If You Got The Money, Honey We Got Your Disease

Ever get the feeling that you are gonna get screwed? And not in an "oh baby" kind of way?

I am getting that vibe. Kidlet is supposed to have a flu shot today at her ped's office. But I never got a reminder call for the flu clinic. No one is answering at the office cause it is a Saturday and they are closed. Or open for the flu shot clinic but just not answering. And the website is dead.

Ok, it's a for sure, I am fuxored. Just got my online horoscope:

"Sparks may fly today in your interactions with others. Whether in close intimate relationships or casual discussions with friends, it can feel as if everyone is just trying to purposefully upset you. You can all too easily respond with an overblown display of anger. Don't waste energy arguing. The best thing you can do is to chill out and not take it all so seriously."

But why can't I get pissy? Not everyone can do "overblown displays of anger" with flair, but I can. 13 pieces of flair, no less!

Time After Time What's On Your Mind

Small child did a dumb thing last night. While visiting her grandfather and great grandmother (ex husband variety side of the family) she ate the food from the Crazy Romanian. That would be her grandfathers 4th (?) wife. Every time any of us ate her food, we'd get sick. She is responsible for the infamous "Fly in the Mushroom" incident that ruined mushrooms for the kidlet.

So, why oh why did she partake of the toxic chicken?!?!?

In part because what should have been a 1 hour drive across town in rush hour was in fact over a 2 hour drive, thanks to the flooding streets. They didn't eat before hand and she was hungry. Long story short, she is home from school today with the stomach issues. Which was nice only in that I didn't have to spend my lunch hour making the pick up/drop off trip. I still have to drop off my ballot on my way out of here. The county elections office is conveniently located across the street from my office. Handy! And we have vote by mail here. All we have to do is drive through the parking lot and hand them over to the volunteers.

The rain is slacking off a bit and it is getting colder. Signs that we are going to go back to our patented "drizzle." It does not really rain here in Oregon. You know, rains hard and then stops. Nope our rain is more like the leaky bladder of an incontinent senior. It piddles constantly.

My left arm is killing me. I got my flu shot in it this morning. I am so looking forward to a hot shower and a heating pad on that arm. I always have god awful reactions to flu shots. But the only time I got true influenza was the year I skipped the shot. So I suck it up and deal.

The ex (husband variety) goes to Spain tomorrow morning. Hopefully he will bring back something cool for the kidlet's birthday.

My online radio is finally working. It was having issues today. Just in time for some New Order. I was looking back on all the titles of my posts (most of which are song lyrics) and I have to say I have somewhat schizo taste in music. Well if the straightjacket fits, wear it :P
