Tiny Complaints

As I predicted, there’s absolutely no reason I needed to be at work today. I’d have gotten a lot more done from home, and o wouldn’t be bored right now. But we must office hour for appearance’s sake even though there’s absolutely no one to see…

People on the phone are very demanding today. And all I want to do is eat cookie dough but if I eat too much it will make me feel sick. And I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels in life right now.

It’s been really slow for a few weeks, and I’m starting to feel panicky about it. I know it’s like 90% just my catastrophizing brain and it will probably pick up soon (there is usually a winter slowdown), but knowing it doesn’t make me stop feeling panicky. It just makes me feel panicky and ridiculous.

I want ice cream and I don’t have any. I could get some, but then I’d probably eat it too fast and make myself feel not-great.

The airbnb is standing empty. Usually it’s booked solid. This is a terrible time of year for services.

Whenever I make burritos at home, I always overfill it and it turns into a messy disaster.

Scrolling through my Instagram - which is actually my cats’ Instagram and as such I have lots of other cat accounts and cat rescues on there - and front and center is video of a cat with a horribly mauled face. He had been abused. It was super gory. I cried. I can’t unsee this.

WHY WHY WHY. If you must show that, make your first image in the set something like “graphic image ahead” or something. Don’t surprise folks with gore!

ETA: My complaint. Baby slept fine. Went right back to sleep after each feed. My cough kept me up for an hour after every wakeup though. :woman_facepalming:

I stubbed my pinkie toe badly enough that it stud out at a right angle from my foot. I pushed it back into joint but it huuuurts and I have things to do but walking is unpleasant in the extreme.

I feel foggy and cold. I think I might be getting a cold. Damn it. I was sick just two weeks ago. Stupid ass acid reflux.

It might be broken. If that is the case, the treatment is to tape it to the adjacent toe. Not much else they can do. This is not a substitute for you seeing a med pro, but just an idea of what you can do now.

I know. I’ve broken it before. This time it seems worse, with pain radiating up the side of my foot. I will tape it and ice it and swear a lot when it hurts. Which is all the time.

I still have not been able to use my Starbucks gift card because of this stupid daily 9 a.m. meeting that I’m always rushing to because no matter how early I leave for work, the CTA eats up whatever time I have allotted.

And I can’t go at lunch because caffeine after noon = I will not sleep.
