This week can suck it....

[doriswe]

Share your vents here (so I don't alone in my crankiness)

We spent 4 hours in the ER last night as DD has bilateral ovarian cysts. Not much they can do outside of pain meds. I asked that they not send her home with any narcotics and the doctor looked at me like I was nuts.

A coworker died totally unexpectedly and I'm going to the funeral today and it just feels weird. She was the kind of social worker everyone should strive to be. 61 years old and just didn't wake up one morning.

My knee hurts today and I don't have time for that nonsense.

Oh and a positive meth test for a client this morning that had been doing well.

I'm ready for a nap and a drink!

I'm so sorry doriswe. That's so much at once.


My crankiness is so much more minor. It's about the guy I had the third date with over the weekend and so many people telling me to give him another chance and talk to him instead of hearing what I was saying about my concerns. Not just here, some of my friends outside of here too.

The man put my feet on his nipples and I'm 100% not into anything involving my feet. Anyone who has ever told me they have a foot fetish I politely and respectfully decline. But it's seemed like "yeah, that could be concerning, that too, also that other thing, so just talk to him" instead of seeing 3+ flags waving around as a larger indicator. Like I should just settle because this one's been nice otherwise. Instead of having a place to process my disappointment and sort through my feelings. I also felt a bit invalidated by all the comments about people not wanting to sleep cuddling either. I didn't say what my preference was, but that the way he delivered his and handled it bothered me. Also, other people not wanting to cuddle doesn't change what my needs are (which are not to cuddle all damn night either). I know people are dealing with much worse right now, so it feels petty to even share this.

Oh, in work vents, one of my kids punched his teacher in the face and was suspended. I'm wondering how much longer until administration decides to ask his district to look for a new school placement.

Another one of my kiddos is leaving, moving out of state possibly this week and I'm sad about it.

[cuddlyevil]

Sorry doriswe and tiramisu.

I don't have any huge vents right now. I am just trying to figure out how to interpret something the guy I kinda have a crush on said a weekish ago. But I am also trying to not overthink.

I'm sorry tiramisu - I don't want you to feel invalidated, I didn't realize based on your post that something pretty clear happened to make you think it was a foot fetish and that those other things were very important to you to see flags in his behavior. I think you know yourself best and what's right and wrong for you. Everyone in the world can tell you what they think, but ultimately you know what you want/need and what feels right and what doesn't.

[doglove]

Hope she feels better doriswe.

I'm doing okay, no real vents or rants. I drank too much last night and felt crappy all night. I slept downstairs with Buddy and London and Buddy slept mostly through the night. We had to go out once so he could go to the bathroom, but no anxiety or panting really. He was rested this morning and we were able to get a good walk in.

I'm handing in my apartment keys tomorrow and want to do the final walk through with the property manager. She has not responded to any of my emails so I guess I plan to show up until someone pulls my old paperwork and goes through the apartment with me. The customer service there is awful. Can't wait to finally be done with that place.

I'm sorry you didn't feel validated tiramisu. I know it's important to feel "heard" by the people who matter in our lives.

doriswe, I hope DD feels better soon.

I don't really have any vents or rants today beyond the obvious.

I will say something I'm happy about is that I got my Christmas decorations mostly up last night. I need to finish decorating the tree still and I've got a few things here and there that I still need to get out but I'm mostly done. I LOVE Christmas decorations so this always makes me happy.

I'm sorry that you felt invalidated, tiramisu . I misunderstood your post--I thought you were asking for advice/opinions/experiences, vs. expressing that you saw red flags.
((doriswe))

I tried a new move on lyra last night that is very similar to one I have successfully done before, but I must have had my head out of alignment when I caught myself out of the drop because I felt everything in my neck crack, and I had an instant headache/neckache at the base of my skull. I've been icing it off and on since then. I hope it feels better soon.

[chalupa]

I'm sorry tiramisu. Good for you for knowing what you need.

doriswe I hope your DD is feeling better soon, and I'm so sorry about your coworker.

My only bitch is trivial in comparison - I am trying to squeeze an insane amount of work (Dec is our busiest month) into the next 5 days, because after that I am GONE FOR MY WEDDING. OMG you guys, it's next weekend!

[doglove]

Hope you feel better @ udscoobychick.

It has come so fast chalupa!!

[udscoobychick]

Eeeeeeek, that's exciting, chalupa!

[kaneen]

OMG chalupa, that is SO exciting! Please post pictures when you can. I'm sure it will be beautiful!

Feel better soon udscoobychick.

[bullygirl979]

doriswe, hugs lady. I'm sorry. And I hope DD feels better soon.

Speaking of feeling better soon...holy crow udscoobychick!! I hope you are on the mend, too.

I'm sorry, tiramisu. That is incredibly frustrating and feeling invalidated sucks.

[bullygirl979]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY, chalupa!!! I cannot believe it's time already!!! I cannot wait to see pictures!

kaneen, I'm with you! I love decorating for Christmas. I turn my tree on whenever I'm home.

[cuddlyevil]

Holy crap! It's practically here chalupa!!

[bullygirl979]

I'm tired from traveling for work and insane meetings. Plus, I found out we are doing big layoffs. I'm not affected, I'm just worried as things are already crazy here and I'm not sure how we are going to manage. We also just had a very tense meeting with my client so that was tiring. On the positive, I led the meeting, and I think I did a good job!

Do you want to talk that out? Or do you not think it would be helpful?

[cuddlyevil]

Eh, I think it's one I have to work through on my own. I am thinking that I am reading too much into it and trying to take it at face value. It's nothing bad or a red flag, just befuddled me a bit. Thanks for asking though

Time to ask him out so you don't have to worry about this kind of thing!

Heh, it's not that. I don't have his contact info though (that's being rectified next week).
