Poor Poor Pitiful Me!

I should post a photo of what I look like today but I'm afraid that the sheer number of people being brought into the emergency room having ripped their eyes from the sockets will be traced back to me and those are medical bills I just can't cover!!

I am FINALLY getting over this stupid cold. I broke down and went into the Doctor yesterday (I hate doctors and double-double-hate-hate dentists!) Donovan got the same cold and bounced back in two days. I got sick last Saturday and am still miserable! There is no justice... Now that I'm beginning to feel better, the rain will start again.

I also can't find the food network on my tv...

I have a delivery of organic veggies wilting in front but can't be bothered to go get it...

I thought I lost my debit card and had the bank send me a new one then Donovan found it in the bed (and I still don't have the new one!!)...

The Girl Scouts are selling cookies... (This one should be GOOD, but I can eat a box of those somoas in like, 3 seconds! Plus they are so cute! It should be against the law to have so many cute kids trying to raise money outside the supermarket!)

Rogue (the 'killer' pit bull mix that I want to go through a service animal course with) will not stop trying to lick off my toes... It's like she knows I'm sick and she is trying to make me feel better. It would be fine if my toes weren't so ticklish!!

26000 teachers have gotten pink slips in Cali.... Where is their bailout?? I don't care how you feel about politics. These people are shaping the minds of the people who will be taking care of the world in the future. How is it possible that we think that they are expendable???? (alright, I know I cheated, this isn't really a 'pitiful me' thing but I am just so depressed about it)

Finally, I had a really crappy relapse prevention group Wednesday night. One guy showed up drunk, they breathalyzed him and sent him home. One girl showed up and made it most of the way through the meeting but once she spoke, it was obvious that she was messed up so they tested her (her thing is opiates) and kicked her out of the meeting. When I left she was still in with one of the therapists on the unit. Then two other people admitted that they had relapsed last week too. It was just depressing... PLUS I was sick so I got to sit there, being miserable and depressed and not get a lot out of the meeting. I didn't go to a meeting last night but I'm going to try and get to one tonight.

I'm probably some sort of typhoid Mary, bringing illness to an AA meeting near you soon!!

Alright, I feel better for having vented this. On a good note, I found out this afternoon you can self-publish through Amazon.com. There is no rejection slip or editors to worry about. You just go to the 'Book' section and then scroll down to the bottom of the page (after taking a peek at the Kindle 2 - drooool) and follow the 'Self-Publish With Us' link and yes you too could be a published author!!

I'm still resisting the whole e-book thing. Someone needs to make a waterproof one for me so that I can read in the tub - THEN we will talk.

Hugz all!
