Today's Frustrations


Let's see. . . . . .what's giving heartburn as of TODAY?

Somebody I care very deeply about had to make a business trip to South America, and although she promised to stay in touch via texts and/or this site's messaging, hasn't responded to numerous outreaches on my part, so, not wishing to seem desperate, I've more or less suspended trying to reach her in the hopes that I WILL soon hear from her. . . .

Today, at my job of driving , I had numerous close calls from other motorists and a few pedestrians blithely strolling across Main Street in Hyannis. Those close calls include one idiot in a brand new blue pickup truck who decided to back down a driveway into the street I was traveling at 40mps down when I was around fifty yards from them; I swerved to the left, narrowly missing incoming traffic, dodging the SOB Motherfucker by an estimated six inches or so.

I found out that one of my smaller aquariums had a massive die-off this afternoon, leaving just a juvenile blue lobster crayfish and one tiny least killifish as its sole residents.

In the main tank, there was an algae bloom recently which claimed 15 out of 15 fish. This has been corrected, fortunately, and I am not sure if or how I will restock this aquarium.

I haven't slept for 8 hours straight in god only knows how long, and the VA, in it's infinite wisdom has discontinued my sleeping pill prescription, but INCREASED my ED medication. Makes me wonder just where their priorities are. . . .lol.

My beloved wife put in another fourteen-hour day in her home office, so dinner this evening was leftover Chinese delivery food from last night. Good thing I'm not a picky eater!

It was STILL quite tasty, however!

The weeds and other noxious plants in what passes for my backyard have to be over feet high because our erstwhile landlord, while demanding prompt payment of our rent, tends badly neglect the outside of our duplex and our neighbor, being a lazy bitch, doesn't want help. Since my wife has horrendously bad knees and I have a bad back, we gave out landlord the lawnmower, with a promise that the yard would be kept up using this machine. That was ago. . . . . .

Cape Cod has a chronic affordable housing shortage, so we're NOT in a position bitch.

Oh, well, Bunny Rabbit and Tom the wild turkey have plenty of cover now, as do the other little critters inhabiting the local countryside.

Life goes on, STILL!

wow !! so sorry for this......it just keeps getting worse n worse. just Wow !! ( and Ugh )
I wonder which is worse....the ones that you find out after a while are scammers....or the ones that are real...u spend real time with....uve met and come to know...take chances...and poof!! they are gone.

That picture though, while enticing , just looks too good to be true. The setting et al = just too perfect.

Hope u have better days ahead...many people coming to the cape this time a year.....one never knows just whom might appear in your world~

Thank you very much for the emotional support! If you ever decide to visit The Cape, let me know. I will take some time off work to show you around, quite happily! Smiles.

Thank you. I go there quite often ..all my summers were spent on the vineyard...but most recently have spen time in osterville. In fact i have a credit becuz i didnt go last year. The ultimate goal would be to retire near the ocean....but also healthcare as we age is impt too. Not such good reviews on that there. So i dunno. Enjoy those days....
My fav store is lamberts....just love that place sandwhiches n fruit for the beach and wine for later. Its like one stop vacay shopping....lol
