Hilarious. Such a good kid.

My boss ordered me lunch, which I thought would be a tiny victory. But apparently the lunch place read her special instructions indicating “no feta” and thought that meant “no kale or cabbage.” My fancy superfood salad is now D’s spinach salad with feta and other stuff.
Related tiny complaint: The rest of the world seems to think that noon is the only time to eat lunch, but I need to eat earlier.

We also eat earlier. When we have team things that do lunch at noon I try to snack in the morning and if I forget I’m staaaaaaaaaarving.
My tiny complaint: mosquito bites.

Three hour Zoom meeting about to start. This complaint is only tiny because it’s all about super nerdy fun data stuff, otherwise it would be a giant complaint.

I am out of good hot sauce, and now I have to use up the crappy one that I pushed to the back of the fridge.
My tiny complaints have all been about food lately.

I keep thinking it’s Wednesday. It’s not. I have multiple devices that tell me what day it is and I still can’t get it right.

A super simple work thing doesn’t want to work for me today (technical glitch happening). All of the rest of the stuff I need to do is really complex, time consuming, and/or is mired in corporate politics. Yuck. I really need the mental win of checking something off my damn list! I am getting to my breaking point with too many balls in the air. (Cue tiny violin).

It got giant very quickly. A whole lot of noise and very little signal.
TV(?): it ended ten minutes early.

Not sleeping last night = HANGRY today. So so hangry.
Sigh. 1 more hour and then I can log off and cook.

Also, when I heated up my lunch (which left me still HANGRY after), apparently the tupperware had a hole in the bottom. Which was not apparent when I took the container out of the freezer. Ended up with curry sauce alllll over the microwave.

Little dude was out for a walk and came across a friendly huge orange tomcat. He had a collar and an ear tattoo. Little dude decided the cat must be lost and so brought him home. My poor little guy, who is 60 lbs soaking wet, dragged a huge cat, kicking and screaming, for 5 city blocks. Kiddo was sobbing the whole way.
That cat was MAD. I wrestled him into the carrier and drove him home. Once I released him he spent ten minutes getting pets and purring. He’s a lovely guy when not being abducted and imprisoned.
Little dude is exhausted and emotionally drained. Fortunately we got home right as the giant soft pretzels came out of the oven. Carbs will fix him.

Bigger kid made us a giant pot of chili! Unfortunately he used cayenne instead of regular chili powder and it’s inedible to normal humans.
We are having cheese sandwiches for dinner.

A neighbour has a wood heater. I know this because my house is full of smoke and it’s actually worse than the bushfires over summer, more concentrated in the really gross sickening bit of the smoke.

I have a missing-in-action jewelry supply order. I checked tracking today and it said “delivery failure, addressee unknown.” I checked my order confirmation - correct address. I checked the ship notice - like, not even CLOSE to correct address. Well, it was the right street. But the number was not even close. What the fuck?
I’m crabby today but I think I managed to write a very polite “you fucked up, please fix” email to the company. I assume my order is getting returned to them. In Canada. Sigh. Good thing this is nothing I need urgently for an order, just more rainbow rings because Pride’s coming and I’m hoping to sell some jewelry.

I’m watching everyone cooking and baking up a storm during quarantine. Meanwhile, I just ate a dinner that consisted only of smearing herby cream cheese on triscuits. My dessert will be a glass of chocolate milk.
(I promise I ate a vegetable with lunch)

My lunch was a Vegemite sandwich and several chocolate biscuits. (Not a complaint, it was delicious).

Our previous record high grocery spend was X. Just got a text that Mr. Meer spent 2X at the store (it was a hellaciously long list and we haven’t been shopping in two weeks). I’m going to go breathe in a paper bag so I can be calm when he comes home with a scarcity freak out bubbling inside. deep breaths

I placed an order to Home Depot on Monday for shelving supplies totalling $70.21. I need to put these shelves up before bringing the cats home (finally!) on Saturday, or else my houseplants are in mortal peril.
I still have no call/email/text that the order has been fulfilled (by items in stock at the store, not ship-to-store) and the site says “ready Monday” but the green bar is filled only halfway between “order placed” and “ready for pickup” and I know that things are banana pancakes but this is mildly upsetting.
ETA: the upside is that my new spider plant babies and my prayer plant aren’t toxic to cats. The downside is that Karma will annihilate them.
