Tiny Complaints

The earpiece snapped off my favorite pair of reading glasses - like, broken plastic, not just missing screw.

And that style is discontinued. :sob:

Terrible period cramps today, despite the fact that I had an ablation and therefore don’t even get a period.

(my husband is fretting that the symptoms seem to match when he gets a kidney stone, but I am 99.9% positive it’s cramps)

Dropped an entire eggshell into a mixing bowl (mixer sadly still on high) full of creamed butter and sugar right after thinking to myself “I know I should crack this into a separate bowl first… but it’s ok I never drop shells” :unamused:

Did you dig out the eggshell, or toss it all?

I dug out what I think was most of it, but I couldn’t be sure and I was making cookies for gifts so I tossed it all :sob: a pound of butter! In this economy!

The 25th falls on a Wednesday, and I just found out that it’s on a Wednesday and it’s Mr. Meer’s only official day off work. We’re gonna have a lot of driving within one week just to bounce back home before going to see a different set of relatives the next weekend.

Oh noooooo he couldn’t take any PTO?

Short answer, kinda yes.

Long answer, he’s a contractor and the org he is contracted out to has a lot of days off so even on the days he’s “working” there might not be work to do anyway so it would be unpaid time (I think he’s still in the hole on PTO from our trip to England this summer). Inconvenient but not a problem.

B2 has been getting sealant put on his teeth. I’ve witnessed it. It’s fine! Little brush brush the teeth, a thick paint. Magic light, done!

So they convinced me to do mine while he watched TV. I was a bit worried about him but said okay. Complaint incoming!

Then they ask if numbing is okay, so I say yes, confused. Then there is a drill… and eventually I’m wondering if this is a trick name for a filling because it is NOT what B2 did.

Next TC. I said my bite felt fine and now I think it does not

I was waiting for the outcome I had - which was ‘sealant tickled my throat and I threw up all over the dentist and hygienist and made the entire process moot’.

I’m sorry they did not provide enough information for you to give informed consent.

one dentist asked me to stop coming in the morning because he said gag reflexes calm down later in the day. But going to the dentist later in the day is never good for my calendar.

I baked cookies this morning to take to the senior center - then I forgot them. I will run back home to get them, but geez.

Woke up sick enough that I won’t go to Interstellar and subject the people to my cough, but not sick enough to want to use a sick day at work.

I accidentally took the tupperware with the week-old dinner that I was going to throw away because it didn’t agree with me instead of the tupperware with my lunch, and I didn’t realize until just before a meeting so I can’t go get something else until like 3

I bought new underwear that I was sure had cotton content in them based on previous research. ripped all the tags off, put a pair on and they are 95% nylon, no cotton at all. thankfully it was only to two pairs to test them out and they are cute but not every day pairs. I’m so annoyed at myself for not double checking!! I just really love cotton underwear :sweat_smile:
