Spectacular Spiral
Thanksgiving wasn't a great one this year. I suppose the holiday went fine, but the events before and after made it so unbearable that it tainted the holiday itself.
For starters, we're having problems with one of our tenants- again. They picked right before Thanksgiving to start their latest temper tantrum. You might be asking what causes their tantrums. Usually it involves them having not honoring the lease they signed. Stupid shit like paying rent on time and not causing damage to the rest of the building. *rolling eyes*
My husband was afraid we weren't going to be able to go out of town to see his mom over Thanksgiving. I told him (and I'm putting this in quotes because they were my exact words), "Screw that! Nobody's going to fix a thing until Monday at the earliest, and we'll be back in town by then." He decided I was right, so off we went.
But the stress has affected me greatly. I'm sitting here with the worst cold of my life. I swing between not getting enough sleep and doing nothing but sleeping. And when I stepped on the scale this morning, I found out that I lost 5lbs over Thanksgiving.
And given the bullshit that it seems we must go through, I'm not getting back to normal anytime soon.

lost weight at Thanksgiving????
Wow - now that's a sign of badness! I really hope you can deal with those assholes {again!}. It is the same people from before, isn't it? I tell ya, if the economy wasn't so bad I'd urge you to try and get rid of them. But, crappy tenants can sometimes be better than none! Good luck and feel better.
Yeah. No kidding. And I ate
Yeah. No kidding. And I ate nothing but carbs. I think the only thing I had on Thanksgiving were mashed potatoes and gravy, a roll, and some of that weird, toxic pink jello cranberry salad stuff that always finds it's way onto the table. My diet there was atrocious, and I still lost!
*sigh* Same people. I can't stress just how *lovely* these people are to deal with. Word to the wise- don't call your landlord expecting them to fix a problem that you caused and that's your responsibility to fix, and then hang up on them after trying to interrupt them. I mean, that's a world record for the number of stupid things done in under five minutes.
Thank you. I'm getting better, but it's going to take a while. I got hit with more depressing news today, and now the stress is making my face break out like I'm a meth addict. I look like freakin' Amy Winehouse!
Eeck!
Well, I hope it all works out - tenants and the newest bad news. And to think I'm over here whining because I can't seem to figure out how to do a proper search!
Oh, and I love that weird cranberry-jello-whatever-it-is. We went out to eat at this buffet place and they didn't have any. But, to me genuine shock, the food was awesome! You know how it is when food is made in mass quanities like that, but every dish was seasoned perfectly! So, after we stuffed ourselves, I took us back through the buffet line for a to-go order of a full dinner to munch on later. It's so not the same as cooking at home, but we had more than enough turkey and dressing and all for just under $40.00!
Keep your chin up, Amy! Maybe you'll find some kind of holiday/stupid people rehab. Oh ya, that's called a spa! Book a facial and massage asap. Spa's make everything better.....well, at least until they make you leave! lol
Ehhh, it'll all work out.
Ehhh, it'll all work out. The newest news isn't really bad. Just disappointing. And even though there's nothing left to work out and it's a bummer, I'm secretly kind of glad. It would be expensive and I need the money elsewhere (it's an art show I didn't get into).
With the tenants, that will work out too. I'm just not quite sure how or when yet, but I am fairly certain it will work out positively for me.
Take it for what it is, IG
A quick weight loss remedy. I gained weight in one year and have never been able to shed it. What makes it worse is having to buy clothes. I don't know how to dress a horse. I have tried EVERYTHING including killing myself at the gym.....everyday.....for 6 months and nothing......I don't have to eat a Thanksgiving meal, all I have to do is see one and I gain 5 pounds.
Would you loan me your tenants?
Ha! Forget loaning, I'll
Ha! Forget loaning, I'll give them to you. No, wait!! I'll pay you to take them!! Unfortunately, I think it would only take about a month before you're on the phone, yelling at me to take them back. Trust me, stomach stapling, a tummy tuck, and lipo are MUCH easier than these people, and will cost you much less. (For a while there, every time their number came across the caller ID, my husband and I would joke, "Don't answer the phone. It will cost $1000." It wasn't too long before it stopped being a joke.)
Seriously, I'm all about the weight loss. I'm not usually one who will complain about losing five pounds without any effort. But this has not been worth it. Sure, the weight loss is great. The blood pressure readings aren't, and I'm not keen to spend Christmas in the hospital with my first heart attack.
