Have you ever needed a root canal? You know how the tooth affected aches and aches and aches??

Well, that is what my fucking KNEE is doing right now. i need better pain meds. Or an amputation. this is fucking ridiculous.

And of course, because I am in such pain and want to physically rip my leg from my body, the kids are helpfully being loud and lazy and obnoxious. I am maintaining my good nature with them, but it is in fact all a sham as I just want to kill everyone and then myself, because why should the world go on without me in it? LOL. Not really.

And in other happy news---my car didn't want to start very bad this morning. it did that rr--rr--rrrrrr thing instead of turning over right away. Butl it did start and i let it warm up for about 10-15 minutes. When i got to school, I turned over my spare set of keys to Susan as she had a doctor's appointment at the clinic. i had to turn off the car to get my school keys out of the ignition. When Susan tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. It just made a click-click-click noise. So, it is sitting next to the sidewalk at school--I had to wait until the kids' break time to call about it. I called the Saturn dealership as that's where Susan takes her car to be fixed. I had spoken to them before, and they had said they would work on any kind of car.

So, now i have to wait for about a half an hour, and Lucas M will give me a jump start (if it will jump start). Then either he or someone else will follow me to the car dealership and give me a ride back to school.

Mom says there is a massive snow storm headed our way today. The weather watch site says 1-2". What's up with that? i would not mind going home early today. Oh, God, I would LOVE to go home early. But a measley 1-2" ain't gonna do a thing to get me home early.

And without a car, I'm basically fucked anyhow.

Well, Susan said we could take the school van. Or, I bet Ray or Jesse would run us home. They both live in one of the next towns over from West Concord. I really wanted to stop at the theater in Kasson on my way home to buy a gift certificate to the movie theater there for a Christmas gift. And i would also like to stop at the dollar store to get another Christmas stocking for my one of my homeroom kids. I should have just bought an extra one to begin with, but I wasn't sure Rachael was coming back before Christmas vacation. I have missed her. She is really a sweet kid.

If all goes well tomorrow, my homeroom will being going out for lunch at Hu Hot, which is a stir-fry grill. It is very very delicious, and you can go back for as many refills as you want. It will be really good for the kids--especially the boys who are basically just bottomless pits when it comes to food.

I hope my car is fixed quickly. i hate being carless.

GRRRR. I just spent over $700 on that damned car. Maybe it is time for a new one.

All right, who in my life has cursed me?

Somebody must have because "bad luck" doesn't just go on and on like this.

It isn't HORRIBLE luck, but it is annoying bad luck.

For example, that expensive pedicure that I got yesterday?

When I left the restaurant, I discovered that the cute little design on my big toe was smudged completely...it looked like someone had puked out nail polish on my toenail. My sister and mom nagged me to go back and have them redo it--I didn't really want to as I just wanted to go home and die at that point.

But, I went back there--they redid the big toes for free--the polish doesn't exactly match the other toes, but it isn't bad either. I like the second color better than the original. Wish they had redone all the toes, but oh, well.

So, today, I cleaned out my refrigerator--figuring that I might as well get the garbage taken care of so all I have to do on Tuesday is haul it to the curb. I discovered a roast in there that I had sort of forgotten about. It needed to be cooked today or it would be past its expiration date. So, I got out my roaster, put the roast in it, peeled carrots and sliced onions. Then I grabbed my bowl of potatoes. They had gotten really withery, but they are still good under the peel...

Well, I picked one up and a swarm of those tiny flies flew up out of the bowl. Under the first three potatoes, I found a rotten potato that was crawling with little tiny worms....ewwwwww

So I dumped the whole bowl into the garbage bag.

I can deal with withered skins. I can cope with that. I cannot eat things that have been in contact with squirming masses of anorexic maggots.

UGH.

So, I roasted the beef with just onions and carrots. And ordered a Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza. Light sauce, extra pineapple.

Wonder what kind of dreams THAT will bring me?

Got the laundry almost done. Can't face another trip to the basement, but at least everything is washed. Tomorrow I'll throw that last load in the dryer.

In about 5 minutes, I'm going upstairs to fill my pill caddy and go to bed.

Unbelievable Pain....

And My Happy Weekend Continues to Continue
