Summer, Part III

Just about everything in my house has problems.  Can't get my laptop to link up correctly with the wireless router......bought it last April.  I have toxic mold in my office because of a roof leak several years ago.  I can't afford to fix that although if I ever sell, I will have to have something done.  The air conditioner died.  The furnace makes a horrible metal-on-metal sound when it kicks on and when it kicks off.  It's so loud I have to turn the volume on the TV high enough to wake the whole neighborhood.  And now.....just a few days ago, my water heater quite working.  I've been having cold "spit baths"  and my hair is just plain dirty.  I am in total overwhelm....as usual.  And I'm continually thinking "What's next?".  Oh....I forgot one thing....I lost my cell phone.  That whole thing was a nightmare.  Actually a guy at Sprint went out of his way to help me.  I didn't have my phone insured and there lies the problem.  Just try to get a new phone while you are still on contract......just glad I have one after losing mine 2 months ago.  Oops.....forgot another one.  I have a bed like a sleep number.  My side won't hold the air.  I wake up every morning like a pretzel.  Yes, I know.....sleep on the other side.  I tried and it didn't work.  So every night before I go to bed, I pump it up......that's a fun 3-4 minutes.  Sometimes on the week-end, I will get up early, pump up the bed and go back to sleep.

On a positive note, I am getting some help on Saturday with a few things.  Until then, I will keep having cold "baths" and pumping up my bed.  I know the furnace, air conditioner (I'll worry about it next August) and ceiling won't get fixed, but a nice hot shower and good nights sleep will do wonders for my attitude which sucks right now.
