Do you think maybe she's just at her limit for the week? You guys did just take a major road trip, she's adjusting to being back in your regular house, you didn't feed her dinner last night - she's probably all mixed up and a vet visit may have just pushed her over the edge.
That sounded more accusatory than I meant it, lol. You aren't doing anything wrong! But maybe next trip will be easier because she'll be back into her normal routine.
No, I know what you mean. And that might be it, I did think of that. I just really needed to get this done this week because she was overdue from being gone all summer.
Her nails are probably extra long in part because she didn’t walk on pavement all summer. Walking on concrete helps wear them down, so she had like 3 months of growth. Hopefully with regular walks at home she won’t need a trim for awhile.
I posted to my neighborhood FB garage sale site with some random school supplies (couple of 3-ring binders, a notebook, some folders) and someone wants them for church outreach. There are, like, 2 churches in the area I'd be comfortable supporting in any way so now I'm annoyed because I don't feel like I can be choosy. Anyone taking them could be donating them to some shitty church anyway so I guess I'd never know where they'd be going.

I totally understand. I donated a lot of my old baby things to my mom’s friend’s daughter who was surprise pregnant with her 3rd and was tight in money. Then I learned she was a super trumper and I was so mad I gave her free shit. Lol. I told my mom never again.

We just switched phones, well DH I'm waiting for a case before I switch over, but yeah you log in to a gmail (that I never use) and bam you're contacts transfer over. I was trying to hang on to avoid paying a ton for a new phone and just keep my old one, but DH said this new one charges faster, and the battery lasts longer/less charging so hopefully less charging port breaking issues.
If you ever watched "You" you find out technology is even creepier than that, and I really hope some of it was blown out of proportion to make the show dramatic.
I just did a big Target order of random crap/school supplies and decided to try wedge sneakers again. I tried on a pair last year and couldn't commit, but here I am trying them again.
I ordered my kid's shoes online from Kohl's and they came with a sensor tag attached. I'm way more annoyed about it than I should be.
No I would lose it. Having to go back to a store in non-pandemic times because they forgot to take them off in store makes me lose my mind. Having to make a separate trip to the store when I'm trying to avoid exposure is crazy. I know I'm being a Karen, they're super busy at the warehouse because everyone's ordering online, but shouldn't that be removed before it leaves for shipping?

I wonder if you call ahead, if they can send someone out to the curbside spot to retrieve the shoes, take them inside to remove the tag, and bring them back out to you (along with some kind of coupon for the mega-inconvenience of you having to come out to the store).
My dog used to be the same way about nail trims. The vet tech would take him in the back and have multiple people hold him, and I could hear him screaming and snarling, and it took a long time. We changed vets, and nail trims are a totally different experience at the new vet's office. It's quick and he doesn't fight nearly as much (he still doesn't love it) and doesn't seem upset afterward. All that to say, it's not necessarily the dog that's the problem. If you dog has vet anxiety, you could try getting her nails trimmed at a groomer instead of the vet's office.
Yeah, she used to be fine getting them at daycare, but the last time they tried (months ago) they said she wouldn't let them and they weren't going to restrain her. So I started having the vet do it. I'm sure she struggled, but they never said anything like today. I may have to try an actual groomer.
I was going to suggest groomer as well. Saying this as someone who worked in the vet field, I think sometimes groomers have different tricks up their sleeves that pets respond better to.
My friend has a primary Spanish speaking nanny and friend came home to find her drinking a white claw. She had to wait for her H to talk to her, she thought it was like a la croix, which is what we figured. I can’t stop laughing. She’s been with them for 2yrs, so I don’t know why my friend didn’t just try to talk to her, she was scared. I was like we know this woman, she is not purposefully drinking while watching your kids. Lol.
This happened to a grandma at my kids’ school, lol. She brought in a white claw for her lunch with her grandkid and the school had to have a hilariously awkward conversation.

I ordered our Christmas tree for this year. Lol. They’re a small local company that we’ve been using for years so I want to make sure they’re supported.

My mom is well enough to go to rehab and we will take it from there. They said it was pretty touch and go this weekend but she has been doing PT and OT at the hospital and seems stable for now. I’ll take it.
We had a successful eye appointment. It seemed very safe.
We got the puppy! She is tiny and adorable. Trying to post a pic here
I terminated one of my direct reports so her team is reporting to me. One of the team members is so freaking annoying. He complains about everything and his voice is so freaking loud. Is there a tactful way to tell him to keep his voice down? Closing either door isn’t an option.
We have a woman like that in my office. We nicknamed her capslock, since everything has to be done at max volume. We tried tactfully asking her to be quieter and we mentioned it to her supervisor but got nowhere. Eventually the majority of us got noise-canceling headphones.

this is funny!
My daughter put Bud Lite Limes in a picnic bag once we were taking to the park- she thought they were Sprites. Luckily I caught it before we left!

We had family friends growing up who had 2 daughters and one night the Dad opened the fridge and asked "Who keeps drinking half a beer and putting it back in here?" and the 8 year old said "That's me, I can't finish a whole one." Cue discussion about adult only drinks. This was the 80s and she and her older sister were latchkey kids. She had always seen the Dad with a beer after a hard day at work and she thought that's what she ought to do after a hard day of 2nd grade.

DH says he would light his dad's cigarettes on the stove, and then walk down to the corner store to buy butts for his parents with a note from them. Thankfully they apparently didn't smoke them (I'm sure dad would have lost it), but I guess if you saved up enough money you probably could have forged a note and then smoked them yourself.
Then in the 90's you had to have a parent with you to buy an explicit CD or tape. Allegedly you could have a note from your parents saying it was ok to buy, but we lived too far away to test said rumor.
