This is a whine.
* 6 wks w/o TV
* Bargaining trauma
* Teaberry whiny
* Report cards a dark cloud over my head
* Sense of isolation in the middle of it all
* Uncooperative OARS ... no real clue how to fix
* Deadlines looming
* Lack of summer plans
* Fortune spent on replacing 24+ year old appliances
* Various aches & pains
* Nonliteral June gloom

That's the current status here in my vicinity.
BLARG!
