Grumbling is, surprisingly, a good thing

The festive season is guaranteed to make me crankier than ever. So far this month I've had the shits about:

  • Christmas carols and tinsel
  • The loss of another hub cap
  • The elastic in most of my favourite pairs of undies giving out. In concert.
  • Why are undies described as pairs? Another source of irritation
  • Flies, wasps, buzzy things and Huntsmen spiders that want to live inside
  • The idiot child next door who has just got his P plates and goes to work at 4.45 AM
  • Ants in the mulch heap--Jumping Jacks? Really?
  • Mystery green stuff growing in the cupboard under the sink
Oh, woe is me. But guess what? I've realized all these grumbles are about normal things that are totally unrelated to breast cancer. How cool is that? I honestly didn't think I'd live long enough to be just an average, run of the mill Grinch.

    Hehehe.  I love parties, especially costume parties.   But I am a terrible host.  Finger food I can heat up is about all you get unless I am feeling particularly generous then I might make a bacon and chees cob.  That best be done before the wine or there is no hope. :wink:

    Plumbing is the devil's work which waits until the most inopportune moment to bugger up.

    I had to google dementors @kezmusc TBH the idea of a birthday party for 30 at home would make me seriously unstable without demented costumes :)

    You always make me laugh @Zoffiel  But absolutely that is cool. Feels kinda normal huh?

     My shits this week.  Had a huge birthday party planned for last Saturday night. 30 people coming over dressed as their favourite Harry Potter character. 

    Leaking toilet first up to fix on Saturday morning.  Just finished putting the thing back together and on the first use the Fing thing blocks up. (the leak was fixed mind you) Had to drag it out again, fix that, while I am supposed to be hanging floating candles and dementors.

    Walk out to the kitchen, the dishwasher has shat itself and kitchen is now full of water running under the fridge. Pull that out and it appears that a rotten mouse has decided to chew through the inlet hose.  Think I could find any plumbers tape?

    Mystery green stuff is a regular at my place as are critters trying to invade the house.  Baby Eastern Brown the other day.  

    Biggest annoyance.  When my husband raids my tool box and doesn't put anything back !.  Aaaaggghhh.!
