Fuck!
Fucking hailstorm. We had a thunderboomer blow through Northern California last night. It thumped my garden pretty good.
I had to repot half of my chili can garden. My radishes and lettuce got the worst of it; beans, corn, and cucumbers were undamaged for the most part, just blown over with some bean stems bent over. Things could be worse; my little problems are, well, little. My beans are flowering.
For those out there with real problems, my condolences.

You might try answering yer phuckin' phone too! Smooch!
It might help if you called my landline. (smooooootch)
But don't do it right now, cuz it's charging. The damn fucking thing only let's me talk 15 minutes and it goes dead. Mozy just called and calmed me down.
I'm better now. I was just feeling pent-up frustration and anger.
I live with 2 fucking swine ghetto PIGS.
I'm off to The Bar now with my huge bottle of coconut rum.
Damn. I was doing so well there for awhile staying sober too.
But tonight I just want to get my drunk on.

Fuck. I feel the creeping fingers of apathy getting a hold on my soul. I need to start taking better care of myself.

Fuck. My Uncle Harold committed suicide last Tuesday and I didn't find out until Sunday. Apparently the chronic leg pain got to be too much, along with the death of Aunt Corky, and I guess he was having money problems.
Typical family communications as of late. That makes three deaths on that side of the family that no one bothered to mention until well after the fact.

Your dog has not left you AntiM. He/She is very happy and knows how hard it was for you. No more suffering. Yay! My candle will be lit for you and yours. woof.
I don't know about the butt sniffing thing. I will lay with my cat and say a silent prayer for you.
And a big Fuckin Aye for those of you that are wondering about going to the burn. I know you are going through some anguish on whether you can make it. Maybe you are worried about losing your job. You won't. Its a job. If you give the boss ample notice and you play nice with the other boys and girls, you got it covered. Maybe its money. Yeah, that sucks and I hope you win the lottery or something else magical happens. I know shit happens and sometimes things happen out of our control that almost makes it impossible to make the journey. Lets think good thoughts. Karma: Do good and good will happen. Do bad, and everyone will hate you.
Think about this; You could just go mid week or weekend. I still hope I go. I am going to remain positive on this. With all the fucking obstacles and bad luck I keep runnin into, I know in my heart that I need the burn. So do you. We need you at the burn. I need me at the burn.
So fuck them all. Let's go, let's create, let's laugh, let's LOVE!!
Peace!

Thanks, Lor. Fuck you very much, you sweet thing... and fuck you is the new I love you, m'kay?
I know we're headed for the burn, and the Utah burn is soon, soon, soon. I just haven't climbed out of my pity pit since my brother died. Oh, I'm alright,I'll be alright, the world just isn't as bright and shiny this year.

On the news today, they showed an interview of one of the survivors of the plane that ditched in the Hudson River.
He said he couldn't get his flotation device out from under his seat.
When the life raft deployed, they noticed that it was tethered to the plane, which seemed to be SINKING. So they looked around for a KNIFE to cut the tether, but NO everyone's pocket knife had been FUCKING taken from them by the government and locked away in checked in baggage. THANKS FOR SAVING OUR LIVES ASSHOLES! They faced a cold descent to the river bottom.
i guess he survived anyway.

Somehow last night I tore the surface of my right eye. Lucky it didn't go across the cornea. Have no idea how the fuck I did it - maybe rubbing it with the pillow in my sleep. After removing the loose surface skin and putting in medication the doc put a contact lens in as a 'bandage'. Two sets of eye drops for the next two weeks four times a day - one for pain and one for infection.
My normal vision is 20/20. Close the right eye and everything is 20/20. Closer the left eye and because the contact is a 'corrective' lens, things are blurry. Like a weird trip at night with the lights running together. Go back tomorrow to make sure things are healing OK. Sure fucking glad this happened at home instead of on the Playa with all the dust.

You know it's going to be a bad day when you jump out of bed and miss the floor.
(The fucking battery went dead on my notebook computer before I could post, and I only had a few more words to write!!!)
Fuck! You tore the surface of your EYE?!! I hope it heals well!
I'm not going to make it to the playa this year. Not only are Housing's Blackout dates a problem (they want us all available for Move In), us State of Wisconsin employees are getting, free of pay, 8 days off this year (not of our choosing) and next in an attempt to get the budget to balance.
Even if one of my transfers out of Housing come through, I doubt that the money will be there for me to go. Maybe I could go to the family reunion (on my dad's side) instead... (It's been my aunts and uncles on Mom's side who've been dying off lately. Her side of the family is, or was, more fun, but for some reason we don't see them as often.)
Oh, and never fucking forget to where a mask when (attempting) to weld! Leaving off the mask is a good way to spend the rest of the day sick. (Now I need to research what sort of a mask is needed. Just a dust mask or a more expensive one, like the "Avian Flu Proof" mask I wore while using the angle grinder...)
Sorry to hear about your dog, AntiM. I know I felt bad when my mom had my dog put to sleep while I was off at college way back last century. I wish you the best (although I think I will refrain from sniffing butts..., my reputation really doesn't need that added to it! )

Fuck. 
...and I mean Fuck in a good way tonight. I have been having a couple of really fantastic, super-cool, awesome, mellow, happy, productive, peaceful days yesterday and today. Things are cool at home again. *keeping fingers crossed* I learned a different way to relay Tough Love and it is actually working! I realized (or re-remembered) that I can make more headway with honey than I can with vinegar, anger, frustration and tears. I can make my points, peacefully, state my thoughts and feelings and desires/demands/needs quietly and calmly, be tall and stern, stand my ground, and have people actually hear me and understand where I am really coming from.
I'm the Grandma, NOT the mama. I have a life. I have a social life. I am NOT Mary-fucking-Poppins or the Merry Maid. I'm buying only what I like eat which is healthy stuff made from scratch and NOT out of a box. I'm not cooking toxic food with benzophrenaplatoid flavinoids in it for anyone. Do your own laundry and when you make a mess, please clean it up (or I'll end up throwing it in your room on the floor.
Everyone is doing their fair share again. Yay! Well, except for the asshole ex, but he's always been hopeless and I just have to keep trying not to poison him while reminding myself to go outside and talk to the sky and trees to calm myself - especially when I am having those evil thoughts.
