A proper complaining post

[linaewen]

I'm not sure I can do this, but I'll try. I'm going to try to complain about feeling ho hum and see if I can do it without spoiling my snit by looking at the bright side at the end. ;-)

Oops, I just spoiled it by winking. Oh, well!

I'll try again.

On the gloomy side of things:

I'm tired. Really tired. Too tired to go to the visitation of my cousin-in-law who died suddenly the other day. Hopefully I'll feel better for the funeral.

I'm cold. Can't seem to get warm, though I suppose I could turn up the heat a bit. And I have a headache.

I'm irritated. This pinched nerve I have is giving me trouble. Not bad trouble, not painful trouble, just irritating trouble, of the cold, tingly leg can't sleep on my back at night variety.

I'm bored. This in spite of the fact that I have no less than 4 never-seen Sean Bean movies to watch and endless books to read.

I'm at my wit's end. How on earth am I supposed to cook anything in this airtight apartment where the smell of previous meals linger so that everything smells like yesterday's lunch? And I had to make tuna casserole yesterday, ick.

Hey! I wonder if I'm sick?

On the bright side of things:

It's snowing!!! Winter storm watch snowing!

I successfully ran two errands today.

I didn't yell at anybody, even though I'm feeling glum for whatever reason.

I talked on the phone with a friend this morning and it was nice.

I have some never-seen Sean Bean movies to watch. ;-)

On that note, maybe I'll get me some hot chocolate, an aspirin, a hot water bottle for my pinched nerve, and a wee snack, then sit down and watch one of those films. What better way to spend a cold, snowy, feeling-tired kind of day?

I don't think you have it in you to be chronically glum or gloomy!

Is midwest cold different than east coast cold?

*hugs*

I can rarely sustain a good sulk, that's for sure -- which sometimes is a disadvantage!

Right now, I'm thinking midwest cold is colder -- where we currently live, it's 16 degrees getting up to 33 (maybe), where we used to live near Philly PA, it's 45, getting up to almost 60. But the snow here is lovely this morning!

Thanks, Tom. The snit was ruined before it began, the moment I tried to write about it. ;-) I'm feeling fine today.

You cheerful people make me sick!



LOL! (((Lin)))

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Hee! Sorry... I think...

[estellye.livejournal.com]

That is one snit officially spoiled. You just couldn't do it, could you? ;)

LOL, this is one of the things I appreciate about you (((Lin)))

May things look snowier, smell less like canned fish, and feel less tingly soon!

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Definitely snowier, less tingly, too and I had a good sleep. And the smell of coffee is covering up the fishiness!

[chic-too.livejournal.com]

You definitly sound like you are getting sick, hope it's not the flu!
Bundle yourself and have the cup of cocoa and just relax!!!!
Hope you are felling better by the time you read this!!!

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

I am indeed feeling better; I think it was just lack of sleep catching up with me.

i love yoru icon, especially since i just watched sharpe's rifles tonight with mr b and he said we need to bite teh bullet and buy the lot! and hornblower too! so yeah i love yoru icon

and as for your snit, sometimes it does the body good to finally get in a snit and let it all out as much as you can - i learned that last week :)

hoping you get some decent sleep tonight.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

How hard would biting THAT bullet be? You'd only notice the pennies going out of your pocket for a minute, and then Sharpe would make you forget. Yay for mr b!

I slept very well last night, thank you!

[maidoforange.livejournal.com]

((((Lin)))). I am sorry you are feeling tired and down. I hope the chocolate and Bean movies help.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Thanks, love, I am feeling better this morning. Hot chocolate is always good, and Bean... well! :-D

[samarra.livejournal.com]

I think you are sick. I think you need some rest. Do absolutely nothing but watch Sean Bean movies, that's an order!

*tight snuggles*

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

*obeys with alacrity*

((((You))))

I slept well, feeling much better.

[accioboytoy.livejournal.com]

Lin, Lin, Lin...the smiley-winky does NOT go on a depressed post! *sighs*

Let the Mistress teach you how to properly complain....watch and learn.

I'm tired, I'm freezing and my freaking pinched nerve is about to send me around the bend!I can appreciate tingling, in its place, but not in my hip for God's sake! And the smell in here is unreal - do you think there could possibly be some ventilation in here, or what? Now I'm doomed to tuna, and by the way - why am I always the one cooking here?

Hmph. Maybe a little hot Sean Bean action can redeem this day. If not, I'm going to nap and the boys can stink up the kitchen on their own for a change!

See how easy that is? Thank you, I'll be here all week. =D

ROFL!!!! Can you write my next rant for me? This is gold!!

(and just a few more just for kimby)

Gold I tell ya!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

[kimbys-place.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! (and I am UNANIMOUS in that!!!!)

[accioboytoy.livejournal.com]

Everyone needs a talent; can you see me with my own satellite radio show? Free to assault the ears of the entire free world and little or no censorship? FCC, take that!!!!!!!

[solodancer.livejournal.com]

You should do a podcast!!! They're free. Mark knows how to do them, though I don't know how he'd do it with you out there. He's been dying to try his hand at podcasting,but he can't figure out what to use for content.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

:-D

That was a glorious snit! Now why can't I write it like that, even when I'm thinking it? Hee!

[accioboytoy.livejournal.com]

I was born to snark, my love, and you were born to uplift those around you. Aren't we an unlikely pair?

*loves you*

[solodancer.livejournal.com]

sorry to hear about your cousin. (((Margaret)))

And I hope you're feeling a wee bit better today.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed. Sometimes all it takes to feel better is to start to complain about it -- and then go get some good sleep. Thanks for the hugs!

[kimbys-place.livejournal.com]

*giggling* Like I told you last night, you are a TERRIBLE whiner. You definitely need 'whine' lessons.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

I know, I know! :-D I probably could do it better if I didn't have this overwhelming desire not to have people worrying about me. But I guess that's one of the purposes of a proper whine, isn't it?

(((((You))))) Its' sooooo lovely to talk with you, always!

[(Anonymous)]

ROTFLOL!!!! You are clearly not a born whiner, but nice try. And TL's reply was superb, if you can call such snarkiness such a thing. :-D Glad to hear you're feeling better today. YAY! Love you, LHB
