I’m in a fight with whoever runs my local dog park’s Facebook page. There is no info on the parks and rec site and Google only turned up a link to an online form to fill out to get a code to get in the park.
I filled it all out yesterday but the requirements for the documentation was odd—three dogs’ rabies certificates and licenses had to be on one sheet, I had to write out the same info that was on the sheet multiple times for each dog. You’d likely need a printer or a scanner for some of it. It took me almost an hour.
Anyway, I was on Facebook and noticed my neighborhood group posted a link to the park’s Facebook page saying they updated the form. I checked it out and apparently there is a paper form you could fill out and you could present the documents in person.
I commented that it didn’t look like the online form was updated and that they should include that you can do it in person because right now it looks like if you can’t upload the documents, you can’t get the code.
I got a snotty response saying it was on the about section of the FB page and then I pointed out that not everyone is on Facebook or would assume that there is a Facebook page with the form because it is not linked on the parks and rec site or form for the park. We don’t check out books, pay the water bill, get dog licenses or fines on Facebook so why is the info about the paper form there and not on the city site like everything else?
Why are they arguing with me?? Telling me it’s a free park, I managed to do it so why am I complaining?
God forbid someone wants a public park be more accessible! I have never seen a dog in this park and really had to hunt down the the link for the online form. Now I know why! What a nut.
I thought I had decided that I wasn't going to focus on my weight anymore, just eat healthy and be happy with the body I have.
So I've been eating pretty healthy since Christmas. I don't drink alcohol or soda, very few processed foods, low dairy bc of lactose intolerance. I've actually been eating mostly vegetarian so veggie-heavy. I have somehow gained 5-7 pounds.
WTF. I guess this is middle age. But I am super pissed about it.

I have been a reading fiend this weekend. The weather has been super cold and crummy and we had no plans. I read an entire book yesterday and then downloaded another one this morning and already finished that one (by 3:00)! Now I’m in search of a third lol.
H is putting up a new ceiling fan in our guest room and ran into some issues so it’s taking awhile and I’ve been just sitting downstairs reading 😂 FWIW I did offer assistance but he said he didn’t need any so 🤷🏻♀️
I’m at a trampoline place with DD2 who is on the brink of mastering back handsprings and wants the longer tumble track our neighbor’s trampoline lacks. Exactly what I wanted to do on a Sunday after a bit of volunteer prep, working my real job for awhile, and then running ten miles 😵💫 but she is so excited and in the zone I am trying to be supportive.
5 hours on the tarmac, 4 hour flight, 2 hour drive back to my house and we made it home by 3am. Nightmare day, but I am so grateful to the two passenger pilots who stepped up to fly us home and the crew who had been on for forever. Who knows how long we would have been stuck there if they hadn’t?! The flight was full of kids and they were all so good! Our flight on the way to our destination had been cancelled and we had to recalculate everything and get driven to another airport an hour and a half from the original one (which was already two hours from our our house!). That delayed our arrival by 5 hours. Definitely never want to travel again.
I’m shocked they left you on the plane that long! Did they just keep thinking it would be 20 minutes then go? What about food? And the bathroom? You’d think you would have all been better off waiting in the airport.

While I was mulching I edged with an electric edger and a rock flew into our storm door and shattered it. Then I can I came inside to eat lunch and spilled pickle juice all over my crotch.

I just went to a great high school production of Spamalot! They were all so talented and it was so nice to spend a couple of hours laughing. My son is a big fan of The Holy Grail. His music teacher told the class how wonderful it was when she saw it last weekend so we decided to go. I love the whole theater world word of mouth. I wish it was easier to find out about high school shows because there has been a bunch over the years that I would have taken my son to see, but I didn't find out about until it was too late.

Ohh, what books did you read?
I've read 5 in the last week! I'd recommend all of them if you like suspense/thrillers. A couple are not new and I just hadn't read them yet.
The Kind Worth Saving by Peter Swanson (sorta-kinda a sequel to The Kind Worth Killing - a couple characters return) Eight Perfect Murders also by Peter Swanson A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham I Will Find You by Harlan Coben Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica
Basically my entire adulthood my mother has refused to call me (and now to text me) because she “doesn’t want to interrupt” my life. I’m tired of it being one sided so I stopped reaching out and now we don’t interact much. It’s sad and yet, I almost feel like a sucker for being the one to initiate contact all this time?

My ILs are like this. They don’t call, ever. I figure it’s part the “not wanting to interrupt” and part just this feeling like the kid is supposed to be the one to call. But then, a couple months ago, I ended up on an email thread with them, and FIL replies directly to me saying something about how they can’t figure out what they did to make him dislike them. 🙄🙄🙄 Fucking pick up the phone if you can’t deal with the fact he only calls once a month or so, and even that is with considerable nagging on my part.
My kid made her own cupcakes for her 11th bday. Red velvet cake from scratch. Then, dipped out the middles to add m&ms as a surprise. Then, topped with piped vanilla frosting. Recommend.

I’m really upset with myself for reasons I cannot control. One of the cousin I was planning to visit this weekend fell and hit his head. He’s in a coma with swelling and bleeding in the center of his brain. I’m Beside myself. H and DD are packing for us to get on the road ASAP if needed.
I spent last night with friends I haven't seen since last October. We had dinner together and then wandered around the mall afterwards. They helped me pick out two dresses for an up coming wedding. So much talking and laughing. H and I spent the night at one of the friend & her H's house. We stayed up late playing board games and chatting. It was a balm to my soul. I needed the friend time. <3
Then this morning we spent 2.5 hours at a dealership and bought a Chevy Bolt.
We got home and we're exhausted. So much peopling! Such is the life of introverted extroverts.

My MIL will call at times when she knows we can’t talk (like middle of the day on a weekday) then get upset that we “never answer our phones.”

I empathize with this so much. In my case, my sister only ever calls me if she wants to complain about something. No friendly chit-chats, no how-have-you-been/how-is-the-family unless I pick up the phone and call her. It took me years to realize that even if she called and started off by asking about things or making conversation, it was ALWAYS a roundabout way of getting to talk about whatever was bugging her that she wanted to vent about.
I have been crazy-busy since January and haven't called her, so it has been three months since we talked. Until, as usual, I called her this past weekend. I sort of wonder, if I hadn't called her, how long it would have gone. Until her next crisis, I suppose.
Is it possible to have a sinus infection without having a completely stuffed up nose? I've had raging headaches for a few days, but I can still breath and taste. Dr. Google is leading me toward sinus. I may hit Urgent Care in another day or two if this doesn't let up with OTC meds.
*DH and I keep testing neg for COVID
I hope everyone on the sick bus feels better asap.
Yes. I get this pretty often. I highly recommend Afrin + Motrin + alternating warm and cold compresses.
Thank you for this tip. Finally bought Afrin last night and I feel a bit better today. Still going to try to hit Urgent Care if I can just to make sure everything's ok.
