Journal queenofthe1ring's Journal: update 4
I'm in a rather bitchy mood right now. That's a forewarning.
Car problem not solved yet. Playing fun phone tag with various people and everyone tells me I need to call someone else. The adjustor is in theory looking at my paperwork now, and was supposed to call me back. Has not yet, so I will be calling again this afternoon, probably to be told I need to be more patient. It's been a month. My car is rusting in the snow. I'm annoyed.
In new apartment. Found out after we signed the lease that Towlie (the bad upstairs neighbor) got evicted for his felony charges. So in theory he has to be moved out in less than 2 weeks at this point. Glad we don't live there anymore though.
Christmas was ok. I just don't much get into it anymore. Especially since by the time Christmas was here, we had already had 2, and all the presents were distributed.
New year's was kind of made to suck by my mom who called on the eve to say "you're one surviving grandparent is in the hospital and 'it doesn't look good'. oh yeah, happy new year." so now I'm kind of more mad at my mom than I was before, and I cringe every time my phone rings thinking it's her and she's going to bug me about this some more.
Why does everyone have to die around the holidays?
And while I'm already upset about various other things, I find out today that this girl I used to be friends with until the whole bridal shower issues finally set her wedding date. (Don't think I mentioned her Stockholm syndrome fiance before, but anyways...) It annoys me that she chose May 16 for her wedding date. We chose May 18 because it had significance to us. She chose 16 because it's the first Sat after her graduation. I doubt she gave us a passing thought though. We probably won't be invited anyways, so it won't matter.
Yes I am petty.
So combined with all of my other worries and health problems, I'm pretty bummed out at this point. Dreading the 'what next' in some of these situations, because I know there just isn't a way for them to end well.
Sorry.
Didn't seem particularly bitchy to me... (Score:2)
Good luck with your car. It seems like everything is structured to make it difficult for people to get things done, so they end up just paying for it themselves. I hate dealing with the whole automobile/insurance complex.
I had a good Christmas. I visited my younger daughter in Boston. It was low-key, which is nice. I try to focus on giving, and less on all the trappings of the season. Doing it more than once is also weird. When I

Thank you for your comment. It made me think about some things. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your holidays.
I always end up getting caught up in the expectations of the season, and don't really enjoy anything. I get the feeling that moms still want there to be magic in the holiday, even after the magic is gone for their kids. Or maybe I'm just too cynical.
As for all the warnings, and apologies... well, I don't know if you remember the incident from a few years ago, but there was a person wh

Thanks for the good thoughts! I hope that things are going well for you. I've decided to hide away until things straighten out.
As an aside: not sure if you remember the incident, but thanks to someone that didn't like what I wrote, read anyways, and harassed and attempted to humiliate me, I still feel the need to apologize for being myself.
