The Venting Thread

Super super sore today. Finally around 2PM I took a fistful of drugs and went to Target, but I don't like their produce and I didn't feel up to going to the grocery store. So I have no food.

I ended up in my dad's recliner in the living room for the rest of the evening. Asked my mom what she was thinking about for dinner and she said "I made you lunch! And bought you lunch yesterday!" Oh. I see. I will remember that next time she has surgery and can't get around well... I owe her two lunches then I'm out.


On top of that, last night I went out with my agility friends (the local trial is this weekend, obviously I didn't go to the trial but I told them I wanted to go to dinner and socialize.) I told the out of towners who didn't know that I had done a half-marathon that morning and one of them said "Wow! Congratulations! We're proud of you! You should be really proud of yourself!" I almost cried because outside of a few of you here who have been awesome and a handful of people on Facebook, really nobody has said anything like that. Especially not "we're proud of you!"
I mentioned to my mom that so-and-so said this and I was really touched because nobody else had really told me that. This is clearly her cue to say SHE'S proud of me, right?
Nope. Of course not.

My aunt called to ask my dad to look at her tires tomorrow before she drives my grandma to Indianapolis to visit an eye specialist. She didn't ask to talk to me and tell me "good job" on my race even though I know she knows I ran it since I have for the last four years, and the results are printed in the newspaper.


So many times I wish I could just ragequit my family.

I just discovered that being allergic to bananas when you already have a latex allergy is pretty common, because they have similar allergens. That's pretty neat, because I am allergic to latex.

On the flip side, I was also told I might want to look out for kiwi, pineapple, avocado, celery, melon, tomatoes, chestnuts and passion fruit.

.....If I become allergic to tomatoes, avocado, kiwi, or melon....I'm just going to ragequit eating.

I've been told similar things, I'm allergic to pineapple, kiwi, and papaya. I was also told to beware of strawberries in addition to what you listed, but I've had zero issues with those things (or bananas, or laytex).

I'm allergic to latex, mango, pineapple and kiwi. :[ I didn't start life with an allergy to any of the fruits, and the allergies are getting worse over time. Started with pineapple, then mango, then kiwi, and I'm told I'll just keep getting allergic to more and more things.

Almost got into a car accident today.

It was raining and we headed out to go bowling and as I'm driving down the main road a lady decides to pull out of the side street without looking when I was only a few feet away. I slammed on my brakes and thank GOD for my brand new tires or I probably would have skidded but I was able to stop mere inches from her car... JUST in the knick of time.

I had my headlights on and everything so it's not like I wasn't visible and it wasn't raining hard at the time.. she just didn't check before pulling out.

Scared the ever loving crap out of me and I had Hannah in the backseat
