Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

That’ll teach me to try to help with outdoor cleanup. Slid down an incline into a gully as I tried to move a large branck out of the backyard. Scratched & bruised my right side, and my ankle is now the size of a canteloupe.

There’s a reason I hate gardening.

So another friend just called you a JERK and my response was to wait on that initial reaction while I actually found out. if it might be me in the wrong. The vote is in --You are pretty much being a jerk at this point. A tired and over-worked jerk perhaps but one nevertheless. I really give too many people a free pass sometimes.

Beautiful day but just so sad…

Just learned that my best friend in high school died unexpectedly today. We drifted apart when we attended different colleges and then she moved far away, but reconnected on Facebook recently. Much too young. Life’s not fair.

Wow, it’s not fair that she looks so good only seven hours after giving birth to a big baby!

I will send you more possibilities when you are finished being annoyed with me.
Lead? No parking in the busiest area of the city? No place for the dog to sit outside?
With a newborn in the PNW rain?
I know you need to nest and doing this 3,000 miles away is a really difficult.
But still…

So, we took you to court today for eviction. You have not paid us since January , despite multiple promises to get " caught up " and you will soon be " on track " . The mediator took us aside to see if you were actaully going to pay us what you owe…she also got the same bs song and dance that you have been trying on us. You lost…evicition is underway and now you text me to tell my that you want to stay until the end of may and will pay us then ?
Unreal…

Penny wise, pound foolish, is that what they say? You want that piece of paper recorded, trust me. Saving a few bucks on this is stupid.

A no fun very bad day. Outdoor funeral in the pouring rain, Shivah (so sad), had to wipe my phone. But the problem persists, and found a mistake the accountant made on our taxes. Sigh.

I waited with baited breath all winter to post a dazzling photo of the 300- tulip jewel box I planted last fall. But, alas, the neighborhood deer ate Almost. Every. One. Maybe I can manage a nice shot of a lonely tulip for my fellow cc-ers?

The daffodils are lovely, though, and the roses are sprouting leaves. It’s impossible to stay unhappy when it’s spring…

Today had to drop a paper off at my daughters doctor to get it signed and of course daughter needs it ASAP. So I head out first time in 7 weeks since my foot surgery. Of all days it is pouring rain so here I go in a boot on my foot, my walker so I can balance and my umbrella. As soon as I get out of car and get the walker the umbrella goes flying. So there I am standing in pouring rain soaking wet!! Go into dr office drop off form and go home soaking wet. Awww what a productive day :))

Dear new neighbor:
I am glad you are renovating the house across the street, but that paint color is hideous. I like red. My front door is red. But why did you choose to paint every bit of trim on this beige brick home that gawd-awful glossy cherry red shade? I haven’t even met you and already I think you are tacky and tasteless.

Oh thank god it didn’t go farther than this…

In the other news, the interview today went really well!

Apple guy is supposed to call so I can tell him restoring the phone didn’t work. But I cant stay awake. Can someone please fix the phone and stop passing the buck?

Our bats are back!!! Woke up from the winter torpor. So happy to see these cute critters taking care of bugs.

My daughter’s oldest friend committed yesterday to my daughter’s original number one choice-- a school that she didn’t get into.

I’m thrilled with how excited she is for her friend… pretty much twitching with excitement for her.

Honey, you are one class act!!!

I’d love to have a button underneath the posts that says “Dislike.” :))

Just when i thought i was over all the venting about college decision announcements of parents, its sad that i just learned of my close friend’s daughter’s college decision from my daughter who follows my friend’s daughter on “instagram” and “snapchat”, where the initial announcement was made, and then i found out a few moments later through my friend’s “facebook” post. I miss the days of old when a telephone call was the main source of communication amongst friends, not social media. Even a “text” message on an iphone or a personal “email” from my friend to share the news would have been preferable and appreciated over my being just one of several hundred “friends” or “followers” to receive the news at the same time.

Are you 2 seriously still not talking to each other? You are in your 60s not high school. And you are the bosses! How do you think your employees feel? Like we don’t have enough stress. How would you react if 2 of us were acting so childishly? I can tell you how this employee feels- I’m p#$$ed off. And I’m pretty close to telling you to sort it out or I’m done.

Please stop contacting me. I told you 3 years ago that I no longer would answer your emails or calls.
Today I woke up to a text from you using a new phone number. You were telling me that today
is the 5th year anniversary of mother’s death. You included the other family member who I have
not had contact with in 10 years. She texted back with tears and a broken heart. It took all of my
willpower not to respond with a huge smiley face and that it was the best day of my life.
But I did not and will not. I just blocked both of you again.
Please leave me alone and get some boundaries.
