As you may have surmised from the title, I love
Crazy Aunt Purl. I first found CAP through
She Just Walks Around With It, whom I also love.
Anyhoo, after reading
CAP's post today, I had to say that I wholeheartedly agree. And, CAP, you are funny. I really did LOL, sitting at my desk reading your post.
Basically CAP said everyone is batshit crazy right now, and I am definitely one of those crazies. (Talk about crazy--the Reds just beat the Cubs 9-0.)
Things that are driving me crazy right now:
1. My family. And that's all I have to say about that. Right now, anyway.
2. Another shitty hair cut. I haven't been happy with a haircut since I was visiting San Francisco in May, 2006. Before that, I can't even remember.
3. I need tenants. I have three rental units. One has been empty since September. One may be empty mid-June; we're still waiting on the tenant to decide what she is going to do. And, last night, I learned that my third unit will be empty the end of this month.
4. Gas prices. I know that we all pay for higher gas prices by paying higher prices for everything else we buy. However, I remember the many, many years when I did not have a car and never paid for gas from the pump. Lord, how I miss those days. Now, living in lovely Hamilton, Ohio which has ZERO public transportation, I have to pay A LOT of money for gas. And I DO take public transportation to commute to and from work. I just have to drive 40 minutes round trip to get to it.
5. My foot hurts. The ball of my right foot has been hurting for a while now and I can't jog. It really sucks. (Note to John and David: I hope you enjoyed looking at my legs in heels for seven years, because now I'm crippled.)
6. I need new clothes. The clothes I'm wearing are basically rags. Everyday I go to my closet and weep. Money for clothes? See Crazy Points #2 and #3.
7. Lying politicians and our government in general. I can't read or think too much about this so I really don't know what I'm talking about. I get all my political news from
Rolling Stone and if any of it is to be believed at all, we're all getting fucked--and hard.
8. People who don't take care of their children and/or pets. You're disgusting and should be in jail.
9. The unneutered male cat that sprays on both my front and back porches. See Crazy Point #8.
10.
My house.
Blessings:
Allen; Mary Ann; Ginger; friends; house; job; car to put gas in; not living in Myanmar; being able to bitch about lying politicians, even when I don't know what I'm talking about and not being thrown in jail or shot; having shoes, even though I can't walk.
