As well, now the 5 YR old, 9 YR old and 16 YR old are barfing, I got stung by a wasp and it got stuck in my arm and was hanging there and I had to flick it off and the stinger was still in there so I had to take it out and my arm REALLY swelled up like 10 times normal size and now it looks like a balloon and is all red, hot, hard, itchy, swollen and sore from being so swollen and stretched out; it feels like it’s going to rip and explode, like one of those big fat sausages that splits when you fry it so I put calamine lotion on it, put an ice pack on it and took Aspirin and Benadryl for the swelling, pain and allergic reaction. I can hardly even move it it’s so swollen and hurts so much; it’s agony and of course it HAS to be my left arm too and I’m left-handed! The neighbours next door also got a cute little 5 week old Shih Tzu puppy and let us play with it and I’m so jealous and it makes me want a Chihuahua even more but of course my mother and hubby will never go for it, and a friend of mine and her family moved back to the Netherlands from Italy(she’s Dutch) due to economic reasons and she said it was a 16 HR drive and here it takes 3 DAYS to drive from Ontario to BC!
I was also excited yesterday when a package arrived in the mail I THOUGHT was the cool hippo T-shirt I’d ordered and that I was looking forward to receiving…..but when I opened it up it was instead a wolf and a tiger shirt….they’d mixed up the order and the bill enclosed was for a woman in Alberta; they’d switched our orders! I’m furious! WHY DO these things ALWAYS happen to ME? I think I really must be cursed! On their website it also said exchanges on U.S orders ONLY but they sure as hell BETTER exchange it and send me the hippo shirt I ordered esp. as it WAS their fault; they’re the ones that sent the wrong shirt and I’m sure as hell NOT paying for something that I don’t want and didn’t order, and I don’t want a stupid tiger and wolf shirt; I want the hippo one that I’d ordered so if they refuse to exchange it I’ll just have the credit card company put a stop on the payment. I’m so sick of all this shit always happening to me. It’s like diarrhrea; it keeps on coming and never lets up.Why can’t things just go right for once?
