Blackheart. My usual is Captain Morgan.
This month I did not have my normal burst of “omg everything needs to be spotlessly clean and organized” energy that I always get when I am PMSing. This monthly 48-72 hour block of cleaning energy is literally the only reason my house stays clean/organized for the rest of the month…I fear for what 2 months straight of half assed cleaning is going to turn into

It was much too small to begin with. Do they have a bathtub full of the stuff you can order?

This is why you are a very smart woman, Smacky.
I do fear how much a bathtub sized container would cost, considering how much I paid for such a small one.

Also difficult to keep frozen.

It’s still dark out and I have to get out of bed for a meeting.

I got delivery notice texts for my order of KN95 masks and my order of fancy pretty Halloween-fabric cloth masks late last night. Neither package is actually here. Now I have to file claims with USPS, who, based on past experience, will tell me to pound sand because the tracking says “delivered.”
Boyfriend thinks I should demand refunds of the sellers, who are small businesses. I said, “oh, you mean like how I keep having to give out refunds because something doesn’t arrive? Why on earth would I put a small seller through that when it’s not their fault?” I mean, if it’s Walmart or Amazon (literally Amazon, not an individual seller), then sure, they can eat the loss.

That sounds super wrong. I just had similar happen with my contact lenses and fortunately they were able to fix it, but it was SUPER trippy and annoying until they did. I hope it’s an easy fix.

My rain barrel is finally full and it’s supposed to snow Friday, so I don’t have anything to water with it and I need to dump it soon.

I am in early to mid recovery from an eating disorder but need to know my weight, and whether it has stabilized after the “refeeding” stage, for another medical issue (foot problems) to know what my treatment options are.

That sounds really hard. I wish you the best in navigating that. It’s so unfair that information needed to address health in one area can be harmful in another area.

That really sucks. Do you yourself need to know? Or could you do a blind weigh-in and just have that info go directly to your doctor who would then give you treatment options without mentioning the number?

It is snowing. Again.

It’s the whether it’s stable or not that complicates things. So (I think) I need to check my weight more frequently than I would want to drive way out to my PCP’s office to get a blind weight done.

Could you have a family member or bubble friend be the info keeper? I know a lot of women in pregnancy opt to face away from the scale (tracking can be important for things like preE onset if you’re high risk, but obviously it can be very triggering) and have someone else (partner or doctor) track the numbers instead.

That might work

I’ve already weighed myself once, though, so the number is in my head. I‘ll have to ponder - and include my therapist - if continuing to know at this point would be less crazy-making than knowing one number but then hiding the rest from myself. My instinct is that, at this point, remaining in control of it will be better

Sunday night in our weekly call I told my mom about how the company Mr. Meer and I work for is in the process of being acquired. Within twelve hours she had sent three texts with different ideas to “help” us, I finally replied back with “We’re aware of our options and are taking everything into consideration” which mean “Fucking calm down already please”. Today she sent an email strongly encouraging us to be applying for jobs (duh, but she doesn’t know that’s what we’ve been doing anyway) but also here’s a link to a job with [company in city nearer her] and she’s going to reach out to her friend who works in a [local to her branch of that company].
On the one hand I want her to knock it off and not make us her “project” that she spends all her time working on and thinking about, on the other hand I want to say “What could it hurt?” but on the other other hand last time I said “What could it hurt?” about her wanting to “help” it turned into months of her getting the bit between her teeth and me finally having to be really really blunt to tell her to stop. She’s coming from a place of love but omfg.

That’s so frustrating. My mom and my partner’s stepdad will still frequently send me job listings that are completely impractical. It feels kind of like receiving a horse themed gift after you haven’t been interested since you were 13. Fortunately their “help” always ends there.
