What I'm Reading This Week #29

Yeah. 

Bugs about sums it up.  

Twas the week from hell this week.  In addition to being the week that Mom took her turn and gaggles of mistakes that took her life started, life just thwapped me like a wet Nerf ball.  The railing sh*t the bed and I had to go through 4 different techniques to get it to where I wanted it to be.  It's darker than the other one but they're not side by side so hopefully that helps somehow but it took a LONG time to get that fixed.  I told my friend on a 2 hour phone call that this week could "feast on a satchel of Richards" and that was Tuesday.  The tinting dudes were complete (insert 12 different inappropriate descriptors I typed and erased here) and tried to say that they weren't going to give us a refund for the 5% strip they effed up on the windshield AND that we would have to pay to have the windshield redone because the strip would probably screw up the shield tint.  When I messaged the Mr I didn't give a rat's ass about the strip at the top and to tell them to remove it, redo the shield at THEIR cost, he told them that and said he had no problem getting the credit card company and BBB involved which seemed to change their tune.  Now we have to wait for 2 weeks for them to friggin' redo the whole thing which means we'll have driven there and back 6x for this stupid thing.  The word Quality is in their title.  What a LIE!   The following day was an exhausting therapy session and upon finishing it, the Mr and I drove up the street to the vein doc to raise hell about why didn't they take care of the discontinue use order I called about 10 days ago and followed up on 5 days ago.  We went round and round with them and the person I talked to to get the pump sent back did not get back with me yesterday like she said she was going to.  Now I'm going to have to follow up at some point today and see the status because that wench is going to be doing my next ablation Wednesday and I really don't feel good about allowing her to do something like that when I'm also jabbing a voodoo doll of her.  Then yesterday there was a hiccup with the railing installation that was the cherry on it all.

So to this week, I say:
