I'm Not Laughing!

So, I've come to the conclusion that this is just not going to be my month.  Forget the fact that my birthday is in four days.  It doesn't matter.  Plus, I'm another year older!  Who wants that?

Wonder why I'm aggravated?  Well, here's just a few choice items over the past couple of days:

1. Just spent a fair chunk of $ on husband's new work wardrobe since he didn't have any extra money saved for this (...and I did????).  But, I can't send him into a professional environment in shorts and t-shirts, can I?
2. Doctor put me on medicine that isn't covered by insurance because the insurance company doesn't feel that it is "medically necessary".  (It is to me!)
3. My Nook?  Well, Barnes & Noble wants to send the replacement to the Virgin Islands. (Yes, they shipped it to the Virgin Islands!)  That is about 1,500 miles away from where I live.  When I called to complain and change the shipping address to the correct one I had to call twice and my second call ended up lasting 50 minutes!
4. My Internet at home stopped working properly.  We thought it was our old computer.  But no......it isn't.  Our new computer recognizes the wi-fi just fine but it shows no connectivity.  Looks like I'll be on the phone with the Internet provider tonight. ETA: Looks like internet is fixed (for now) on the two new computers.  The old computer still won't recognize the wifi and I'm not in the mood to deal with it.  I think we will just make the old laptop a "permanent" resident on the desk so that it can be hooked in directly to the internet.
5. Husband still hasn't made the second half of the truck payment that is due this month.  I normally wouldn't worry too much, but he won't have a paycheck until after the payment is due.  (Not sure what money tree I'm going to pluck that payment from!)
6. My vacation........well, it is beginning to look like a staycation based on Hubby's new job. (At least that means we won't be spending money on gas and eating out.)
7. The stock market continues to plummet and I'm watching my retirement get flushed down the drain.  (I can't do much about this, so I just shrug my shoulders and hope it will rebound in the next 20 years.)

Now that I reread my list, I do have to say that there are a few spots that lightly glimmer.  After all, the money spent on Hubby's wardrobe gained me some Kohl's cash, so it looks like I will be able to get myself a few things starting Wednesday.  And my vacation?  Well, if it does end up a staycation it will mean that I can get some serious cleaning/reorganizing/stitching/sewing done while Hubby works.  See?  I'm trying to put a positive spin on this!

So, where's the chocolate????
