Does this mean we have to visit Grouchland with that little red monster? How about we don't and say we didn't?

Yeah, you did miss it. A picture of Vanessa Williams as the Queen of Trash (with Elmo, of course).

This is my usual size of font. So there.

I pretend to be a nice person but really think I deserve to be allowed in here for times when that's just too hard to maintain.

Always have to reach for reading glasses........ugh!

I'm trying to ignore this cataract - not working!

You just gotta be grumpy enough...

Yesterday I got my first ever very own pet lawyer to sick on the insurance company. But even it won't quantify the value of a stay at home and garden, raise chickens, and be ground support for three working and schooling adults while babying my delicate constition through asthma, allergies to every thing, painful chronic conditions nag nag nag blah blah blah.

And the doc wants me to limit my computer time to rest my brain. Light reading only. Did he not hear the "still have blurred vision"? So I get until nine am today.

It's morning, so my natural grumpiness is at its highest level.

I gave to go to the DMV today. My 13 year old RAV4's transmission crapped out last week; the diagnosis included a bad computer controller AND catalytic converter, all quoted as around $4,500 to $4,800 to repair/replace.

Bought a used Nissan Quest for $2,700 instead (then sold the RAV for a pretty good price, recouping some of that money). The Quest seller runs an auto body and repair shop; he bought the RAV. (the repair quote didn't come from him - he just had the "best" vehicle I could find in my price range.)

The grumpy bit for today is that it's the fifth day of my Quest ownership, so the DMV trip HAS to be done today. Could not schedule one of the DMV "appointments" within the five day period so I am going in without one.

I dislike going into town for any reason, but a DMV time wasting session is even worse.
