I've been waiting 2 weeks for Walgreen's to fill my prescription for Symbicort, but yes, they have Combivent, for my COPD. "We'll have it Monday, then next Monday we'll have it" and no Symbicort.

Funny isn't it? The times I've been in Nogales to buy back-up meds, no prescription needed, every pharmacy I've been to down there have Symbicort in stock.

Ask me why I chose to retire in Tucson, 65 miles to the Border?

WHY an apartment neighbor has to have a Subwoofer upon another’s ceiling?? Why does one need to amplify stereo or TV sounds from a distance of about 6 & 1/2” away from where they sit, causing rumbling, thundering, pounding noises?

Another thing, having an apartment manager not understanding what a subwoofer is, referring to a “little box” she saw that ”must not make much noise due to it’s size”. Her having been told that “audio noise should be heard from several feet outdoors for it to be a problem”, not understanding that it’s the POUNDING upon my ceiling or Low-frequency noise, not coming inside to hear it. (She is not very aware or knowledgeable and English is her 2nd language).

(Yes, I have wanted to move…if only there was appropriate availability). Sorry, just frustrated.

So I immediately stop and get out of my car to inspect it to make sure it wasn't egged. A nearby neighbor was coming down the street and stopped and I told her what happened. She has two daughters in the car that know us. The younger one said she saw the other neighborhood kid come by house just now. They mentioned April Fools Day. Apparently she put them behind my tires so they would break. So I told them to tell her to never do that again.

I couldn't do anything about the eggs due to running late to this appointment. So I had to get my car washed with less than 100 miles on it so any egg that sprayed up on my car got rinsed off. I then had to literally get on my hands and knees and scrub my driveway because by the time I got back home, it had caked on due to the sun.
Dear God…just to add to your everyday pleasures.

So the vacation was fine. The flight home was a total nightmare. We flew first class on United and we always watch the flight tracker. I am not a good flyer and this helps me along with several Percocet's and wine. So it says 30 mins to land and then all of a sudden it changes to 2 hrs and 30 mins to land. I'm like wtf?? I realize we aren't descending into Denver as usual. The pilot gets on and says there's weather so we're going to circle. We circle for almost 30 mins. Then he comes on the microphone and says this: "We can't land in Denver due to weather so we are diverting to Salt Lake City. Plus we are running out of fuel". I mean just totally W T F and why would you say that???? I go into a panic and start crying. So we divert 600 miles!!!! We get into SLC and the flight attendant says "Either we all stay on or we all get off". I'm like UMM NO. Get me off this thing and good luck with that. Can't get a rental car, can't get another flight. I'm hysterical in the airport. Cost us $1000 for everything to get home the next day. They sat on the runway for 2.5 hrs before taking off again.

Kitchen was getting redone while we were gone. Adding glass tile backsplash, travertine tile on floor and new appliances installed. Come home and it's a total mess. Grout all over the tiles (grey grout on merlot colored glass tiles) crooked tiles IN backsplash, chipped glass tiles, grout all over the countertops, floor uneven so when you walk on it you can FEEL the unevenness.

I'm going to have to pay to have it ALL REDONE and I'm extremely overwhelmed with this. I just don't even know what to do. I tried to do something nice while we were gone and it's just all wrong, wrong, wrong.
You are having way too much fun.
