I had no idea this was a high security app. My router has decided to block anything it thinks is high security, so I literally have to shut off my wifi to get on here. Or my bank. Wtf router? Not happy.

My computer is in the shop, and I am bored. I'm also afraid I'm going to have to buy a new graphics card. $$$ The thing reboots every time I stress out the graphics. I think it's overheating, but the temperature monitors on CPU and GPU looked good until it rebooted, so IDK.

All those friends of my conservative Facebook acquaintance were crowing about how great the alternate halftime show was. Like, guys, we all know you were just watching Kid Rock, so don't make me laugh. His music makes my ears cry.

I paid $20 for Amazon to gift wrap five items, and they stuck them all in one bag. Wtf? There's no way to contact a human and complain, and the chat bot keeps running me in circles. Not happy. It's a good thing the gifts were all for the same person.

Truth! It's also DEI when most red states get more money from the government than they pay in. Whereas blue states, by and large, foot the bill.

I hate February. My water heater is leaking. Again. I can't even believe it. My son doesn't know if it's in a place that can be repaired, I don't see how we can afford to replace it. Fuck.

So, my insurance agent looked over my homeowners policy and couldn't find a way to cover the boiler. She said to check if there's a warranty. I don't think there is. But it's only from 2018, so maybe? IDK. I guess I have to figure out where to get $6k before everything goes up in price.

Well, even with the repair yesterday, the broken furnace was leaking too badly to run. We just shut it off completely. For now, we're heating with space heaters. I put a claim in to my insurance to see if they'll pay to replace the boiler. Cross your fingers. I don't have $6000.

The total of the furnace repair is going to be $6000. That I do not have. I have no idea what to do now.

O. M. G. It was $650 to fix the thing in the furnace that burnt out, plus put a new valve on one of the radiators. But the furnace itself is cracked and leaking. So it's going to be another $5000 - $9000 that I do not in any way have. At least they can reuse today's part. FML

Waiting for the repair guy to come look at the heating system. Is the smell coming from the furnace? The radiators? Both? Ugh. Heat is currently off. Also, it's 22°F outside right now. We're heating the whole house with 3 space heaters. Lol

My dining room radiator has been leaking, but now there's a burning smell coming from it. We shut off the heat, & I have to call the oil company later. Did not need this in a month where we have property taxes, a quarterly water bill, yearly car insurance, & Amazon Prime to pay. Right after x-mas.

The owner of the Chinese restaurant that we go to sent us a present tonight when we ordered. It was a really nice bath gel gift box. So cheers to Tom for being the nicest guy!

The spine doctor says I don't need surgery! So yay for that. The next step is a temporary nerve block to see if my pain is in a facet joint. If that works, then they can do a cauterization that will last longer.

Just when my insurance decided to pay for my MS medication, I may have to change companies. UMASS is no longer taking Tufts after the first. IDK if that means all Tufts, or just the ACA version. Have to call tomorrow and find out. We really need single payer.

My (adult) daughter found out today that she has a deviated septum, and she needs surgery to fix it. It does not sound like a barrel of fun.

I just remembered that the dishwasher is broken (and relatively old). And it's about to be Thanksgiving. This should be fun. Anybody have any suggestions for a new yet cheap dishwasher? I've heard good things about Bosch, but their entry level is $549. Not quite sure I want to spend that much.

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to make pie. Because I really want to try apple blueberry pie, but I'm not up to rolling out dough. It all just seems like too much work. Ugh. Overwhelming.

Medication annoyances: MassHealth won't cover my MS medication unless I try a bunch of cheaper meds first. Novartis says I have to count my grown children's income for their free plan, so I come in at $1000 over the limit. So after next month when I run out, I guess I go on cheap meds. Not cool.
