Nevermind we don’t count as properly isolating, Ponder went into a store today and I don’t know how well we’ve kept distance on recent Physical Distance Visits from family.
My complaint is that I STILL feel physically exhausted. It’s been going on almost a week. I need to order iron supplements.
Oh. I get what they’re trying to do but fuck them and their good intentions. I’m sorry it’s adding to your stress.
Downstairs neighbor plays his TV loud enough for me to hear it until at least 1 am most days, and then he snores loud enough for me to hear in the morning. It’s an old building, and a very tiny complaint.
On the upside, those are the only noises I hear from downstairs. No yelling, no banging, nothing else.
So I’ve started playing music in my apartment pretty regularly.
This was always something I was secretly glad to discover, even when the timing bugged my routine, because if I never heard anything I couldn’t tell if it was because the building was miraculously soundproof or if my neighbors were just silent and my every move annoyed them 
Yay for music though!!
OH
I did not think of it that way at all haha. Good point. I do wonder about my neighbor nextdoor, the most sound I hear is the plumbing. We exchanged numbers a couple weeks ago and agreed to let each other know of we bother the other - I think we’re both just mostly quiet people haha.
I am having feelings about an ex person that decided to contact me yesterday and I didn’t ask for the contact, but now I have to sit with the complicated feelings that have come from it and it SUCKS.
I’ve had this happen in the last couple months too. It’s complex and weird and frustrating.
I’m sorry. Sending you tequila and venting chat and hugs and a long emo bike ride.
I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this too. I am not a “communicate with exes” type of person so I am very frustrated. Also my back chose this time to freak out (no wonder, emotional stress tends to do that) so I had to go on an emo walk instead…haha. Now I just have to wait until there is not an AM next to the time of day, and then I can have tequila. Ha!
It’s 1:30pm here, have at it! haha!
I really, really, really need to clean out the fridge.
Maybe move? Or buy a new fridge?
I think the cashews in my cupboard are rancid 
I ate too many* shortbread cookies and now I feel sick.
*All of them. I ate all of them.
I didn’t measure the red curry paste in my soup yesterday and now it is pretttttty spicy 
Posted a bunch of stuff to my local buy nothing group and told folks to pick a number (1-20) for fairness’ sake, only one of the five people who’ve responded have 
I like that method because it’s not based on whomever is on Facebook the most and so more folks have an opportunity to acquire something they want/need, and also doesn’t require me to respond and make arrangements immediately.
But y’all gotta follow the rules.
Today my mattress and couch arrive. Living without a mattress has screwed up my body pretty badly and I am soooo excited to sleep in a real bed again. It’s been three weeks.
YES. This sounds like a Tony Victor.
I’m annoyed that my 401k contributions increment by whole percentage points only. I wish I could just specify a dollar amount per paycheck to contribute (ideal) or (less ideal) partial percentage points. This is the third time I’ve had to redo the math this year, this most recent time because of a reduction in pay. I’ll need to adjust my percentages twice because the whole percentage thing means I can’t contribute to the amount I want to. This is a tiny complaint, because I am grateful to still be able to afford 401k contributions at all!
Unclear communication. All telehealths having their copays waived is different from COVID-related telehealths having their copays waived. (Yay 'murica. Rah rah.)
Rhizomous creeping vines. I know there are tubers yet to be murdered.
