For the second time in the span of one month we’ve had a day of rain. That’s funny, because I could have sworn that I lived in Wisconsin and this was winter time. This happened on Christmas day and again this past Saturday. It rained almost all day on Saturday and then turned over to that wet sloppy bullshit snow overnight and gave us a few inches of slop by Sunday morning. I was able to get the snow blower to cut through this so I could get out of my house. Of course, only the main roads were done, meaning I had to meander through this fucking maze of rutted road to get to the main roads. When did they plow my roads you ask? They plowed them sometime early this morning because apparently they wanted to wait until it was frozen solid. Why would anyone want to plow a road when it’s wet and sloppy and would come up easily, might as well wait until it freezes and you can ruin a blade or two? I’m all in favor of turning a four hour job into a twelve hour job.
Holy hell, I haven’t blogged since before Christmas. I guess I need to play some catch up now. Let’s rewind to Thanksgiving. Turkey, stuffing, blah blah blah… nothing really spectacular happened then, so let’s move on. For my first time ever I went out shopping on Black Friday. The fact that I’m not sitting in a holding cell still awaiting trial for beating the shit out of some random asshole that pissed me off on that day is a miracle in and of itself. I really can’t say I will ever go out and do that again. Not that I don’t enjoy waking up at 3am and going to a store (holy shit, that sounds like when I used to work retail), but really… I don’t like going to a store at 5pm. Add in no sleep and 500 additional people and you have the recipe for a disgruntled human.
I bought a Christmas tree and had that up. I actually ended up having Christmas dinner here at my new house this year. It wasn’t too bad except for the aforementioned shitty weather we had. It was a small party with only 8 of us here. The Sunday after Christmas I got up in the morning feeling ok and then when I sat on the couch I got a lovely surprising feeling of falling backwards. I also had a very plugged left side of my head, nasal congestion and all that good shit. On Wednesday I ended up going to the doctor at urgent care and was diagnosed with having BPPV. The V stands for vertigo in that awesome acronym. I know I didn’t ask for that for Christmas. It took a full week for the vertigo to go away and I was extremely pleased when it did. There’s only one reason you should be hanging onto your headboard, and feeling like you’re spinning isn’t the reason.
Now it’s the New Year and I am getting ready to do my taxes. I cannot wait to get my money now with my 8,000 credit for being a first time home buyer. I will be super rich then, until I realize that I have a mortgage and owe almost 10 times that. Ah, the joys of being a responsible adult… what a crock of shit.
