The used book i ordered from Amazon arrived, and it's a book club edition that only resembles the listing photo.

I mean sure, it's "the same book" and probably not worth returning, but I wanted a nicer shelf copy ugh

I have an important job thingy I’m doing for the first time today and not only did I sleep terribly, but I also woke up an hour and a half early so I’m going to be tired.

I took my anxiety medicine but it won’t kick in for 20 min so I’m sitting here freaking out even though it’s not really that big of a deal cause I have people to go to for help if I need it but still :supaburn:

Update: the anti anxiety kicked in and now I’m sleepy but have to leave my bed to go to work.

The CVS app sucks rear end, major rear end.

A new day, a new post.

-I was so upset about something I posted on Twitter, ! using a # ! I made a twitter account to follow some ps4 hack many years ago so I never look at it, but I felt it was significant enough to log in and post. I feel dirty, especially the # part

-I am not up to date on technology so I had to google if I was using the # right :(

-I keep waking up at 3am every night and can’t get back to sleep and it’s getting old and annoying

Pest control was coming to my apartment so we took the cats to their grandma's house, because apartment maintenance has no consideration for cats and let one of mine out last year never to be seen again. The cats picked up fleas while visiting, so I bought some random squeezy crap at the pet store to kill off the fleas before they got in the carpets and everything.

I put it on them and realize that this isn't what I used last time, but it's probably all the same poo poo, right? I've dealt with fleas like once before since my cats are indoors so I guess I'm clueless. About an hour later I notice one of the cats is zipping frantically all over the house and drooling down his front, so I look at what exactly is in the flea stuff and realize it's a bunch of random loving essential oils, all of which are deadly poisonous to cats. So I had to give them thorough baths and probably still have fleas to contend with because some motherfucker decided to sell essential oils as flea medicine and I was the idiot that bought it sight unseen because I figured flea control was down to a science by now.

I woke up with stiff shoulders due to sleeping weirdly or something, so when I tied my boots to go to work, I stood up funny to avoid shoulder pain and managed to kink a back muscle :saddowns: Now whenever I bend over or rotate too far, it feels like I'm getting jabbed with an electrified sewing needle in the exact same spot every time. It's been a REALLY long 12 hour shift without so much as a tylenol

Also my friggen shoulders still hurt

My friend and I have an rpg going but I always have to be the one to ask if she wants to play. She always does unless she's got plans otherwise, but gently caress it, is there some unspoken rule that she can't ever ask if I want to?

At the same time her husband is 'depressed' because he wanted to start streaming himself playing video games but his Internet speed isn't enough so now he's upset and angry he isn't going to be a Twitch or Youtube star. I want to shake them both and ask why the gently caress anyone would watch another white dude play games when the market is pretty full.

Ok seriously not being able to control the heat in my apartment is getting really ridiculous this year. Past years it’s been fine. But now, First it’s crazy hot when I got home (5pm), now I just woke up (3:30 am) shivering like crazy. I wish I had a thermometer becacauze it’s like 50 degrees in here. My feet are like icicles. WHY are they doing this?! Whoever is controlling the heaters for the building must have some sort of hatred and malevolence in him because goddamnit, i CANT STOP SHIVERING. Gonna bust out my loving Russian wool socks, maybe that’ll help.

E: update: put on wool socks, 80s style thick leg warmers, a pair of pants (I sleep in boxers), and a super warm sweater, so I’m not shivering anymore but I’m still frozen. It’s actually worse in my living room. Ugh. Hate.

New update: when I came home at 4 it was warm but I guess now they’re turning down the heat cause it’s freezing again. Wearing this many layers is uncomfortable. And yes I checked my vitals, they are fine, my body temp is 98.7 but if you touch my foot it’s like an ice cube. Thank god my family got me wool socks from Russia :ussr:

And also, there was a building posting/email that the city requirements for winter are like, 75 for the day and 65 at night but I think they’re taking it to the extreme. Or the crazy murderous rear end in a top hat who is controlling this doesn’t give a gently caress and setting it to 50.

Also also I’m not super thin w no body fat so that’s not the issue.

Taking two dogs to the vet today.

Get dog 1 leashed and loaded up. Get dog 2. She is missing her collar. It got dirty last weekend, Mom took it off to wash it, and never put it back on the dog.

No worries, I have backup leashes and collars and left them hanging by the inside garage door.

The bag is missing because on the weekend, Mom bumped into it, and threw the bag somewhere in the garage, yelling that we have too much poo poo and need to throw some out.

15 minutes to vet appt. I grab the leash, make a collar with it, load dog 2, and drive to the vet.

Turns out the vet moved their office 10 minutes away and didn't send us a notice.

Get to the vet, slightly late, and while signing in, one of the techs shows me a four inch stack of postcards USPS returned to them over the past few weeks as Bad Address. Somehow it never occurred to anyone to maybe CALL THEIR loving CUSTOMERS about the move.

Pay the bill, get dogs home. Bag of collars and leashes still missing. Dog collar (with her registration tag) still missing. Somehow telling my mom she was responsible for putting the collar back ON the dog after she washed it has not led to a good evening.

sometimes i get heart palpitations and it sucks rear end, like i’ve been to the doctor and it’s nothing serious just wildly uncomfortable

i just really don’t like to gently caress around when it comes to heart problems. you only get one and you kinda need it, so i take that poo poo pretty seriously. it’s not painful but when i get palpitations i can’t really focus on anything else other than “ok, is my pulse alright, can i breathe fine, am i dizzy right now, do i feel weak or tired, etc.”

anyway i’ve had them on and off all day so i didn’t feel very productive at work

i don't drink red bull or coffee but i did have a diet coke earlier in the day which is fairly regular for me, but my palpitations are pretty irregular. this is only the second time it's ever really happened to me (last time was several months ago) but both last time and this time it has occurred over a few days. first sign of this palp sesh was last night as i was laying in bed

I'm such a light sleeper that I've had nights where my heartbeat was enough to keep me awake, depending on body position and relative quietness of the room. Not even a goddamned "my heart is going nuts right now" thing, either.

I went to the doctor over it, just to make sure I was being a paranoid hypochondriac and not that something was actually wrong. Sure, doc gave me a stink eye about it, but hey, he's a doctor..
