    Rant- Unlike Coquette I have had shit luck with my job search. Really lets you know your place when a decent company has you in, says they have 3-5 positions open for the job you're applying for, and get back to you within the next day to say they've gone with someone else. Just when I felt like I had some good momentum going too.

    Rant: Pretty much this.

    Rant: Two people in my department quit this week, and it really sucks because they were some of the few people I can be myself around here. I don't think my boss has any clue I'm trying to follow them too. I've got my review with her coming up later this month and don't feel like it'll do me any good to be honest about my thoughts on the situation here.

    Rave:
    At least I know other people have my back and those two people leaving are very willing to act as references for me.

    Rant: The mother in law managed to short our house electrics by running 3 adapters through each other to powr a glue gun.

    Somehow it's my fault for not being happy about it.

    Rant

    There's a 90% chance I'll have to put down my cat tomorrow. He has a swollen jaw and the vet put him on antibiotics on Tuesday, hoping it was an infection. He warned me that if i didn't start seeing signs of improvement in a couple days, it's probably a tumor, and they move fast if that's the case.

    Well, since Tuesday his mouth started bleeding badly. To the point where I woke up this morning and found a half dollar sized pool of blood on my couch. There are blood drool strains all over our bed.

    I don't want him to suffer and for things to get so bad he can't eat, so depending on what the vet sees tomorrow, I may make the call to end it before it gets worse.

    11.5 years is a good run, but it's gonna suck to say goodbye.

    Rave: It's goo to be home even if it is only for two weeks. I've spent less than six months in my house in the last year through work and holiday.

    Rant: Broke another phone, I'm no longer allowed nice things.

    Rave: Luckily I have an app that lets me use the computer as a screen so everything is recoverable.

    Rave. My uncle was raising hell at dinner the other day about how much his teenaged daughter spends on makeup. "She spent a shit load on a bunch of Juicy Cooter perfume."
    "I beg your pardon?"
    "Juicy Cooter perfume. Stinks like flowers."
    "Do you mean Juicy Couture?"
    "Whatever."

    Rant: Woke up and had a full blown migraine. I had the aura, disorientation, numbness, tension headache great way to start the way. And I think I know what it happened. My migraines happy when my stress level gets high. Well last night my twin and I discussed how he'll have to be on chemo for a while and sometimes I don't feel stressed but my body responds by having a migraine instead.

    Fortunately my friend and I are becoming closer friends and I can tell she is genuinely concerned about how I'm doing today so thats flattering and cool.

    Rant: in the process of selling the house, the buyers have been a huge bag of dicks. We were supposed to close today and this past week has been completely shitty with moving to a new place (jesus christ so much shit that I own and now have to cram into an apartment), cleaning the house, and dealing with their fucking drama. We didn't close because reasons too stupid to go into, and it's been rescheduled for Monday.

    Rave: the realtor is very confident that everything will go smoothly and we will actually close. We'll see. I had a bottle of prosecco I was planning to pop open tonight. I didn't pop it open tonight, but I don't want to wait till after Monday because then it will be the work week. So I decided to do it tomorrow night and drink the entire bottle over the course of the weekend. I plan to use it as a mixer for harder stuff, which I know from experience will get me plenty shitfaced.

    Rant: Today can eat a bag of dicks. It started out with getting news of a friend passing and went downhill from there. I'm ready to drink my weight in vodka.

    Rant- Spent half the day cooking boudin. Had it all stuffed into casing and everything. I was poaching them and forgot to make sure it didn't come to a boil. All but maybe 3 links, out of 5 lbs, burst and are ruined. DOH!

    RANT/RAVE: Sold my Jeep today. I put a lot of time and effort into that thing, had a ton of fun with it, and I'm sorry to see it go. The good part is that it went at my full asking price (the guy recognized a fair price when he saw it), and I no longer have the worry of what to do with it should it not have sold before I'm ready to hit the road.

    Rant: On Saturday, I put together a little table and chair set for Baby James. Because I'm also a toddler, I decided to sit on one of the tiny chairs. I'll pause here and let you visualize a 6 foot 250 pound Asian man with a a beard sitting on a chair meant for someone two feet tall. Naturally, I pitched backward and when I put my hand down to catch myself, I heard two loud pops in my shoulder. I went to an urgent care clinic where I was told that I had separated my shoulder and would need to wear a sling for 2-4 weeks.

    I really need to stop being a manchild.

    RANT: No electricity for like 12 hours today. This is why you need to have businesses supplying electricity and NOT Governments - businesses have the motivation of fixing you as fast as they can so they can keep your business, while a Government supplier has no obligation to you AT ALL. They KNOW that they are the only supplier and you have no choice but to deal with them and their fuck-ups because all the trained staff leave as soon as they can.

    I really hope our Christmas turkey did not spoil. Oh, did I mention it is the middle of fucking SUMMER here and easily in the 30 degrees Celsius (90+ degrees Fahrenheit) today? My area was the only one that was out.

    Dumb cunts.

    RANT:Looks like I won't get back home in time for Christmas. It's taking me much longer to pack up and get out than I originally thought. I somehow pulled my calf muscle so couldn't really walk for a couple of days, and I severely underestimated the time and effort to pack up a shop.

    RAVE: I'm on my own timeline, so it's not really that big of a deal, other than it would have been nice to be home for Christmas with the family.

    RAVE: Huge dumps of snow today and for the next few days... the Trans-Canada has a bunch of closures, so even if I did get out, I'd be stuck in traffic anyway. Funny how things work out sometimes.

    Rave: finally closed on the damn house. Halfway done with my business trip. Four day weekend ahead. Looking forward to one new episode of Doctor Who, and three episodes of Sherlock that are going to murder me. Can people killed by angst? At least it will be well-written angst.
