~Death Do Us Part~

I am annoyed to say the least.

My dog got sick on one of my blankets...so after shoving him outside and mopping up the majority of the mess I hurriedly threw it in the washer, not wanting to touch it too much. My mistake. My son peered into the washer when the cycle ended and said "Mommy, look!".  So I went over to see what was so important.

My fucking iPod Touch was sitting at the bottom of the washer. 

Holy hell my heart sank and I busted into tears. Then of course I shoved it into a bed of Uncle Ben's rice (where it still lays) in the hopes that maybe, just maybe I can save it. And I was a bitch the rest of the day of course, because I was feeling sorry for myself...and I still am. 

But damn was I mad at that dog! I know, he was sick....he threw up....not his fault....but I am so frustrated right now. And yes I have forgiven him. In fact he is right now, laying and snoring on the exact blanket that caused all the commotion. He is just a dog. Dogs vomit. Oh well. 

But. 

More like it is my fault for being so preoccupied lately. My anxiety blows, my son has a cold, in general I completely despise January in Chicago, and I just haven't been sleeping all that well. So I didn't shake out the blanket before I shoved it in the washer like I usually do. Well, that and I didn't want yucky shit all over my hands. 

But oh my god I am soooooooo fucking pissed at myself right now for being so stupid!!!! 

I am NOT going to cry, I am NOT going to cry, I am NOT going to cry.

Fuck it. I'm going to cry.

I love technology. When it works right (looking at YOU Nokia Astound!!) and doesn't cost so damn much (looking at almost EVERYTHING decent out there) things like that are just awesome to own, to enjoy, to love, to have, to hold, to...

(I sound like I am marrying it)

So...it is in death we probably part, Mr. iPod Touch. I have loved you for years and now you are just gone. And I have a hole in my heart (and life) that no one else can fill. No more can I access 1000 songs I can't really stand and watch endless Facebook feeds while my son wants to watch a crappy show. I am hoping beyond all hope I can save you....however there was so much water involved and even a cup of bleach, so I think that all this is in vain. 

Now when is Apple going to come out with a waterproof version?

See ya.

Your posting is wonderfully written, Ms. Vanessa Sue. ALL your recent postings are wonderfully written.

I'm glad you got over your anger at the dog. I hope by now you've also gotten over your anger at yourself. After all, you're human. Just like the rest of us.

If you think about it, you'll conclude it was neither the dog's nor your fault. There wouldn't be a problem at all if your IPod Touch were waterproof (as you suggested).

That makes it Apple's fault. (grins)
