I came home from work and burned my grilled cheese and fire alarms went off.
I might need to make hard decisions in the new year.
I have to interact with other humans way too often
I need nurturing TODAY and have no one to nurture me (today- overall I’m pretty spoilt)
I am confused and frustrated by the local community college’s website and enrollment process. If my pea brain can’t even figure out how to enroll, how can I possibly manage the actual education? (Side note: Apparently at some point I created an account there - but did not enroll or attend - before I changed my last name and my email address. Maybe I should just enroll under the wrong name, and change it later. Hmm.)
OH GOD there is more drama on my local Buy Nothing. It makes me want to quit altogether, but I still have a bunch of things I want to get rid of before next summer. I could just dump it all at the local thrift store, but my local thrift stores are mostly garbage and who knows what happens to that stuff once it is donated. I want to help my nicer, considerate neighbors, but some of the people in that group are, like, cuckoo.
HAHAHAHAHA someone just complained that NOT doing first come-first serve on BN is discriminatory. DISCRIMINATORY. Oh honey, no.
They are mad, I think, that some people do random draws and some people just pick a person, both of which are 100% allowed, because they seem to just hang out online all day and want a LOT. They claimed that this had recently changed (it has not and has always been this way as long as I have been a member (giver’s choice)).
DRAAAAAAAMMMMMAAAAAAA
Lol, WHY.
Oh my goodness. I have a good group but man I am glad not to be an admin anymore!
This morning on the train, a dad laughed at his young child and said she needed to do exercise as her gut was getting big. Then the whole family of 4 others laughed at her while she looked sad and said it wasn’t funny. She then turned away and was wiping her eyes, like she was crying. I wanted to pull her aside as they got off and tell her she was beautiful but the dad was about twice as big as me and had already complained very aggressively about everyone being on their “fucking phones” on the train (which included his wife and other daughter) so i didn’t know how he’d react if he saw me.
They should have people you can call once the holiday period is over to help with this. My MIL is such a person at my university. The admin, it is HARD.
Oh, one of the admins screenshotted (is that not a word? Anyway. English!) included a screen shot of the rules page that you literally have to read and accept when you join. But this person was still MAD. And then made a comment about how they still thought it should be FCFS. And another person answered with a sort of “I agree” kind of sentiment.
I almost responded “don’t let the door hit you on the way out”.
I didn’t. But OMG did I want to.
Occasionally I think to myself, “I should be a nice person and volunteer to admin.” And then I come to my senses. Because human beings as a group just… suck.
Hopefully the takeaway for everyone else is “don’t gift to those people” 
I mean, I won’t lie, I basically said (to myself) I guess I know who I will never give anything to ever again… 
ETA:
Oh! Oh! I forgot. One of the MAD people said something like, “it makes me want to start my own group.” It was THIS comment that made me literally say, in my brain, and possibly out loud, “don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Because, whaaaaat?
I am curious to see how long it will be until that particular person (and a few others) disappears from the group. Imagine living your life getting so worked up about things like this. Sheesh.
OK, I will do no more posting about BN drama. For NOWWWWW…
Truth. Trust me, I can’t always sort the layers, iPad I’m there full time.
Hahaha vent it out if you need to 
Whelp. They are gone. (The two people who were the primary instigators.) No idea if they were banned or if they rage quit, but now we can go back to being civil and calm. WHEW.
My everything hurts and it isn’t nap time.
I’ve been having trouble finding dried red lentils too! Is there a shortage?!
I don’t have the link handy, but apparently, it’s to do with tariffs due to the Trump administration. Lentils largely come from India, apparently, and are affected by the tariffs.
I did find big bags of them on Amazon, but ended up buying from Bob’s Red Mill’s site, so as to avoid supporting Amazon which is something of a resolution for me.
I’m in a crowded coffee shop and my book made me cry.
I had a super weird work interaction and I don’t know what it means.
We are going out to a drag queen NYE pizza party and I don’t know what to wear. Do I go for all out fabulousness because drag queens or for more comfortable attire because all you can pizza/apps buffet??
