I'll move in for the summer!!! I'm really ticked off at the moment. I was taking a nap, and some idiots fired up their grill right below my window (the smell of that stuff makes me really gag - I can't stand it!! Even with all the windows closed I can smell it) and then they're kicking this soccer ball around and up in the air - towards the building! I didn't care to have something crash through my window while I'm lying there, so I thought I'd just come out and work on the computer. ARRRGGH!! More idiots grilling on the other side!! I'm pretty sure it's illegal on this side, as its a public park. I suppose it would be pretty mean spirited to call the cops on a family barbecue? But hey, their kid is blocking the fire hydrant too! Memorial Day is becoming for me a reminder that being a misanthrope is a step UP for me in the summer. OK, now someone is howling. Literally howling outside. I totally understand the crotchety old guy you-kids-get-off-the-lawn thing now.
Being able to vent here is a good alternative to pharmaceuticals, thanks guys.
Gracie, I think it might be a good idea for you to meet with a financial planner. It might be useful to have a "disinterested" view (by that I mean an outsider not involved in the emotions of the situation - I hope I'm making that sound ok).
BTW, one of my all-time faves is "the cask of amantillado" That guy was dark!
