Round and Round
Sometimes.......there are just things that frustrate the HELL out of me.
For instance - last year, when I had to move out of The Little Blue Cracker House, it was kinda sorta, well, unorganized. Oh, I had help. TNT and Cuz were here and without them, I don't know what I would have done.
But it was a rushed thing, and well....we are girls. We have our limitations.
So - I had this refrigerator. Only 6 months old. Too big for us to move. It's now in my friends house. THEY love it. But.....the fridge in the basement at Paradise doesn't work. Since it's a "2nd" kitchen, the landlords aren't responsible. I've asked them to remove it before I finish moving in, but still.....a kitchen without a working fridge? Yeah, I'll fix that later this year.
Then there was the washer and dryer. The January (4 months) before the move I purchased my very first, brand spankin' new matching washer/dryer set. Nothin' fancy, but MINE. No one else's stuff had ever been in those bad boys! And they matched. They were very purty.
BUT...we couldn't get them out of the basement. So.......Yeah, well, yesterday I had "The Replacements" delivered. They are "Gently Used". They don't match, but they will do what I need 'em to. Wash....and dry my clothes.
And despite being excited to once again have a semblance of control in my life - My Clothes, My W/D, My Schedule! - I couldn't help comparing my excitement when that other set had been delivered to the.... ho hum of this time.
Not only that - but DAMN, the wasted money......ohhhhhh sometimes I just get so pissed off thinking about that stuff.
But.....let's just look at that damned silver lining for a second. I was ABLE to get the replacements. I now can easily keep up with my laundry. AND instead of draggin' the over stuffed baskets down those damned stairs, I can pop them down the laundry shoot!
Easy Smeasy...
But still - sometimes I just feel like a damned gerbil on one of those wheelie thingies.......
