Monday B*tchfest 4/4

PurplePumpernickel

Proceed  your whines, moans, and complaints.

I'm annoyed with all the people who have forgotten public transit etiquette over the past 2 years. Take off your backpacks on a crowded train! Your purse doesn't need its own seat! Move into the train and don't crowd the doors! I could go on and on...

I hit a total exhaustion and nausea wall every day around 2-3pm and it’s hard to get out of. Hubby has a class tonight and I’m nauseous AF trying to get the kids ready for bed. I’m also bizarrely craving steak and mashed potatoes which likely means I need iron. So I just spent a stupid amount of money to GrubHub myself dinner that I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stomach eating, but know for sure I can’t cook right now.

My daughter got in my bed last light and peed outside of her pull up somehow. I forgot the sheet in the washer (of course), I just want to go to sleep!

@sunshine2417 I just doordashed myself Arby’s since it was the only thing that sounded like I could stomach. That’s around the time I hit my wall, too. I’ve been trying to get a snack in by 1 and it seems to help some. It sounds like a lot of us are dealing with a meat/cooking meat aversion, I hope it subsides soon!

@sunshine2417 I've definitely had meat aversions lately and can't cook it for the life of me. Luckily my DH has really been chipping in on the cooking, but when he was at a networking event the other night I definitely didn't feel ashamed to Door dash dinner. I noticed my iron is probably low today too because I was lightheaded, so I managed to stomach some lentil soup. Hang in there.

My biggest complaint right now is that my house needs a really good cleaning and I can't seem to get beyond half of a room before getting completely exhausted. At this rate, it's going to be a mess for weeks.

It is 11 at night. Everything has been closed for an hour or more now. WHY AM I NOW CRAVING FISH N CHIPS!?

sunshine2417

@mflowers929 it’s so sad when restaurants clooooose! My steak was phenomenal and I feel rejuvenated with life. I actually haven’t eaten meat in a good 6+ months because it’s just been very unappealing (I go in weird partial-vegetarian-ish stages sometimes) but clearly my body knew more than me tonight. Chicken will not be happening any time soon though ::blegh:: I can never stomach it cooking or eating during pregnancy

Everyone has been sick at our house and it sucks.  We have no subs for people at work and so as long as it is not covid or a violent stomach bug I have to be there. I am so over teaching during a pandemic!

We have a crack in our windshield and dh is fighting me on getting it fixed. I feel like he drags his feet on maintenance/repairs and it drives me crazy, so I set it all up and then he fights me on the $. I'm probably his Monday bitchfest too lol. He says it's cosmetic, but I don't care, I don't want to drive a car in need of even cosmetic repairs. AITA?

It's not Monday anymore but I'm bitching anyway. Freaking traffic making me 20 minutes late to my class. Thank goodness the teacher had started late and was going over something non-lecture before I arrived anyway.

sunshine2417

@sejica double check with insurance! Most cover some or all of windshield crack repairs.

sejica

@sunshine2417, ours doesn't, I tried ☹️

ashnicell

@sejica If it's smaller than the size of a credit card, they can usually just patch it. Better to do that for something cosmetic than hit a bump and have it spread and crack the whole windshield. I'm with you. NTA.

sejica

@ashnicell, funny you should mention that, we actually did patch a small one a year ago, and the patch held fine, unfortunately this is a big L shaped crack in the lower passenger side. Thanks for your nta vote

manamo777

@sejica if it’s a larger crack id say it’s more than cosmetic! It can reduce safety!

Cancer sucks! My mother in law was diagnosed with a very treatable form of leukemia 10 years ago. She had treatment. Did wonderful and was in remission until about the same time we found out we were expecting. She had 4 days of chemo before all her labs bottomed out and has been in the hospital more days than she’s been out since the beginning of March. And it’s been totally kicking her butt right now and hasn’t been able to get treatment since those initial 4 days. 

She is literally the toughest woman I know and if anyone can beat it, it’s her. We just really need movement in the right direction right now.

@chelsea5787 bug, big hugs for you all ❤️

chuckle_sandwich

@chelsea5787 I can empathize with what you’re going though and am sending you hugs. My MIL had cancer in the 90’s and actually got better. Then around 2009 it came back. She went through the treatments, radiation, etc. Sadly it moved to her brain and she passed in 2016, two years after my FIL.

chelsea5787

@chuckle_sandwich I’m so sorry. Cancer is such an evil thief. 

becca1234567

@chelsea5787 I can totally relate. My MIL, whom I’m very close with, just dog diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and needs a bone marrow transplant to restore her quality of life. Right now it won’t happen until fall 2024 (assuming a match is found) so she is trapped physically with no energy, breathing challenges, difficulty waking, etc. It’s rather sad. We’re hoping having a grandchild helps cheer her up some, although she won’t be able to be involved to the degree we know she would have preferred due to her physical limitations.

Sending your MIL positive energy.

I'm so sorry friends. Cancer sucks.

mflowers929

I haven't dealt with much cancer much myself, but I've seen friends deal with it and how much it drags on them. I'm sorry for anyone who has to deal with it, or have family who has to deal with it. It's very much not fair.
