Tiny Complaints

My kitchen sink had to be snaked and the pipes blown out today. Old pipes full of crud, yuck!

I was going to make a booze run on my break but ended up carless (sick kiddo, Mr. Meer went home early) and now I don’t feel like leaving the house. Hmph.

I got logged out of everything at work and couldn’t remember my OMD password, so I couldn’t look at the forum all day.

Telling my lungs to function right does not in fact make them function right. This is clearly not acceptable.

Got to rehearsal half an hour ago, filled the coffee maker and pressed Brew. Went about my prep. Popped in to fill my mug. The coffee maker was unplugged :sob:

I went to the grocery store, stopped at the pharmacy to request a prescription refill, did my shopping, and… went home. I completely forgot to pick up my prescription.

I really wish I had a local friend.

I wish that for you too.

The airbnb is having an electrical emergency and new guests are arriving soon. This was supposed to be a chill day.

My tiny complaint is that I’m awake before 5am every single day right now.

I love my kid, but would probably trade him for a decent sleep right about now.

Kid-2’s dad and his husband were supposed to be visiting Kid-2 and Daughter-in-law next month, a month after my visit. Kid-2’s dad just told me that the Italian government has just quarantined ALL of Northern Italy, and he and husband are in the process of cancelling all of their reservations for the visit.

I feel so bad for Kid-2. He’s stuck in the middle of a contagion zone with a pregnant asthmatic wife, literally not allowed to go anywhere besides home and work, and everything he’s been looking forward to has been cancelled, with no end in sight.

This all sounds awful, I’m so sorry.

Paywalled articles are just irritating the fuck out of me and I feel like a terrible person for thinking that because of COURSE newspapers deserve to make money.
Yet I can’t bring myself to cough up for online subscriptions to the papers I like to read.
I suspect this is cheapness rather than frugality on my part but I just can’t seem to justify it.

My furnace decided today is a good day to act up. At least it’s 8 degrees Celsius outside. Repair man will be on route shortly.

I didn’t have sunscreen or a hat and the walk to the park was longer than I expected, so my face is sunburnt.

All of my parts hurt. It feels like I was assembled wrong so some joints are too tight and some are too loose and my skin doesn’t fit right. My whole body is stupid.

My 2 month old Neato robot stopped cleaning the room and only did a 6 foot square. I was starting to get really annoyed (no longer under 30 day return policy!) but then I looked online and wiped down the front and blew on the sensor area, and it appears to have been fixed. So it’s a Tiny Complaint followed by a Tiny Victory.

Another complaint: I have to do my dad therapy homework today. I’ve been dreading it.
