You know. Those non-life-threatening obnoxious things that just make you grumble.

I know you have them. Care to vent with me?



My intermittent companion is an aching right wrist from playing clarinet for years and years without a neck strap. I have a hard ace brace that I'll wear to bed when it flares up, and Poshkitty is terrified of it.
And it's really obnoxious when I have to do repetitive motions like lots of cleaning or typing.


More recently, and comically: I totally socked myself in the nose. Kind of out of it a week ago, and swiped my nose really hard with the car door. WOW. I NEVER want to be punched in the nose. I still can't blow it without wincing. Handy, since allergy season is in full swing.




Anybody else? Let's hear those gripes and grumbles.

The political campaigns that seem to be calling me 4-5 times a day. I'm ready to tell whoever calls that I'm going to vote for the candidate who calls me the least!

Lol, that's happening here to.
One of our news channels has started a thing where for 30seconds they show a video of some peaceful place in the mountains, and call it "break from political ads".

I'm sorry to hear about your ailing ears, I have a friend with cochlear implants (he actually works for the company), so I know a little of what that can be like.
And I hope you feel better!
Have some spicy chicken noodle soup. That always clears me up.
