weather, work, family, cat, friends, health...

I'll stop now. Just made myself laugh, I'm so pitiful.

8. I live in Texas Red State hotter Than Hell. It's miserable here.
I want to move away, like to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington.

14. Aside from spending almost all of June sick, it's been ok
First I got something that was suspiciously mumps-like (I might have missed the MMR jab due to when I was born, not parental woo) then came down with the flu, from which I am still recovering. There is a bright side: a few days ago, I would not have believed I would ever recover from this fucking flu, so things are looking up!

22. I saw a beautiful, full arc rainbow yesterday
I'm sorry the OP's summer is not going well. Summer is my least favorite season; by Aug. 1 I'm thinking about fall. And the weather gets better in late August.

19. From february to today I've been through Hell incarnate
Edited on Wed Jul-01-09 02:30 AM by sasquatch
If I die I'm almost sure I won't go to Hell because the Devil won't take me like that bit Sam Kinnison had about why the Devil won't take married people because he couldn't do anything to torment them.

Hope things improve for both of us...and soon!

But certainly the last few months have been not so good for me on a personal level

29. In some respects it's a summer from Hell...but temperature-wise it's a summer IN Hell
Edited on Wed Jul-01-09 07:11 AM by Richardo
Thankfully I have a personal oasis of comfort and sanity available. :)

34. Yeah, me.
I'm just now getting over the virus I've had most of the month, and now my asthma is acting up. It's the damn heat! Hope you're getting some rides in. :hi:

35. Unfortunately, the days of Summers from Heaven/Hell are long gone.
But about 11 years ago, I had a true Summer from Hell.

38. I'm hoping the old saying of bad things happening in 3's is true.
Because then the rest of summer should be lookin' good.

We've had our share of rotten luck and it's only July 1.

:banghead:

39. Not from hell, but busy as hell!
Buying a property for my son to spend grad school in/rent out to a roommate.


A lot to it!

40. Yep, no work,
lost my dental insurance today, it's not good.

But I'm trying to stay positive and find something to
tide me over for the summer.

So my answer is YES!!

42. No. Being done with Didactic Year of Physician Assistant School is Heaven!
B-)

I'm sorry you're having a rough go of it, HG. I hope it gets better for you soon. :hug:

P.S. Don't go anywhere, okay? So many of my DU friends have left or gotten themselves TS'd... :-(

44. I'm still recovering from the Spring from Hell.
The Red River had it's worst flood in recorded history,
My disabled friend was raped.
My stepdad died from pancreatitis.
