I need a life

I am so bored, so lazy, this winter is killing me, depressed and just so excited for spring and this WLS.  I know I havn't gone into this with anyone, but I guess its time to whine.... we started having an addition to our home last August, NOt done yet   ... our carpenter is a lousey no good lier and thief.  our walls and the floor are soo warped we cannot even put on a wood floor, so, to make this short, he only worked like 15 to 20 hours a week.  so after him not showing up for  week, I called and asked what the problem was and he said he was done.  Let me tell you.  it isn't even close to being done.  NOw he wants his final payment.  haha, not gonna get it. so he is bringing us to court.  So... we got another contractor, he gave us an estimate for all the mistakes and things that are not done.  ok, so we have a case here.  so... going out to exercise and dieting (NOT drinking) has been hard.  my dad is ill, my kids are grown, but always have problems.  I NEED some meds I think...If I can't have a glass of wine I might as well do something. can anyone please tell Mother Nature, I need a lawn to mow, or flowers to plant.  I know that would make me feel better. oh boy, sorry guys.  blah blah blah....but thanks for letting me vent.

Well dang you have been through a rougher winter then most. Know what you need to lost all that extra stress. WAY TO MUCH!!! Go get some calgon and ignore the world for as long as you need. Maybe you could start some of your gardening inside?? Start some seedlings? Something to get ready for warmer days to come.Good Luck with all the stuff you got going on. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

haha, kathy funny you would say that, I used to go outside at night with a drink and soak in hot tub, but with the icy deck and snow everywhere it is too much of a pain, plus I can't have a drink.  Might have one Friday,  (gotta treat myself a little)  don't tell my nut. hehe  thanks again for being there when I need to vent.

Vent away anytime. And you KNOW that if anyone could get mother nature to speed up and bring spring - it would be me!!!!  I was outside with my dog yesterday after it stopped raining - the temperature was around 50 degrees and there were birds chirping everywhere.....I had a brief moment of hope until I remembered it was only the middle of February. That sucks with the contractor - that is totally insane. I can relate to you with the sick parent, as much problems as I have with my mother, she is still my mother - and she has kidney cancer - she was scheduled to have surgery 1/15/08 and my brother pissed the surgeon so bad that he refuses to treat her. So she is back at square one, which I do feel compassion for - she's 79, I can't imagine going through that.

Ouch, man that must of sucked, now your brother made your mom suffer by doing his own thing.  Families are hard sometimes.  I have such a hard time deciding if I should say anything or shut up and mind my business.  LIfe is hard.... thanks for your support  good luck with mom

Boy do I know some of those feelings. I am so tired of all this snow and winter crap. I HURT all over with my arthritis and Fibromyalgia! I am not loosing pretty much staying at a stand still ! I would let that no good carpenter take you to court he may be surprised if you can prove he was not done. Take pictures ! I too have always had to DEAL with all the problems. I think that this sites mainly women ( sorry guys) but we do understand all that we go thru and have to deal with our food, surgery loosing weight etc etc etc......... keep us informed whats going on thoughts and prayers your way Your weight loss sister, Pam

Oh...how did I miss this post? I am sorry you are having such a rough time. Even when you win in court (and I am sure you will) it is still a hassle and costs money and that is so frustrating I know. I don't have any good advice for you, except not to wait when you need some support, but to reach out for it early. As a recovering alcoholic and foodoholic, I understand the concept of self-medicating and when we stop doing that in unhealthy ways, we must replace those behaviors with healthy behaviors. Easier said than done, obviously. But you are doing GREAT, not giving into those past behaviors and venting your feelings here. Some one is bond to come up with an idea that will help. And one thing we know for sure...spring will come!
