I am so pissed off tonight and it has nothing to do with fertility. Which could be seen as a good thing… or it could just piss me off further because damnit don’t I have enough crap to worry about right now? My washer, my brand new FUCKING washer, is STILL BROKEN. After getting the drum replaced. Still leaked. And the assholes who manufactured it are just going to send out the repairmen again – you know, at some point NEXT WEEK – to attempt to fix it again. Which means we will now be at least 3 weeks without a washer before we get it working.

Both Den and I are beyond pissed off…. and we are thisclose to calling Home Depot and telling them we would like to return the merchandise for a refund. Only the thought that it’s going to take another several weeks to get a new one shipped to us is preventing me from doing just that. I am so done with this. And I am just so ticked that neither company – not LG nor Home Depot seem to really be motivated to keep our business. Unlike weddings, selling appliances is a repeat business. And we will not be buying any more LG appliances that’s for damn sure. When you buy a brand new appliance you expect it to work – and if it doesn’t work, you expect it to get replaced quickly.

I think the part that gets me so angry is that if either one of those two companies had said, “Oh dear, that’s terrible! Here, we’ll be shipping you a new one right away,” we would have been fine. Annoyed, but reassured. We would have had a new washer that worked and we would have felt appeased by someone immediately fixing the problem.

Instead, we get LG saying HD is supposed to replace new appliances, HD saying they have nothing to do with it once we purchase it, and no one actually fixing the problem. No, strike that: the original problem was fixed, the drum is replaced, but now it’s leaking somewhere else, god only knows where or what. It’s a piece of shit in my opinion.

Though hell, maybe the repairmen who took it apart today didn’t hook something up correctly. As nice as they both were, I couldn’t say I was completely reassured today. (Though, yes, he did run the washer to make sure it worked. It did. And didn’t leak. …. until it hit the rinse/spin cycle. THEN it leaked. After he was gone and we had put in our bedsheets.)

Okay, I am really trying to calm down. I don’t need this stress. (But it’s really hard not being pissed off when every time you think about it you flare up into a temper fit and want to get on the phone immediately and tell the first person who answers the phone at LG to go to hell and take their damn machine with them.)

And here are some completely random things about today:

Day three of stims is done, and today I could barely feel the injection at all. I think my stomach is less sensitive more towards the side than down the center around my belly button. Anywhere close to my belly button sends some really weird, painful tingles right into it. I apparently have a very sensitive belly button. (No really – I can’t even really clean it without having weird painful twitches.)

I don’t know if it’s dinner or stress or the stims, but tonight I’m not feeling good… I’m sitting/laying in bed, and my stomach and my lower back are both aching. Doesn’t matter how I sit, it hurts.

AF is all but over… just spotting now.

Remember me mentioning that vanilla chai soy protein drink I bought last time I went grocery shopping? It is the best shit ever. I really expected it to taste nasty, but it tastes just like my chai tea drink, but cold and with a hint of vanilla. I’m only having a glass a day, but it’s good stuff. (The Ensure protein milkshakes, on the other hand, really DO taste like shit. Gag. And the ingredients list looks nasty too!)

I had one White Russian today when we stopped by the club (on the military base) on our way home. I got really quite tipsy from just that one drink, it was fabulous. They didn’t have normal vodka so they made it with vanilla vodka (did I mention how much I love vanilla?) and they didn’t have milk so they used half-and-half, which made it taste totally good and be totally bad for my hips all at the same time. Den would have bought me two but one was too many calories. But oh were they GOOD calories.

Now I think I really need some sleep, between the one drink and the pissed-offedness I’m exhausted.
