A nonprofit group that is associated with my workplace is made up of very nice volunteers but they are really not good at 1. making decisions, 2. organizing things, or 3. taking ownership of their work. So I end up doing way more than I should for this organization while still trying to maintain some semblance of separation. And I just had a conversation with a vendor who doesn’t like how Nonprofit Group is doing something and I kept trying to explain that it is not Workplace Event it is Nonprofit Group Event and to TALK TO THEM. And none of this is objectively that annoying or unusual but apparently I’m in a grumpy frame of mind today and it’s getting on my last nerve.
I was supposed to get my IUD replaced this week; my cervix thought otherwise. Now I’m laid up with cramps on the couch anyway, without the benefit of a long-term hands-off birth control method for my trouble
And now my sinuses are telling me that I seem to be catching Kiddo’s cold. Dislike.
As a Friends of the Library board member I had a temporary heart attack thinking this was us and then remembered you’re in the Midwest. Phew! But having met some of the other Friends groups from the area, I can picture this all too clearly and understand your annoyance.
I added lemon to a tea that made it REAL WEIRD.
Something is screwed up with my library card account, and I can’t put books on hold or download audiobooks. How am I supposed to prepare for spooky season under these conditions?!
Life altering tragedy right there. I hope they fix it soon!
Car is in the shop again it doesn’t bother me but it makes dh crazy even if I take care of all of it. Booooooooo. Fingers crossed he’s minimally agitated.
ETA: I was too negative! He is handling it really well, says he is super relaxed because I handled it last time and will again this time. YAY!!!
My buttcheek has a muscle twitch and it will not stop and it’s very annoying.
Not tiny: Jane Fonda has cancer.
We hates it.
There’s a neighbor (I think it’s the asshole party neighbor) whose landscapers come at like 8am on Saturday mornings and use leaf blowers for like an hour. I hate him for so many reasons.
It just occurred to me that he’s probably not here when he asks them to come! Someone said he’s a celebrity plastic surgeon so he’s probably lounging in his apartment in California right now
Ughhhh. I rented a car for us for two weeks because I have allll the medical appointments and our car is in the shop. DH gets up super early and takes two busses to the car rental place and they tell them they have no cars, and to try the airport, and then walk out of the room. This f*cking city. It is…what I can only call a very low conscientiousness place. Now I have to wait three days to hear back from Expedia about a refund. I guess I will take lyft/uber which is also spotty here because if I book directly through another car place I have no confidence they will have cars either. Now DH is peak stressed out meanwhile I was up half the night with a migraine so I’m like, running emotional support and physical support on high and it’s…a lot. Also my leg and back and stuff are not great at the moment either, so it’s like, I’m just exhausted.
My instant shifting gears super confuses him and it’s so hard to explain gahhhhhh. I get why he is so pissed off and I feel like he wants me to be pissed off too but like, I literally cannot operate that way with the conditions of my life. It’s not possible, so then I seem like I’m fine with things when I’m not. Like yeah it sucks but I just keep moving and switch tactics without thinking much about it, that’s my MO.
Oh no! Are taxis more reliable than Uber/Lyft?
Ugh this is a lot. That is terrible about the car, I feel like rental cars are always such a fiasco! I hope you are able to get all of the lyft/ubers you need.
I totally get what you mean with switching gears. Like you literally cannot waste energy on being mad, you just have to find another way to make things happen. I can see how that would be frustrating with another person who processes things differently. And it can be impossible to explain, too because I think some people just need to be mad/frustrated for a while before they can move forward. I’m sorry! I hope you can get some emotional/physical rest soon
He’s not in California. The landscapers were part of the party prep because he has a party happening now. They’d better wrap it up before I go to bed.
Huh. Jane Fonda might be my grandfather.
I wondered why she wasn’t racking up new arrests. I dislike this reason
I just threw away 24 banana oatmeal muffins. There was absolutely no flavor and they were dry. Yuck.
Oh dang, thats what custard is for!
Was so excited to sit and read during tot nap, then remembered I pretty badly need to go to the grocery store and that has to happen today. Ughhh.
