Havent seen this started yet, I don't have one yet but I'm sure some will need it on this warm monday

I am so fucking tired and crabby. Why am I so tired? I DON'T KNOW.

I even took a 20-minute nap on my lunch break. Did nothing for me. I need brownies...and donuts.

I just looked in the mirror and realized that I have a goatee.   

I normally pluck my chin hairs so I don’t actually see how many there are.  I’m not sure where this bush has suddenly sprung from...

My monday bitchfest shout out goes to H&M again.  Tomorrow will be two weeks since I placed my order.  I'm not a person to call customer service and be cranky but I'm almost there to see if I can at least get a coupon or something out of the deal. W.T.F.

The nurse at my OB’s office just called me and told me that instead of having me do my glucose test next Monday at my appointment, I have to go to the lab for it sometime this week because she’s going out of town. She said they need me to go by Thursday at the latest so they can have my results by Monday. I asked if I could just reschedule my appointment and they’re booked for the next 2 weeks. Look, I’ve worked in a doctor’s office. I get it - things happen. But I won’t get back in town until Wednesday afternoon, DS has therapy Thursday afternoon, and I have zero babysitters available to watch my kids at the last minute.

My BF is Babyletto. We got our crib as a babyshower gift, and it was delievered to my friends house, who in turn, brought it to me. Unfortunately, the bedframe was broken, so I called the company (babyletto) who said they would ship out the replacement part right away. Cut to 2 weeks later, and they havent even shipped it yet. WTF. Where is my bed frame?

knottieamusements

@timill - Tell them to stuff it.  Do the test when it is convenient for you and they can call you with the results.  I doubt that there is any real reason to have to have it done by Monday other than >their< convenience.

Why is it that work is soooo slow, and then right before you have scheduled to leave on vacation, shit hits the fan and you need to be here, but you're obviously not able to, so you just feel guilty about it and get snippy emails from people and have to piss them off even more???? Every time....

I'm pissed off at home depot for not shipping my two sinks I need for template my new countertops so I can move Aug 2nd and know I will have a kitchen sink! They keep changing the estimated ship date like 3 times and the worst is every time they do that they put a hold on my credit card for the amount which is like $1,300 so now I have 3 holds in that amount eating up my available limit which I need. I called to bitch at them and all they could say is the vendor has the product back ordered. They were able to take off the credit card holds luckily!

My BF is to myself for missing the bus this morning. Literally saw the bus drive down the street as I was still half a block away, and there was no chance in hell I was going to try to run for it. Next bus wouldn’t have come for like a half hour, so had to walk back home and take a Lyft to work instead so I wasn’t late. Great way to start a Monday. 

Also BF to my itchy belly, because it’s fricking annoying!!

@chyvie, that sucks. Moving/remodels are crazy enough without delivery issues.  Home depot had me raging not too long ago with our appliance delivery. I will think long and hard before ordering anything that requires delivery from them again. What a disaster.

This isn’t really a bitch fest as much of a life is sometimes hard post. Didn’t know where else to put it. Basically dealing with some hard but normal things approaching the end of life for a very elderly family member (who had a long healthy life and is thankfully looking at a gentle, comfortable, end surrounded by family.)  Still it brings out a lot of old family dynamics and I’m currently just completely emotionally exhausted.  I also may be mia in coming days/weeks. Sorry to be sort of vague- I do feel close to this group but also feel weird going too deep on the open internet.

ETA: this all started Friday and took on this direction today.

Hugs @rc-cola! Never easy and we're here for a vent session or just hugs whenever you need it! Totally understand not wanting to share it all with the inter webs.

Second time in a row I've tried to schedule this call with our same team from one of the geographies. Second time they've no-showed. It's 5:30 here, I am NOT waiting around for you. Grrrr.

edit: they finally showed up. and I ended the call by saying 'that was awkward' before everyone had hung up, including a senior leader. crap.

cjx95

@rc-cola so sorry your having a hard time right now, thinking of you! We're here no matter how vague or open you'd like to be whenever you might need us

That was me before my trip

@rc-cola - My heart goes out to you at this time.  End of life processing is difficult on both sides of the actual event.

I'm really peeved at my sis right now. So we left for 4 days approx, and I asked her if they could feed and care for our dog while we were gone. I didn't expect a lot cuz she is busy with three of her own kids and the youngest being 3 months. She said sure and they would bring the dog to their place some and have her home some, so I thought perfect! Saturday I text to make sure it was going ok and mom messaged back first saying all was well and they'd taken the pup for a walk the evening before even.
This evening mom came over for a bit to say hi and see everyone, but it was just me and DD-6 cuz the other two went with DH to check cows. As we were just chatting about the trip and how the dog and cat were while we were gone, I put together that mom had been the only one who came over, except for the walk, and mom left the dog in her 6x5 pen the whole time we were gone. I asked why she didn't let her out, and mom said she didn't want her to run away. I said she had her (invisible fence) collar on, and mom just replied well how was she supposed to know if it was on or working... Um, ok... I let it go because mom just doesn't catch on to these things and it confuses her. That is the reason I didn't ask her! I worried something like this would happen, or that the dog would run away and mom would freak out. It's just too much for mom SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T ASK HER.  If it wasn't gonna work for my sis, if she'd just said so, we would've taken her somewhere or had someone else take care of her for crying out loud! Poor puppy! Good (not so) lil Bunny was soooo excited to see us she raced around like only a dog can do about three feet off of the ground, didn't even knock anyone over, sweet puppy. When she finally calmed down enough, she got lots of love from everyone and DS got the toy I bought for her and they played for awhile. She seems to be back into the groove, and very happy were home.

