Stupid and Annoying

Ok, I'll admit that I am in a bit of a "mood" (and have just finished off a 32 oz Dr. Pepper) so this post should be taken with a grain of salt, but right now I find the following things stupid and annoying,,,

  • Food allergies are stupid and annoying, especially when there is no food in the house and I don't feel like going to the grocery store. The rest of the family members can make a quick fast-food run, but it's harder for me to do that. I want to be able eat at Panda Express and not have to worry about a possible anaphylactic reaction. I want to be able to eat a regular hamburger with a regular bun and not have to worry about my stomach hurting and getting a migraine. I want to be able to eat pizza. Ugh.
  • Environmental allergies are stupid and annoying especially at this time of year when I like to be outside and sleep with the window open at night. If I take an allergy pill at night, then by mid-day I'm itchy, sneezy, and my nose hurts from rubbing it so much. If I try and take the allergy pill in the morning, I'm so rummy-headed that it probably isn't safe for me to do anything but sit at home.
  • Paying $101 to renew my nursing license is stupid and annoying. I don't mind paying to renew the license, but $101? Why $101? Why not $100 or $105 or some other even amount? $101 is just stupid.
  • Dr. Pepper gives me heartburn. That is super annoying because Dr. Pepper is one of my favorite sodas and I would like to be able to drink it without getting heartburn--especially since I only drink it as a treat maybe once every other month (or less). Stupid heartburn.
  • Appliances that are 10+ years old are stupid and annoying because they all die at once. No, nothing has died completely yet, but it's coming I just know it. The microwave turntable makes a horrible noise so I turn off the turntable in an effort to extend the life of the microwave. The dishwasher started smoking tonight, but Dave was able to fix the problem. The self-clean portion of the oven no longer works. I hate the flooring, cupboards, and countertops in the kitchen. I really want to change the carpet in the house. It's stupid and annoying that I completely suck at decorating so even though I really want to up-date the house, the thought stresses me out because I have no clear direction on what I want to do.
  • Turning 40 is stupid and annoying mostly because I don't think I have really embraced 40 even though it's going to happen (in 9 days) whether I embrace it or not. It's stupid to be so worried about an age. I feel stupid for feeling so unsettled about where I am at in life my career right now. It's annoying to be worrying and wondering if there is something more that I should be doing, but being unable to identify any one thing or "passion" that might guide me in a different direction. Actually, I have several ideas but they are stupid, mostly because they are completely unrealistic.
  • It's annoying that typing this list did not make me feel any better.

Hey at least you kept it to a manageable list. There aren't enough hours in the day for me to go through all of the stupid and annoying things I see out there :)

Oh my. I have had some of those days! Okay, first, I am coming to Spokane next week, and if you want, I will come by and talk to you about decorating your house, because it is FUN!!!! Not yuk! Second, I am so sorry about food allergies,I can't imagine. Third, have you ever tried essential oils? I have been using them for a couple of years, but mainly to clean my floor. I just started using them to treat ailments... I used some last night to help my hip that has woken me up every night for the past year. . . guess what. I didn't wake up last night. I think they may have one that would help with allergies! If you want to know more, let me know. . I am happy to share.
