Tiny Complaints

My computer has bricked itself twice in two days. One of those was probably my fault. The other was not.

I have never had the experience of my eyelashes freezing together.

I got up early to take Marmalade to the airport and I look and feel like a wreck. He said “your face looks different this morning” and I asked him to tell me honestly about how I look and he wouldn’t. But I know. I look old and puffy today.

I remember at Disneyland in 2005 I did this magic mirror thing and it showed me what I was going to look like in my 40’s. My cheeks were heavier and it’s like gravity was pulling my face down. That’s what I’m starting to look like these days, and they were right.

My cat seems to time his crazy zoomies period to when I am on work calls.

Solidarity. I feel like my entire face is sliding toward my knees. :frowning:

How can someone so small be so loud??

Got to work and discovered my lunch tupperware was leaking into my lunch bag. Chili now all over my unlaunderable bag (it’s one of those plasticky reusable bags).

Then I went to the ladies’ room and BAM, surprise unscheduled period. I’m on the pill, this isn’t supposed to happen.

Today’s fired.

I put in my maintenance requests using the new system last night. Most important one is the clogged kitchen sink with the sewage smell. I’ve been wearing clothes so they can fix it.

I JUST got emails letting me know that the office bitches have read them.

The positive - they can’t delete them like they used to with paper requests

  • hopefully I don’t have to SEE the office bitches so they can’t make me cry.

But I feel like my odds of a working sink before lunch are now zero, and before bed are not high. Especially if the office bitches rank the requests instead of the lovely maintenance team.

Other positive - instead of the old system where an office bitch came over and claimed I was imagining the ants, under the new system it looks like ants get promoted straight to “needs contractor” status.

I’m between important appointments and have important errands but I’m too dizzy and nauseated to function. I tried to eat and threw up. I have to get through one more appointment then get home. I can do it. Hopefully without puking.

Bigger kid and I and several people we know all have the same symptoms. This is officially a stomach flu and not just a bad health day.
Bollocks.

I went to the Y to sign up for a free pass specifically to try Strong by Zumba tonight and the class was cancelled. Tiny victory is they will extend the pass so I can do it next Wednesday because I can’t make any of the other time slots in a week.

I love checklists.

Today has reminded me that part of why I love checklists is that I function so much better with checklists.

(today involved some stuff that should have had checklists)

(dammit today)

I had to cancel pom squad class tonight because of my stupid job.

My cats were fighting tonight. That’s rare, but when it happens it’s upsetting. Boy Kitty was yowling. Girl Kitty was on her back smacking him in the face. :frowning: They’re usually so in love with each other, but I guess all siblings fight sometimes.

Howie got a wedding invite from a cousin addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Howie Lastname”

  1. We are not married
  2. Even if this cousin forgot that Howie and I aren’t married, we exchange Christmas cards and are friends on social media and cousin could easily see that Howie and I don’t share a last name
  3. I hate the custom of using the husband’s first name to refer to the wife. I realize that’s the traditional etiquette, but barf.

It could be worse. A friend who is a medical doctor shared a Christmas card that she got from a relative addressed to Dr. and Mrs. HisFirstName Lastname.

Wait, so your friend got his first and last name and he got her doctor signifier?!
Also I’m really sorry about the patriarchy. It sux.

Also chiming in to complain about the patriarchy. I got a small-but-stressful reminder of it on my walk home from the gym tonight.

I’d decline the invitation upon principle.
