Don't mind me. I'm sick and therefore cranky. My nose won't give me any respite and though I have (mostly) the use of my voice again today, it still feels like there's scratchy fabric wadded up there. Right now, I'm being driven to the breaking point by the continual sneezing that I'm doing. You just don't know how much I utterly and completely despise, with ever fiber of my being the act of sneezing. So doing it three and four times in a row is enough to make me want to break things. I can't stand sneezing!!

My mom's harrassing me again because while we just replaced her harddrive and spent hours over at her house on Thursday of last week setting it up and getting it working (we didn't leave her place until 9pm!), she's somehow apparently broken it again. So she's calling and calling and I keep avoiding answering. I don't know what the fuck she does to her pc but I'm sick and tired of her using us as free tech support:

• First off, she's a fucking half-hour drive one way away from us. 


• Secondly, she knows that my Love has to fix pc's all day at work and doesn't like doing it then - and he's getting paid to be there at least! 


• Third, we're broke. I don't have the extra money in gas to drive up there. 


• Fourth, I am NOT, contrary to popular belief, a computer tech. So when she leaves rambling messages on my answering machine about what the error on her screen is - ....in section 1000f.sjeofjkose08209303.dfko..... - I don't know what the hell it means. (No, strike that, I know enough to know that it means you DID SOMETHING WRONG.) 


• Fifth, we JUST FUCKING FIXED IT. It was working when we left her house and so whatever the hell she did just isn't my problem.

Grr. Yes, I'm cranky and I don't feel good and I don't really feel like dealing my mom of the ever-fucking-up-of-pc's. Woman just doesn't know what to do with it and doesn't even remotely understand it and never will. So why she's so hyper to get it back working is beyond me.

*sighs* I'm going to go. I'm just ranting and that's never fun. Besides, I think American Idol is coming on and that's my Love's new guilty pleasure.
