Last night my boyfriend and I went out for a friends birthday. One of his buddies ended up in emergency so we didn't get home until about 5:00 AM, which is fine because at least we knew our friend was taken care of. 

Our kid spent the night with my parents so we could get some sleep when we came home so all was fine.

Woke up to a call just before 10:00 that my kid was in emergency, her elbow popped out of joint while she was playing! We can deal with that though,the doctor placed it back and she was running around like nothing happened. Ok!

Few hours later, dropped my phone. Shattered the screen. -.- 
Still functional though! So I could deal with it, right? Ok!

4 hours later, get a call from the boyfriend who just left home to drive to work. He got hit by some idiot and has to get the vehicle towed. Well, I can deal with that too. We have two cars.  OK!

But wait.... he forgot his wallet at home! So I just need to pack up the kid and drive into town quickly to bring him his wallet right? WRONG! He decided to take the vehicle that had the car seat in it today, so here's the situation now; I cannot leave the child at home and I do not have an extra car seat to be able to go anywhere.
Well, I know we've got great neighbors so I'll just give them a call and get some help. OK!

-takes phone out of pocket, swipes code to unlock screen-

-nothing happens-

*swipe.....swipe.....* nothing....

*swipe.....*

#@!*???     *SWIPE SWIPE SWIPE*!!!

-.- my touchscreen just quit registering.
Therefore my phone is rendered completely useless except to make a wonderful skipping rock... a very expensive skipping rock.
O...K? no! O Fuck.

BUT! I can still deal with this though! I pick up my kid, walk to the neighbors', who is completely happy to drive my boyfriend's wallet to him since I'm stranded with no car seat to take the kid anywhere and no babysitter since one of them can't drive to my house and the others are on vacation.

So my neighbor leaves, with my boyfriends wallet in hand. I still need to find the insurance card so he can get a tow though. So I'm tearing my house apart from every nook and cranny and finally find the card! Now I just need to phone him to tell him the number! Oh wait! That's right! My phone is out of commission -.-

At this point, I'm obviously overflowing with joy and a few choice words to accompany such an abundance of happiness. I honestly had to resort to getting on my computer, flagging down the first person online from my facebook and getting them to call my bf to give him the insurance number. Guess what. I found the wrong card. The number I gave him is out of date. HA!
-lays down forehead on the desk- 

Karma, I'm not sure what I did to someone along the line but after today, let's call it even ok? Truce? 

-hears a funny noise around the corner, picks up kid to go check it out-

One of my dogs is having a seizure....
Had to take a deep breath and calm myself down so that I could calm him down and keep him lucid.
He's fine now but still.... this day... what rotten luck.

Then again, if it wasn't for bad luck there'd be no luck at all right?

Sincerely,

I just took a browse through my stuff. I have no consistency haha... I switch back and forth between either: trying new stuff or doing what I'm used to.... Or I go back and forth between actually completing something to my liking or just getting lazy and finishing it quickly- and I'm also guilty of changing styles simply to suit the mood I'm in. 

I have no consistency -.- I should work on that

Going to see it tonight with my man Here's hoping it's as awesome as my expectations for it!!!

At this time, I'm glad I can swim!

So the last time I posted, I was dealing with the storm of the year up here!
NOW, there's a flood among us and the river hasn't even peaked height yet! Half the city has been mandatorily evacuated. I had to help my friend MOVE her whole house because we're pretty positive it's going to be almost beyond repair by the end of this. Not only did we move all the belongings that we could, but she fosters animals so she had 6 cats and a dog to evacuate! And as if knowing the flood was coming wasn't enough, while we've been prepping for it Mother Nature has decided to actually give us RAIN.... for the past three days (off and on but still) RAIN! for THREE DAYS! It's still raining now while we're flooding! I'm so lucky my house is high enough we shouldn't be affected but holy cow do I ever feel helpless! :s

PS: My friend that I mentioned above, what's so devastating is that she JUST bought her beautiful old character home! They're in the middle of renovations and haven't even lived there a full year, and she's going to basically have to start from scratch all over again!

WOW, we have severe thunderstorm conditions in effect right now.... with tornado warnings and the works.... hail that could possibly kill my dog.... and this eerie silences that keeps taking place every ten-15 minutes or so. That's no exaggeration, it's all like "death storm 101 this is how we do it!" for 10 minutes straight with ear shattering. earth shaking thunder... then all of a sudden such calm and silence that I can hear the crickets in my back yard! Then the house shakes with such tremendous thunder and we're back to storm of the year!

I will stream as long as I can, unless the power cuts out, then I will abruptly disappear. In that case please forgive me as I'm probably taking cover for my life or propping furniture against doors and windows to keep them shut against mother nature's wrath. I'm sure you'll understand
