What pissed you off today?

[cfuhrer]

maybe that was his goal...but he's mostly just destructive. don't get me wrong, i love the fuzzball! but he chooses to chew pretty much everything he's point blank not allowed to chew. I go and get him substitutes for these things (he has his own blanket, his own soft wood chews, etc...etc...) aaaaand he still prefers what he's not supposed to chew.

And I didn't know doona either until I started dating an australian XD

I know your frustration.
My hunny had a dog when we met, when we moved in together I don't know how the dog new, but Lord did he know just exactly what to destroy to piss me off. I knew he knew what stuff was mine (by scent) but how he knew what of mine I most didn't want chewed on I will never figure out.
He is a good dog though, and we have since come to a mutual truce.

I work in apartment management- I will talk to your neighbors. Send out the grounds crew to kill the crickets. Send out maintenance to fix the faucet and shower head and get new blinds put in for the window. Hugs!

Thanks! It is usually a very nice apartment complex, but the past month or so, things just seem to be falling apart and driving me crazy!

In February 2011 I had a massive breakdown due to trying to exorcise childhood demons in order to get to the root of my lifelong depression.

In March my estranged husband told me he needed an emergency divorce as he had already booked his wedding for May, so March and April were spent sitting up all through the night after work trying to get the papers sorted.

From early May to early August I only had one day off work due to two people quitting at my office and me getting dumped with their work. I also worked a lot of overnighters.

In early August I went to my boyfriend's house to sleep through my first weekend off work in three months. That weekend I got a call to say my mum had been rushed into hospital.

I went to sit with her and stayed there until she died five days later.

Meantime my brother sat in the relatives' room at the intensive care unit on the phone to her lawyer BEFORE SHE WAS DEAD pushing to know what the Will said and how much money he was going to get and asking for an advance on it.

Since she died we have discovered that my bro and I are the only two executors and the only two beneficiaries and he is making my life as executor hell by taking advantage of the fact that he knows mum's bank card PIN and online investment passwords, wants quick money and believes he can help himself, and also believes he is entitled to squat in her house illegally and rent-free while the estate pays the bills, to prevent the executors from selling it so that the estate can be wound up.

I was on my knees 6 months ago and things have just gone downhill from there in terms of exhaustion, practical stress, emotional stress, workload..... I haven't even had time to start coming to terms emotionally with my mum's death as I've been so busy dealing with work and my brother.

And yesterday, when I started crying about the stress I was under and saying how much I needed some time for me and some rest and some mental peace, my boyfriend said to me "you create your own hell" and then fucked off on holiday for ten days.

Whoops.... did that turn into a bit of a rant?

Cattypuss, I am sorry you are facing so many challenges. I wish I had words that would help, but all I can offer is (((HUGS)))

I pissed myself off today for forgetting something. Maybe a tattoo on my hands and forehead might remind me?

Oh kitty

*sends big hugs and loves*

So, I sort of... broke down and wept while talking to my brother and sisters today. The conversation veered in an awkward direction, I suppose I'm still not all there in the head, and I said some things I probably shouldn't have. Nothing bad or offensive, but some very vulnerable stuff that I hadn't intended to let anyone in on. It was a moment of weakness I wish I hadn't had.

That sucks.

It's hard when we open up more than we intend. Maybe some good will come out of it, a better understanding of who you are?

What scared me more than pissed me off today.

Went to go to work this morning at 5:15, made a left turn and my car went "clunk". Never did that before. Made another left, clunk again. Made a third left turn and it kept turning, complete doughnut, with a truck coming towards me.

Seems my tie rod broke, going to cost me two days work as well as the repair.

You are lucky.
I had a tie rod end break and it pulled me into oncoming traffic at 60 miles an hour.
My self and the other driver spent a week in the hospital. If either of us had been with passengers things could have ended much worse.

Same here.

I will say this though:
If you know the pins and passwords, change them.
If you can get some time when he is away from the house, change the locks

And if it were me. I would hire, or at least go talk to, an attorney. Not for you necessarily, but for the estate. And also to a certain degree because right now you are stressed and exhausted and you need someone who will look out for you, even if you are paying them to do so.

Take care hun and know that things can only get better from here on.

Why does the cat always puke on carpet??

The carpets cover maybe 15% of the floor space in our apartment. Still, the cat always, always pukes on carpet!

No SRP post waiting for me this morning.... I wish he'd write more often.

 

[chelleb]

I still end up caring and wondering even when I tell myself I'm not going to......ugh!

 

[HottieMama]

Everything... I'm in a shitty mood and it is spiraling downward...

Going to bed at 2 and getting up at 6:30.

Nothing wrong with a rant here and there, so rant away if it helps! Sheesh, you have a lot that you are dealing with! I am so sorry it is weighing so heavy on you. It may not feel like it yet, but you WILL get through it all. Hang in there! BIG HUG!

Lunch was so bland I couldn't eat it. I would almost rather eat BAD food than BLAND food. And now I'm hungry

Ditto cf's advice on PINs and passwords, and triple-ditto on the attorney. In fact, it is probable that the attorney would be paid out of the estate if, as executor, you hire him/her to *protect the estate.* Do that sooner rather than later!

ETA: Find an attorney who specializes in *probate* law.

I am sacrificing a virgin squirrel for cattypuss and wenchie, which will cure all. And probably not hurt others on this thread, either.

Some one telling me how wrong I am for not thinking the way they do!

Internet connections

did you have one of those enormously frustrating moments when your internet cuts out at THE worst possible moment? I hate it when that happens. It always happens during skype calls and ALWAYS with the most wretched timing -.-
