Let it all hangout -- The Grumpies, whinies, complainies Get It Off Your Chest Thread....

Thanks @canuk-gal
It has been a real rough couple of months. I never thought I'd feel "normal" again. I spent many hours curled up in a ball on the couch. Mouth pain is the worst.

Yes it is. Take care, lovely, on your way to recovery.

I decorated the outside of the house for Christmas for the first time in 30 years. Yesterday a storm blew through and assassinated Prince George of SnowFlake, the lighted 6 ft tall snowman. Bah humbug.
 
Did I remember to backup my old laptop before I erased it? Noooooo. Did I remember to sign out of icloud when I erased my old laptop? Nooooooo. Did I lose all my desktop files on the new laptop when I erased the old one because I didn't sign out of icloud? Yessss.
Did I have a panic attack due to my numbskullery? Yessss.
Did I spent hours restoring, downloading, and backing up everything everywhere? Yesss.

Very few things make me miserable, but this is one of them.

They are probably staying inside somewhere, like I am! Hopefully they will come out later today or tomorrow when it's a bit warmer.

I saw Fresca, Pepsi and Shasta this afternoon thankfully! This weather is BRUTAL. And we cannot even move because I cannot leave our feral cats. Otherwise I seriously would consider a more temperate climate.
I got goosebumps just reading about it.

It's brutal it really is. My body rebels against it too. I am staying inside as much as possible which if you know me is hard to do lol but this bitter cold makes it mandatory
 
Ah, yes, the holiday. Ten people coming for dinner for Christmas and the house smells like something died in the attic. HVAC people are here, it's not the furnace, might be a refrigerant leak. No dead critter found (yet). HVAC tech just called in reinforcements to help identify what it is and where it's coming from. Bah humbug.
 
I'm sick. Just a cold but gotta work the next three: 24, 25, 26. Viruses suck and their timing in pretty sus too.

Poor you. Try to be as well as you can, friend.
 
Update to post #3012. New HVAC system ordered. Sigh. The good news is at least the new system will be more energy efficient than the current one.
 
@Matata Oh no, that's an unexpected big expense!! When are they expected to install it? I don't know where you live, but in the north where I live we would freeze without heat!

You really understand the meaning of "your health is priceless" after a virus comes knocking.

It'll be at least 3 wks for the new stuff to arrive. We still have heat, but when it's on there's a bad smell in one part of the house. The HVAC techs think it may be a small leak in the condenser coil of the air conditioner but they took everything apart and didn't see a leak even though they said the odor smells like refrigerant. We could have chosen to do an expensive diagnostic test that may have confirmed their suspicions but the system is old enough that it should be replaced in a year or two so we decided to bite the bullet and get it over with.

I had to do that last year. I have a furnace with an A-coil in it for the A/C part. The condenser went. So I said, replace that. Can't as the new ones won't work with your old A-coil. Okay, replace that too. Can't do that, the new ones won't fit in your furnace. Okay, so replace everything, heat, A/c, humidifier, etc. Oh well....Hopefully you won't need to run the heat much while it smells, and the new one comes quickly.
