can’t afford, my insurance doesn’t cover yet another medication (surprise surprise)… it’s only $128 a month for that one, it’s a cheap one! My happiness and health isn’t worth $1,500 a year though, not to me. If I paid for all the medications that I should be on and aren’t, I’d spend $1,500 a month. One old bird I know has cancer, her insurance (same as mine) won’t cover the chemotherapy, $15k a month! She can’t afford that, so she’s gonna die…

Anywho… nothing new in life, no surprise there either. Summer’s almost over, temperatures are coming down, prices are going up, can’t get decent night’s sleep, and bullshit continues in its normal fashion. Will’s phone got shut off for 3 days, I considered it a vacation. Since he got it turned back on, he’s been calling non-stop again. Twat’s twat… and that’s that.

Vacation Over

The ‘rents are home. They drove non-stop from wherever the hell they were in the mountains of Colorado. I don’t know why they do shit like that. Well, it’s not “they”, it’s Dad. They’re not young and dumb anymore, driving 12 hours straight isn’t something their old asses should be doing anymore. Shouldn’t have done it back then! Anywho, they got home about 3 in the morning. Idiots!

I have to go out one more time, take them drugs and bring back Syd. I stayed in bed until 9:30, no matter how I try, I can’t sleep like everyone else I know. I was eaten alive by skeeters from my trip with Sarah and Charles a few nights ago, then eaten some more when I went to the ‘rents last night… I think those were fleas. Fleas that I brought home with me, damn it. So now my house smells like bug poison again…

I don’t know when I’m leaving, only know I don’t want to. Slappy’s mowing his lawn, I can see water on the grass from the downpour yesterday. I’m not going to mow wet grass, but this is the guy that I’ve seen mowing while it’s actually raining. He’s mow-happy! If it grows a nanometer, he’s out there mowing it down! Lawn looks decent though…

I’ve shut down the server to save electricity. I think it maybe uses 30¢ a day, but it adds up to about $10 a month. I should shut down this computer at night, that saves a lot more. This computer is hungry for power. Most of my electric bill consists of using this computer. I still don’t live within my means. Not to mention the spending spree I stupidly did over the last two months. My TV in here has gone purple. No, I only bought crap that really made no difference in my life.

I need to go to city to get groceries, most of the 4 lane highway is open now and 70 mph (112.7 km/h), finally. When I first moved here it was 55 mph (88.5 km/h) and 2 lane for 40 miles (64.4 km), then it went to 65 mph (104.6 km/h). The plans for a 4 lane had been running for 12 years, then all of a sudden they started doing it. What’s funny is the year before they started building the 4 lane and tearing up the 2 lane, they resurfaced the 2 lane! Talk about a waste of money…

Hot, Fat, Tired…

Last night I drove all the way home when I found out that I had left house keys in MY car AT the ‘rents house… I seriously thought about kicking in a door that I’ve kicked in before… but I’ve got shit piled up behind it so it’s nearly impossible to get in. I decided to drive back out to the farm and get my keys… 40 minutes I’ll never get back… and I really needed to relieve myself, only making things worse.

This morning I didn’t want to get up, but I managed to drag my fat ass out of bed. TV in this room didn’t work this morning, it would come on but nothing else. The computer monitor did the same thing an hour later. The trip to the ‘rents was uneventful, thank God. So was the trip to church, to thank God. Things went smoothly there for once, people asked about mom. The trip home was again, uneventful. I did forget my wallet though.

It’s HOT outside… man it’s hot! Again it’s nearly 100°F (37.8°C) and the humidity is near 90%, so it’s just miserable out there! In about 3 hours I’m going back out to the ‘rents to let Mopey out for a bit. He’ll go out, wander around, maybe piss on something and then lie down in the sun… like a moron. I’ll drag him back in and go home for another 5 or so hours. Man, I’m tired!

