Ever need a good old-fashioned whine
fest? Ever wish you could REALLY make it a WINE-fest? Mostly my
life is cruising along BEAUTIFULLY. My first book came out last week
and is a 'bestseller' according to Barnes & Noble—something
that is VERY VERY Cool... But I had a REALLY annoying evening, so I
am just going to take a moment to complain.
Lesson 1: Never PASTE pictures into
blogger.
This first is the REASON that this post
really just couldn't be anything but a whinefest. I have a guest
over on my regular blog (who wrote a FABULOUS post) but I tried and
tried and tried and Blogger kept eating the bloody post.
Turns out the trouble was embedded
pictures. GRRRRR. Each one took like forty thousand lines of HTML
and kept crashing the bloody thing. And each time I'd write my little
intro and format a few things... and then GONE.
So don't do that.

Lesson 2: Turns Out if You are
Unhealthy and Feel Poorly for Months, it makes you CRABBY
HWMNBMOTI has been a big grouch-puss
for a couple weeks, testy, pissy, crabby... And I've (helpfully) been
telling him his medications aren't working (they are supposed to
mellow the mood swings) and he has been ANGRY with me for not letting
him HAVE his moods. We finally talked it through and a lightbulb
went on. He hasn't felt well for MONTHS... thing after thing in his
physical health keeps happening and then it is layered with the
mental health stuff (PTSD response, anxiety).
For pete's sake, I study PAIN for a
living. I KNOW it is depressing to live with a miserable condition.
But when it is too close to home (inside the home) it is easy not to
apply what you know.

Lesson 3: (the one I intend to apply
ASAP): If you don't have an icemaker, then there is a SYSTEM to the
ice trays and if you don't FOLLOW IT, then you are likely to be hit
in the head with the tray you left in there with TWO cubes and
started a NEW tray using more than half of it.
For the LOVE OF LLAMAS, EMPTY the
bloody tray of ice and fill it with water before starting a new one
or I will BEAT YOU!
And Now, to make myself feel better, I
am going to sprinkle this post with llamas.
(By the time you read this, I won't be crabby anymore...)

My kids are famous for not refilling the ice tray with water. *screams*
Happy about the book and hope hubby feels better soon. :D
I was going to be all sympathetic but then I saw the flying llamas and now I'm all "I WANT ONE!" and that's really not very helpful, is it?
Chary-have you TRIED hitting them with the trays? I'm really thinking the idea shows promise.
(THANK YOU!)
Leanne-yeah, they had that effect on me too, so it's all good.
There are a lot of llamas out where I used to live in Idaho. They use them as guard dogs for sheep.
i feel your pain--and seriously--i hope you are feeling better--thanks for stopping by my blog--cool pics :)
Michael- Well and llamas as pack animals do a lot less erosion--say for hiking into mountains or down canyons--their feet (and weight) are not as bad as horses or donkeys. And if you annoy them, they spit at you, so that's a bonus.
Lynn, thank you!
Ok Hart, the time has come. I've been reading your posts for over a year, and haven't once found an explanation of who HWMNBMOTI is, assuming husband, but then I must know what the initials stand for.
You study pain? For a living? I've been a chronic pain patient for eleven years and just broke up with my doctor two months ago. I'm med free, all thanks to The Feldenkrais Method. Just had to brag for a second. Thanks. *curtsies nicely*
Love the llamas, especially hydrallama...

As the guest in question, I apologize from the bottom of my heart! Or Hart in your case. But it's still somewhere near my bottom. Oh crap, this is why celebratory mojitos and comments don't mix.
And there's a llama farm near my house, which if I knew anything about llamas, I'd go over to with an appropriate bucket of food for them. As it is, I mostly just give carrots to the three shetland ponies next door.
I have been seeing an unusual amount of llamas (live!) all spring/summer, because apparently llama farms are a thing in Norway now (!), and of course every time I do I a) think of you; and b)break out in (llama) song, and then c) people think I'm crazy.
But it's worth it. Llamas rock!
