I got my first paycheck from my second job and I am THRILLED! It’s only for one and a half days and it’s way more than I was expecting. I knew I was stressed about money, but had no idea how much, I feel so much lighter today.
TR ❤️ It’s not easy to even think about this, let alone post about it. You deserve to feel your best. Reach out to your EAP, it sounds like a good first step.
thebreakfastclub , you need popcorn, and a really good exit song, even better than "nah nah nah, hey hey hey goodbye!" ETA: Maybe "Yes, I can't wait to forget about you" instead of "Don't you forget about me", lol
Also this completely unhinged, terrible excuse for a writer blogger in my general area just got arrested, and I can't lie I watched every single news story last night. I'm still not 1000% sure what they're even charged with, but I joked everyone should gamble how long it will take them to get re-arrested for breaking the terms of being out on bail? however they're currently free.
I know who you are talking about and I was thrilled watching the news. He wrote incredibly nasty things about a CHILD at our high school, it got picked up by Fox News and various other gross right wing media outlets. With her full name etc. I detest that guy.
I know you were all waiting for the exciting, breaking dryer update but it turns out the dryer guy didn’t know what was wrong either. He said the power seems fine so that’s something but there were some error codes that he reset and said that might help? Everything else looked fine apparently and he doesn’t know why there was an error codes to begin.
He said if it keeps happening to not call him and just get a new dryer. 😢
At four my kid would have preferred doctor things like a medical bag, stethoscope, and otoscope over a briefcase, paper and calculator.
He already has a couple of dr kits, so I was looking for something else, but similar.
Have you looked at the Kiwi Crate vet kit? We bought it separate, it wasn’t one of the monthly random ones. It was a fun addition to the doctor kits we already had
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus
I woke to pee at 3:30am. Usually I go back to sleep. Today I laid awake and thought about work stuff I couldn't take care of until I was actually at work. I finally got up at 5:30am. I am dragging now. So tired.
I’ve been using a cracked blender for weeks hoping I can make it till Christmas. It’s getting really messy though
Mine is an Oster, it was the bottom plastic bit that screws on, and a replacement was only $8!
That’s awesome! The entire pitcher of mine is totally cracked. Looks like I could replace that for $40. But the whole thing is probably 15 years old so I don’t know if it’s better to just replace it all…
DS1 has been recommended for the gifted art program and so we have been trying to get him to draw nightly to get his portfolio ready. Meanwhile ds2 (6) has also been drawing with us and he is so talented it’s hard not to compare the two (I don’t, at least out loud). DS1 is stuck in this loop of drawing manga or doodles, both of which won’t be accepted at portfolio presentation.
followyourarrow, Instead of a play kit, I bought my kid a real stethoscope. He was obsessed with my BIL's when we'd visit them and BIL suggested it. You can find them online for starting around $20-30. It was a hit. He like playing with a BP cuff as well. You could even get him a cheapie pulse ox.
Working from home today thank goodness. Everyone else is at school or work. I have someone coming in a half hour to check out the sink hole that has developed in our front yard. Good times.
I also have a really annoying project at work to take care of, but then I am going to go through some magazines my MIL gave me and make a collage so I'm pretty jazzed about that. Then bring on the weekend!

Someone I used to work with got sucked in to the very bottom of a loooong, poorly written article because they commented about gender (there are more than 2 genders) on a FB post of the person in the article. The douche blogger put a picture of their FB profile, including where they worked (a state job) and so on. Thankfully their boss was very understanding and was like yeah that's a sh!t rag and you did nothing wrong. Of course the person's comments on FB had nothing to do with the article itself, and thankfully was super hard to find, but like get a life dood. I really hope they go to jail and stay off the g-d internet.
I also don't trust people who use that as a news source. I don't care if a teacher from your high school is in real trouble, turn on channel 5!
I am out at 2pm today and I'm off tomorrow. We are flying to Santa Ana tonight for a memorial service for my favorite aunt on Saturday. We decided to sneak in a trip to CA Adventure which is why we're leaving a day early. But I had to keep it hush so I could use bereavement leave instead of PTO.
The last time I did Soarin', masks were still mandated on indoor rides. I'm sure you can imagine how a mask would dampen the enjoyment of that particular ride! I'm really looking forward to smelling all the smells. Have not been able to get any reservations for World of Color, and I've been checking daily for about 3 weeks.
You can't get WOC reservations in advance, you have to join the virtual queue beginning at noon on the day you are there. You have to be in the park to be able to enter the queue. We had our phones ready right at noon and were able to enter the queue pretty easily. The DL website has more info.
Sorry, I meant reservations for the Dessert Party, or Lamplight Lounge, or any place serves food at the same time. We still did not find anything close by, but we did get to see WOC
