An Incomplete List of Reasons I’m Ornery

1. It’s hot, and it’s only going to get worse. Something is always sweaty, and sweat makes me itch. 

2. My clothes are uncomfortable.

3. My kids won’t stop fighting.

4. I can’t hear anything. I’ve had my hearing checked, and they’ve said it’s fine, but everything sounds muffled to me. I constantly have to ask people to repeat themselves, and I hate it. 

5. My house is always a mess.

6. I have neuropathy, and I’m in pain all the time. Some days it’s worse than others. There’s never a moment I can’t feel it. Sometimes I can’t sleep because of it (I take medication, but it only helps a little).

7. Because of the medication, I’m gaining weight and tired all the time. I’ve talked to my doctor about other medications, and the other options also cause weight gain and drowsiness. 

8. Potato bugs

9. We are in a drought, and I just want there to be water aplenty and no more fires (it’s only beginning).

10. Social media

11. My hair bugs me.

12. I have sleep apnea, and my CPAP stresses me out. Replacing the supplies, filling it with water, cleaning it… (if I die in my sleep, tell them I never cleaned my CPAP).

This post makes me sound like a miserable, old hag. I have my moments, but it isn’t all bad. So to provide balance in my life (and convince you that I’m not as horrible as I sound), my next post will be an incomplete list of reasons my life is amazing.
