This is My Blog on Drugs

Anyone reading my post yesterday I’m sure came away with raised eyebrows and perhaps scratching their heads, especially regular readers.

It is quite possibly the most embarrassing mess of typos I ever produced and I put it out on the Internet for the entire world to see.

I was sick over the weekend and something as simple as having a virus caused MS to come galloping back with a vengeance. I wasn’t even going to mention it here in the blog because it is simply too tiresome. However, the medications I take for all the different symptoms can, how should I put it? Hmmmm. I know… render me addled and illiterate. And that is just what occurred.

There was scary grammar and frightening (or absent) punctuation. There were misspelled words and sentences that made no sense. It was…pretty bad.

I was able to edit the blog post on line, but the e-mail version is forever. So I apologize to those of you that I left shaking your heads in horrified disbelief (hee hee, I love hyperbole). Next time I will be more careful with my editing. As in, I will actually do some.

But vote here for Wheelchair Kamikaze anyway!

Just Another Relaxing Friday Night

A cup of tea, reading, knitting, feet up in bed. Ahhhh.

So I can take it in stride when MY SUNROOM CEILING FALLS DOWN!!!!!

I’m sitting in my bedroom when I hear this ungodly crash. And this is what I found:




The roof and ceilings were repaired in April. And now the repaired ceiling is lying in soaking wet pieces on the ground. I would not call this a successful job.

I frantically called the contractor who had done the work. And guess what? He was SNOTTY. What is this, an epidemic of snottiness? My ceiling is on the floor and he’s nasty to me?!?!

He actually said to me that he told me at the time the roof was unfixable. And I would find this acceptable? I said to him, are you kidding me? You said I can’t fix your roof and I said okey dokey then here’s $3000 thanks for not fixing the roof?

And he replied “I can only assume that you are talking to me like that because you are upset.”

!!!!!!!!!

My CEILING is on the FLOOR and I am hurting his feelings because I raised my voice?!?!

“If you think that was bad” I replied, “then hear this: I paid you to fix these things AND NOW MY FUCKING HOUSE IS FALLING DOWN!!!!” Because the living room ceiling is looking pretty precarious too.

We went back and forth, him insisting he told me he couldn’t repair the roof, I saying he never told me any such thing, until it was obvious we were getting nowhere. He offered to give me back my money if I didn’t call the insurance company.

Oh, I don’t think so. The insurance company recommended him. They are definitely going to hear from me. So he said forget it then, sue me. That is when I hung up. And filed a claim with my homeowner’s.

Now I have to go cry for a little while because an up part of my house is down. And it is a terrible mess that I am going to have to clean up. It is just too much.

I am so tired.
