Look at how toxic we are.
I’m glad this is helping and that we could help.
Now, I go back to moaning about how fucking broken I feel because of yard work and age.

Thank you for letting us do this. And thank you again for the Pomplamoose. You're almost there!

You guys are just the best! I'm getting all choked up!
If you die do we get a refund, or...?
Paid back double!

was out sick for a couple of days with a stomach-flu-ish illness. Went back to work today, slipped in a cleverly disguised patch of mud in the school's car line (to aid drop off, we go, open the car door, kid hops out, we close the car door, parent drives away, and we can roll through 40 dropoffs in like 5-10 mins). I felt a tweak, which no big. Stepped back so that I could close the car door and almost passed out with pain after my leg buckled under me.
Fun times, I think I had like 5 parents out of their cars and running towards me before I even got spit out of the fog of pain. Super embarassing. Hobbled with parents/coworker help into the building, then went to the urgent care, now I'm out for at least a week with an injured LCL.
I guess I'm not getting a paycheck next cycle, since pretty much half of my paycheck goes to my healthcare benefits payment. L&I may pay a small percentage of lost wages, but since I am perfectly capable of sitting on my ass and doing something technically I'm not out of work out of work (even though my job duties as a preschool assistant don't allow for sitting, and I am not permitted to crouch/kneel/walk without crutches/crawl/ect which is kind of the vast majority of my job, especially the bending/kneeling while talking/helping little people).
So a little depressed. I always miss my kids when I'm away. And having the pay bump has been nice in regards to being able to squirrel stuff away and keep most of our liquid $$$ for college expenses and the like. I'll be fine/things will be fine but I probably shouldn't drive down to meet up with two of my college kids next weekend as I'd planned and me trying to get up and down stairs is comical so I can't even work on my house projects I have going, and I'm just feeling super down. It could have been worse. Maybe I'll heal up faster than expected, nothing is even bruised or swollen! But every time I put too much weight on that knee I literally see stars.

@mietze Knee injuries are the pits. I have permanent knee and back injuries, and before I got the knee injury, I'd have said a back injury would categorically have to be the more limiting one. Nope. So I have an idea what you're going through, and I hope you mend quickly.

I used to play World of Warcraft with this guy like... 15 years ago. We were friends and hanged out on Ventrilo, so even though we eventually moved on he's still on my Facebook as a friend.
He's done very well with his career. He's like a CEO for a company now, which is great for him! But damn some of his posts lately are... shots of himself in expensive suits in front of expensive cars in Dubai. Or posing with a Rolex in front of an indoors swimming pool, tagging it with #statussymbol and #success.
I am hoping he is doing it ironically but even so splashing wealth like that is a bit cringe-worthy. I hope he knows, and it's just showing some kind of quirky sense of humor about where he is at life, but he posts these kinds of pictures semi-regularly.
-
@arkandel sounds like the equivalent of the folks I know who like to instagram/post about their perfect lives with their picture perfect families and how they grow everything from scratch/are the best homemaker ever/perfect kids, ect.
It annoyed me more before, now I think it's pretty funny, especially when I know how their house really looks/the struggles with their kids/how they buy lysol and cleaning shit in the stores rather than making everything with vinegar, essential oils, and angel poop or whatever.
-
@mietze I really don't mind ambition at all. If people can get wealthy, that's fine.
It's flaunting wealth that bugs me a bit when so many people aren't doing well.
Be rich. Buy lots of toys, help your family out. Maybe donate some to charity. And shut up.

Last night a friend had a psychotic episode out of nowhere. Tonight another friend died of cancer.
I'm so fucking tired.

Needed to withdraw from my statistics class. Feeling very overwhelmed, and angry at myself for feeling like this is a way to get some breathing room.

@sahin your mental health is worth way more than any specific college route you have planned out. You're doing a responsible and adult thing.

Don't beat yourself up over this. I just asked for an extension on the final in my accounting class because I'm way too sick to concentrate on a five hour test and way too far into the class to be willing to drop it.
Do what you need to do for you and don't feel bad about that.