@coffee-saur - oh, that would tick me off too!  Totally not cool. 

SweetSweetTooth

@rc-cola so sorry to hear. That is never easy. Hugs

My bf is I just got up an hour ago and nothing is going right and I am a B. Thankfully DH is at work so he doesn't have to get my wrath. 

chyvie

@rc-cola sorry to hear that. Big hugs to you. Lean on us if you need to

@rc-cola very sorry to hear, that is never easy.

So I ordered a rug from PBkids in June, knowing it was backordered until mid August. I look online on my account today, it now says backordered until DECEMBER. WTF? How do you have a rug 6 months on backorder and think that's acceptable? TBD on whether I cancel it, I emailed customer service to see if there was a chance it would be in by September. Ugh!

mytrueloves

I think DF forgot I'm supposed to be on bed rest but even still BR hasn't been doable or feasible this week. ODD has her Spanish camp finally which means 3 hours of classes followed by 3 hours entertaining her at the library then I have to go home and do the house work and cook and clean up after the animals. Oh and ODD started therapy this week so on top of 3 hours of class and 3 hours at the library I also have to do 2 hours at the therapist'a office once a week.

quiltandknit

@tlmill My OB’s office has been similar about the glucose test. She gave me the order at my 23 week appointment and said just do it before 28 weeks. I have an appointment at the lab to do it this week before I see her next week. However the office has called me twice reminding me to get it done as soon as possible. I got this under control guys!

I know it is a UO, but I hate massages.

I have scheduled a massage for 4:30 this afternoon.  I’ve spent the last two days trying not to cry while working at my desk because my shoulder is so jacked.  

My best friend tried working the knots out last night; it was fantastic for about 12 hours.  And then I came to work.  

I’m skeptical that this will last longer than a day or two because my shoulders are where I carry my stress which is why it is so screwed up right now (not to mention that taking an hour to get a massage is an hour out of the limited time I have to get all the other shit done that I need to do- which does nothing to address the stress...).

But I’m desperate. It is this or a doctor.  Who will tell me to take Tylenol.  Which doesn’t do shit for me.  

And that is my real BF: I can’t take any Aleve.

sliztee

@knottieamusements Chronic shoulder/neck pain feeler here! I started seeing a massage therapist at a chiropractor's office, because regular massage feels good...but has no lasting effects. I will say that he makes me say "FUCK!" over and over until I leave, and I will be sore for roughly a day, but it's the only thing that's helped me in all of these years. I highly recommend seeking out someone who will make you feel pain in the short term to have long term results.

knottieamusements

@sliztee - I’m hoping this guy will do that.  Short notice, so throwing a dart at a board blindfolded.  I usually use a really gnarly foam roller on it and it works, but we are well past that stage at this point.  

If this becomes a regular part of my life, I will definitely do a bit more than look for a place close to home with an open slot.  

sliztee

Especially if you like a little bit of pain! @knottieamusements

@knottieamusements I get deep tissue massages regularly, and I really think over the past 4 years they have helped keep my shoulders less tense. Obviously it's hard to do a deep tissue pre-natal, but I'm continuing getting massages to help keep things looser. Going without massages during first try was horrible on my neck/shoulders.

SweetSweetTooth

@knottieamusements chiropractor. Or massage to loosen the muscles and then chiropractor appointment right after. Massage only helps short term. Chiropractors retrain the body to do what it is supposed to do. 

knottieamusements

@SweetSweetTooth - I appreciate the suggestion, and will make the best choice for myself. 

SweetSweetTooth

@knottieamusements of course just was throwing it out there as I know you don't like Massages. 

knottieamusements

@SweetSweetTooth -

Sorry if my response was a little sharp- my evening didn’t improve and I’m struggling to separate what would normally upset me from what is hormonal.  I’m pretty sure the response above is hormonal...  

SweetSweetTooth

saw your other posts about your day and I wanted you to know I wasn't trying to shove info down your throat! my hormones were all over yesterday. Lol 

knottieamusements

I’m blaming the dinosaur.  

knottieamusements

Also your response made me tear up.  

purplegoldfish2

@knottieamusements Also not trying to shove info at you, but I was going to second the chiropractor. In addition to what @SweetSweetTooth said, the appointments are usually pretty short. I know a lot of people don’t like chiros for one reason or another though.

sammierose464

I can't wait to get into mine tomorrow.

SweetSweetTooth

@knottieamusements good tear up or bad? 

halfanewt

@knottieamusements hope the massage helped!

Just to give another option, I had the best luck with a combo of massage and physical therapy. Turns out the muscles in my shoulders forgot how to engage correctly, so I was carrying all the tension/work in a couple. Who knew?
