She’s Gone From Suck To Blow!

Things that suck:

IBS. Not being able to eat or drink more than water, because your digestive system is being a punk.  This sucks.

Army housing, which is insulated and air conditioned (or not) depending on what the normal climate for the area is. Alaska housing was well insulated, and warm with the thermostat set to 68 even at -50F. Unfortunately, it wasn’t air conditioned, because it doesn’t get that hot there. Normally. Our first summer there? It hit 90-100 for over a month, AND it was the worst fire season in history (at that point) so we couldn’t have our windows open due to the smoke and ash density. Now we’re in WA, No AC, and we had a freak heat wave this summer, over 100 for about a month. Last winter…freak blizzard, this winter…deep freeze. We haven’t been above freezing in days. Last nights low broke a record set in 1919. I have my thermostat at 72, and it’s still cold to me in this house.

There is no normal climate anymore, so Dear Housing: Please just put max insulation and AC standard everywhere ok? Trust me, I know all about freak weather. Married in the Blizzard of 93 (Northeasterners remember that sucker), first daughter born in record setting heat in PA, second…Blizzard again. We are freak weather magnets. It sucks.

Dog Of Epic Evil. Sucks. Yes, he keeps me warm at night. From the knees down. For about 10 minutes. He’s still on the sucks list. See THIS entry if you have any doubt.

Boredom!!!! (Sucks)

This is a given, but DEPLOYMENT SUCKS!

Any day I don’t get to talk to Hunny sucks. Sometimes this is one day out of 7 that sucks, other times is 14 days straight that suck, there have even been thirty of these sucky days strung together like Christmas lights. When this first started, there were about 90 straight sucktastic days!

The Steelers. Yeah I said it!

Things that don’t Suck:

MY perfectly angelic Dog.

Teddy Bears.

Any day I DO get to talk to Hunny.

A new CSI episode.

Soldiers with Puppies.

Cute animals singing Nomnomnom
