The target near me didn't have Passion tea so I looked online and they said the next nearest one had it. So I drove all the way over and they don't have it! Plus this target always smells weird and is dirty.
Go to a Starbucks half an hour to 5 minutes before they close. If you time it right and have cool baristas you can get a buttload of Passion Tea they'd otherwise pour down the drain.

I swear to every god ever my mom needs a padded room. I live with her because she can't kneel or lift anything over 20 pounds. Hence the catboxes are all my deal. But in the 20 minutes I have been home, she almost threw her computer monitor because "It's a piece of poo poo and it never works right," threw several items on her desk because Hotmail froze, and then stormed into the kitchen ....where she promptly shredded a box of sandwich bags because she couldn't get it open, then threw all the bags and the thankfully empty trashcan against the wall, before slamming everything into the can and throwing it outside, screaming that we just won't have an inside garbage can because it's a loving piece of poo poo.

Oh right, and I am still sick with a sinus infection so her screaming and throwing everything is awesome for my headache.

I just....don't loving get it. Not that I will ever tell her this, but this is the main reason, money aside, I will never ever have kids, because my role model for dealing with anger is to scream and throw poo poo.

obviously I fucked it

I can't eat at most of the restaurants near where I both live and work because they serve too much seafood. It just contaminates everything and all the food makes me sick. Places that serve a ton of shellfish can put me in the hospital/kill me.

What I'm saying is that food allergies suck.

A while ago my mouse died, so I went out and bought a new version of the same type. Annoyingly, the middle-mouse button doesn't work as easily as my old one. Not enough of a bother to return it, but annoying enough to be a First World Problem.

My dentist is trying to commit insurance fraud, the psychiatrists I saw in the hospital told me to cease a med and lied to my face about withdrawal effects, my nephrologist is milking me for business, and the specialized psych center I went to is two months late on a report. And I'm waiting on all the bills I can't afford despite good insurance with the deductible paid off.

Someone around a certain spot where I walk all the time obviously thinks it's absolutely hilarious to let his big dumb dog drop massive dog bombs in the piles of leaves hanging around...

Now I'm paranoid of all piles of leaves to walk through on the sides of the roads are liberally littered with clumps of dog poo poo of all shapes and sizes.

My avatar is tits awesome, that is why.

I don't work at a pet store (anymore) unless you mean us fostering kittens?

I think it's come about because I'm sick (and due for it, I guess, I never am sick but got nailed twice in one month, no more sick days, gently caress) and realized that no, just because I am sick, I DON'T get to take it easy because she never picks up the slack. I don't get a sick day from the animals. gently caress, I don't even get extra help cleaning the drat litter boxes (and when I set up an extra one, she demanded to know why. Because....we have a lot of fosters and not enough boxes? She said she didn't understand. And oh the things I could say.).

Now, I know she can't lift poo poo and can't bend her knees safely (at this point she has had both her knees replaced and I don't see any loving change in what she can do now versus prior) but if I got just a little help while I am suffering through coughing solid bloody chunks of snot and trying to avoid pnuemonia, it would not be so bad.

She's not quite an invalid, isn't old enough yet to retire (so she comes home from a job she hates and loves to bitch about) and most of her social life in on Facebook. Which would be great, but she could at least TRY to help more when I am under the weather, instead of barely doing the minimum. In short, I hope they legalize weed here soon, because I will be the first person at the gate buying a brick, and every time she has a meltdown I will slingshot pellets into her screaming maw.

I seriously think my fuse is getting shorter because I am very sick this time, and her telling me to take it easy is like a slap in the face after you got kicked in the balls.



Poop peeve: at a local park, people can ride their horses. People are expected to pick UP all animal waste, but I only see the dog walkers do that. Horses? poo poo everywhere. On the trails, in the parking lot, on the bridges. And the riders never stop to even kick it off the main paths. I don't care if it's just grass, horse droppings are huge and that poo poo needs to be picked up!

I'm going out to dinner but I was starving earlier so I ate some food and an ice cream bar so I am no longer hungry. It is doubly sad because I've never been to this place before and have been wanting to go there for years.

My internet is either out or unplugged, but it's too hard to get a ladder to go up to look on the shelf where it is to see what the blinky modem lights say.

Oops I double posted. I woke up at 6:00 am so I am extremely drowsy and confused.

E: the alarm in iOS 10 is now black and it's totally throwing me off, and it's really hard to see the green on/off thing. It's been white for 9 years. Why change something that isn't broken?

It's that thing

If I put the coffee in at the right temp it'll stay there forever, but if I put it in too hot I have to leave it open or pour it in something else otherwise my coffee is still burning hot when I come back home after work. I liked it more with cold drinks during the summer. There was still actual ice in my iced coffee when I forgot the mug in my car for two days.
