It’s not bad enough that I’m sick. Or that I’m so in debt, it’s not even funny. Nevermind that I may have to move back home…no, no, no, that wasn’t enough. On my way out of my apartment complex this morning, who did I run into? My most favorite person in the world…my little sister’s ex boyfriend, the same twerp who crashed my car back in January. He also owes me about $600, not that I ever expect him to pay. He hasd the nerve to ask if him, his brother, and their 2 friends could hide at my house…apparently they all decided to run away from home. Aww, poor little assholes, my heart bleeds for you. Really. I ever so politely told them if I catch them anywhere near my house, I’m calling the cops. Sigh…what a wonderful week…

**I feel your pain**

This week:

Ex wife went to jail  
My youngest had a tooth knocked out by bullies  
My wife got laid off

Just this afternoon, in need of comfort food, I went to my fav chineese place for their fried oysters. Mmmm oysters, I take a bite YAHHH!!! The internal juice was the temp of hot lava. I’ve burned my lip. Great, now I’m going to look like a crack addict for a week.

I Feel for you, I have to have kidney surgery, on my 20th birthday, away from my family. My Car insurance company made a mistake and it turns out that I have been driving uninsured for the past two weeks, and now they decided that I owe them 298 dollars to fix their mistake. My Health insurance it 250 dollars a month, and I am so broke that I just bought $3.57 of gas in pennis.☹

I need a pick me up, I’m going for ice cream. Oh Wait, I don’ have any money.
