Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!

[marsoupial they/them]

*very much hug* 

[Pinnacle-Ferring he/him]

ברוך דיין האמת.

I grieve with you and send all of the hugs.

[Oversleep]

I'm not sure I'm prepared well enough but also I'm not sure whether it's actually possible to be completely prepared. Let's see whether I will survive that class...

(stress levels are over 9000, I have to say)

EDIT: Aaaand I failed. That's the second time I'm failing that course (although this time I got further). I think I need to rethink my life. Like, seriously.

I'll tell my family in three weeks, that's where I'd have another class. I wouldn't make it through Christmass with them going all over this.

You will be fine.  Just remember to do the things I taught you last week, and it should insulate you from your mother's trained attack brain weasels.

A little belated, but thank you both.  I leave the day after tomorrow, bright and early, and right now my biggest concern is that Bruce will handle being on the plane okay. But—I've done everything I can on my end. I know he should be fine.

It's 2:15AM and I can't sleep because I'm terrified of my doctors appointment today (at 10AM, so I'm definitely not getting enough sleep). That's because I'm getting shot in the head a bunch of times. Or, getting a bunch of shots in my head. Same thing.

The shots are Botox for my constant headache I've mentioned here several times, and I've had bad experiences with shots before (nerve blocks and even acupuncture have been extremely painful). I wouldn't do these if anyone had any other options for me, but this is basically a last ditch effort. I don't know what will be available after this, beyond less mainstream and less legal options (marijuana has been brought up many times, but hasn't been legalized here just yet).

Edit: And the chulls at the doctors office neglected to inform us that they never received the Botox itself, so we showed up and were told there's nothing they could do but reschedule us.

Well idk about you but they woulda gotten a yelling cursing cajun if it was me.

Just incase people haven't seen Rogue One thread I ll post this here to. Carrie Fisher had a heart attack today and is in hospital...  I hope she recovers!!

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

It's the morning of my first full day back at my parents' house. I've already endured two tight smiles from Twimom (Bruce made a mess in her room, which I cleaned up before she even saw it, though the carpet was still damp despite my efforts to dry it) an evening with my grandmother (she came over at 7:30 last night to see me, and while my parents invited her so that she wouldn't drop in today, at that point I had been awake for over 16 hours and was still expected to be cheerful and chatty) and a sense that I've done something wrong that won't be named until naming it is dramatically convenient. I also had to sneak into the kitchen and make myself a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast without dirtying a plate because Twimom was already tense and getting anything more elaborate than something I could make quickly and sneak upstairs would've invited lots of sighing and maybe a remark about keeping the kitchen clean "because I'm going to be in there all day anyway and I don't want a bigger mess to clean up." 

In other words, it's my first full day back at my parents' house, and I'm already reminded of why I'm never moving back to Spokane. 

Edit: It's 8:42. She just walked into my room with her coat on, said in her tiredest voice that she'd see me later, and asked me if I was going to church. I asked when it was. "It's at ten, but you don't have to go if you don't want to. It doesn't matter." She threw up her hands and left. Bear in mind that I have no car and my only means of getting to church is if someone drives me.

I don't know what I did and I don't care.

Sheesh. That's terrible. I'm really sorry, Twi.

Your mother sounds like the type that wouldn't allow you to sit on your freshly-made bed because it would get messed up.

*hug*

I'm sorry, @TwiLyghtSansSparkles. *hugs* Remember that no matter how your parents treat you, we love you and value you, and if your parents can't see what an amazing person you are, then they're majorly missing out on your awesomeness. You deserve better than passive-aggressive sighs and glares. Just hold out for a few more days. *more hugs*

Thank you both.  Apparently, Twimom was mad because she had told my youngest sister that she would wake her up in time for church today (or maybe Twidad did, not sure) and then got angry because said sister didn't set her alarm and therefore wasn't awake when she and Twidad left for church around 8:40. So, typical Twimom insanity.  

My resolve to never move back is still holding.

I need some sympathy + support but I don't want to post why publicly. Who can I PM?

Have you also uttered a sentence somewhere along the lines of "Why do you keep coming to me for support? You know I have the empathic capabilities of a cucumber"* And apparently that's what they need...

I will help you without hesitation. I would love to help you, even if if it's only via verbal support.

I'm ok for now, I'll message you guys if I need help again. Thanks

Sigh. Well this is the 36th yr in a row of my 36 yrs on Earth that I've woken up to a not white Xmas. Highs will reach almost 80.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

United Airlines left me a Christmas gift on one of their planes: a cold. I've been sick since Christmas Eve. Not bad enough to leave me out of the festivities, but bad enough that I need to keep Kleenex and cough drops constantly on hand. I have no idea if I'll be feeling better by the time I leave on Wednesday, and I have a sneaking suspicion that United has also left me a New Year's present in the plane I'll take then.

Welcome to the club, I at one point today seriously felt like throwing up, so I am now concidering dropping out of the christmas dinner to avoid me getting sick in the restaurant.

That sucks.  I'm lucky—we do Christmas dinner at home, so no danger of me getting sick in public. Had to keep a ton of cough drops on hand for the church service, though.

Script ran out and I forgot to pick it up before all of the everything closed for christmas weekend so withdrawal and now I have to wait for 6 weeks before they start working again... yay.

Nah, you'll be carrying everyone else's New Year's gift.  Rinovirus: the gift that keeps on giving!