I need to go back up to city again… nearly out of food. I can’t get much, but I don’t need much. Wait, yeah I do, I’m nearly out of food. I still can’t get much due to my stupidity last month, and the month before. I only authorized my dumb ass to spend $1,000 ($1k that I didn’t have) on the dentist… not the other $1k that I got while getting the loan. That money, I should have sent back. Meh, $1k is only 3½ months worth of food. I can eat lightly, haven’t lost a single ounce! Must be stress fat!

Eventually some of my readers from the past will realize I’m posting publicly again… if you don’t like my writing, my life, my style of writing, the fact that I bitch about shit, or whatever else you can think of, you don’t have to read it. I’m not forcing anyone to read this crap. However, if you have advice worth giving, feel free to comment.

Hot August Night

Nothing to do with ancient music, it’s just hot, hot, hot! It’s finally down to 95°F (35°C). It’s got to drop another 10 degrees before I can throw the dog out and go home. Mum called, said the horse wants her dead and is stopping at nothing to try. It’s the same horse that damn near killed me… so, they’re coming home Tuesday, they say. They’re going to give the damn horse a hysterectomy, they think that will fix her attitude. meh.

Have to do a third trip here in a bit. I’m hoping it drops enough to put Mopey back out. So far it’s not looking like it’s going to happen. It’s down to 93°F (33.9°C) now. It’s taking me a while to type this up. Fat man exhausted! Tomorrow morning is going to suck. Anywho, just bitching…

Cash For Clunkers

The “Cash For Clunkers” program has some requirements that piss me off. I’ve seen some very nice cars that are marked CFC (not chlorofluorocarbons), cars that are marked for death. Cars that have many good miles left on them. Cars and trucks that aren’t clunkers. Cars that could be donated to poor mooks that don’t have a car. Instead, they dump sodium silicate (liquid glass) into the engine to seize it and then it’s off to the grinder to be shredded. What a waste! That just pisses me off.

Tooth & Pain

Got tooth installed today, it’s a little sore, okay very sore. Then fixed a cavity above that tooth. That’s where the pain is. I think I bit my cheek somehow while it was numb. Ouch! Anywho, there’s my tooth below… never mind the slobber. Mom called while I was in the chair getting my face drilled in, of course.

Vacationing ‘Rents – Day 7

They called yesterday… not my home, not my cell, but their house. Was I there? Nope… missed them by 30 minutes. They’re staying another 10 days or so. They may actually make it over 2 weeks. Mopey and the cats are still alive. The house smells like a cat lady lives there though… whew! It smelled like that already, just worse now. I had to drag Mopey into the house yesterday, it was just too hot for the stupid bastard to lay out there in the sun. What a moron.

Today I’ve got to go to the dentist and get my temporary crown replaced with a real one. Supposedly my new crown has my computer logo on it, heh nice. I got the thing in the mail that I’ve been waiting for, finally. Had to wait in line at the DMV in the city for at least an hour. They can’t do things like that here, only basic driver’s licenses. They made me change my address on my license too, and kept my old one! It was my only picture ID, now I have a crappy print out instead. You would think with current technology, I wouldn’t have to wait two weeks to get my license.

I hope it’s not too hot today. I don’t want to have to make multiple trips to the ‘rents house today with the dentist thing. The numby stuff always gives me a brain ache, not to mention the horrible tooth pain when the numby stuff wears off. To top it off, I’ve been up most of the night, so I’m going to be tired. Sun’s coming up, I can see stuff on the cameras. Just light enough to see stuff and enjoy the low ISO grainy stuff.

My spending spree ended up poorly. I shouldn’t have done it, but I did. As I stated, maybe, I borrowed extra money when I transferred my debt from one card to another. I borrowed more than I needed because I miscalculated what I needed to pay the dentist. Instead of repaying the extra with the extra, I blew through it like a… never mind, I spent too much. Needless to say, I bought shit I didn’t need with money I didn’t have. While I did get great prices on the shit, it’s still shit I didn’t need to begin with… and that’s why I’m Shtoopid.
