One of my brothers fucked up, and as a result fucked up the wedding of other brother- which has already been fucked up twice before because of Covid. We’re hosting, whenever it does eventually happen. Just got off a call with tearful SIL to be. I’m really angry at the fuck-up brother right now. And I want SIL and other brother to be able to be excited about their wedding, and I’m not sure how.

I tried to donate blood today (made an appointment and everything), and my flow went from slow to stopped at 100 ml (too small to do anything with). I guess I’m bad at blood sharing.

One of my co-workers put on this informal coffee hour so all of us could meet in an friendly “informal” way. This was suggested by co-worker A. Co-worker B. decided to put it together. I objected to Coworker B in private because usually what these turn into is one or two of my co workers just taking up all the air in the room and talking about themselves and agendas.
I felt bad for voicing my concerns about the get together, but went anyways–I’ve since found out co-worker A was retiring and thought, “Hey, she probably wants to know since she’s leaving soon, etc.”
Well, Co-worker A didn’t even show up to the coffee meeting! Bleah. Co-worker C, one of the ones that loves to talk about himself came. I remember saying I had an accomplishment and then he went right into saying what he’s done right afterwards. Like wtf.
Anyways, I’m going to be the bigger person and send a compliment to Co-worker B and laud their accomplishments. Oh yeah and not going to any more optional coffee hours since they are a waste of my time. 
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I read a book and now I am tired.
My kid made a pulled pork and jam sandwich*
*this isn’t really a complaint. Or a victory. It’s a thing that happened and is funny and I wanted to share. He says it wasn’t nearly as bad as he expected. if he expected it to be bad why did he make it?

My mouse died. The one I use for work and for gaming. I don’t have a backup.

We have many backup mice (wired, USB). You need?

I appreciate the offer 
but I’ll be alright.
Same guild friend who sent me a headset (last month?) informed me that there is now a mouse on the way and would not take no for an answer. I made them promise to send me screenshots of their favorite outfit/armor on their game character, so I can send back an ink portrait.
I’ll let my supervisor know on Monday that the mouse is no longer working and get a replacement from work, and then I’ll look around for a more robust, long-term solution.
I think the biggest problem out of all of this is that the mouse I was using was a vertical, ergonomic design, and they’re a little on the spendier side.

I’ve been looking at these. Do you have a recommendation? Ergonomic sounds great but I have no idea how these things work in practice.

This is the one I had that decided to die. I’d been using it since last October I think. I’ll likely invest in a more expensive one.
It only took me a day or two to get used to, and I experienced significantly less wrist and hand pain than with a traditional mouse!

I dyed my hair and I don’t like how it came out. I miss my fucking hairstylist. I wish she would stop partying maskless so I’d feel safer going to her.

It is MAYBE going to snow a tiny bit in a week. Maybe. Weather underground is at 24% chance of precipitation for next Sunday/Monday.
There are like three new fires that have started in the mountains in the last week.

Not sure why I keep getting Medicare notices from my own insurance company. I am still in my 20s, thanks.
