Tiny Complaints

Oof. Any chance of being able to quickly divert to “Thanks for showing me how that works! Kthxbai” and then going somewhere else and doing it yourself? Hopefully before you’ve lost too much more of your own time and sanity?

My tiny complaint: At in a gym class I was one of the people who was able to do an exercise with weights (trainer told us all to do a thing with no weights, if your arms moved you weren’t allowed to do it with weights, my arms did not move so I grabbed a light weight). Apparently my right arm was carrying the load in the test, when I tried to do it with my left arm my shoulder collapsed and I dropped the weight on my head. My head is okay, my shoulder is still grumpy and sending stern “What did you do??” feelings.

(Tony victor, somehow no one saw this?)

I drank more coffee. I am more tired than before. Dear Caffeine, you’re doing it wrong.

I am at work, wearing a cardigan and drinking herbal tea, and my hands are still freezing. If it’s this cold in summer and then in winter it’s still as warm as it was last winter, I’m going to be really annoyed.

Lol nope! But every time they say that they aren’t sure it can do x and they are waiting to hear back from the developer, I google the answer and send the results and they don’t know how to apply it.

I have to go in for a mammogram in an hour.

And yesterday I went in for a pap smear! And a blood draw! I’m being so responsible and I hate it!!

I have to go to a meeting in 15 minutes and a multi-hour meeting this evening even though I just want to punch things and then go take a rage-nap.

Ouch! I hope it all goes well. But, ouch.

This sh**.

I might be coming down with a cold, which really Fs up my plans for the week.

LadyDuck · July 24, 2019, 1:29am

Here, have a gold star for being so responsible!

Thank you! I try to get as much of that stuff done and out of the way during summer since I’m off. It’s much harder to schedule during the school year.

My cat’s new food is causing atrocious stinky poops. So I have to scoop right away every time

I have a sunburn on my shoulders and I’m flying out tonight. I have to spend the day walking around Mexico city, taking crazily crowded metro, with my travel backpack putting it’s whole weight on my burn.

Bracken_Joy · July 24, 2019, 1:27pm

I woke up at 4:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep.

meerkat · July 24, 2019, 1:35pm

Me too! I hope Lil Pup lets you nap today.

Bracken_Joy · July 24, 2019, 1:41pm

Saaaaaaaame. At least SirB is in town and WFH (if nothing comes up), so I’ve got backup.

Any prospect of a nap for you? We can move to the tiny victory thread if we pull it off, haha!

Sprinklers did not run. This means that instead of finishing around 8am they will finish around noon (not ideal) because I have to run them manually. Booooo.

Possibly a car nap on my lunch break, but not likely. And then I have an extra long day because I’m taking kiddo to his last swim lesson of the season, so best case scenario I get to sweat my butt off on the pool deck for an hour, or worst case scenario we sit around waiting for the lightning to pass so he can maybe get some pool time then go home with a dry kid (which happened last week). That reminds me, I need to make sure my phone is charged this time.

I dreamt that Gillian Anderson was my housemate for a night in a lovely little cottage and it was all so wonderful-- and it was not real.
