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

[The Honor Spren she/her]

My advice: Either turn on a movie that you are both okay with, or ask him if he wants to play a game like hide-and-go-seek or tag. Another thing a lot of kids like is when you pick them up and start spinning around.

[Oversleep]

Never been a fan of LEGO, but LEGO Technic however... suffice to say that my Bionicle collection is around 40 sets.

I had the worst dr appt today and I'm scared and angry! I've had pain(mostly in right leg) in my 4 limbs since I was 19 and it has been getting worse every yr since a little at a time. I'm 35 now and some nights cry myself to sleep on the bad days. Nothing has shown up in my numerous test over the yrs for a cause. My only relief is my pain pills. People abuse these things like crazy but do I? Nope. I take them to not cry in front of my kids and to be able to play with them. I've been with this particular dr for 13 yrs and have had my steady increase in strength and quantity over time. Today the Drs aide told me I no longer meet their criteria and they are going to ween me off. I became xtremly angry and had a shouting match with him. I demanded to see the dr and told me no I couldn't see him twice. How can I not see the man I'm paying $180 a month to see? How can they justify cutting me like that? I'm going to be in for a very rough time if I can't get them to give me normal stuff... Just because young people normally don't need pills and lie to get them to get high doesn't mean I'm one of them. It's not my fault they haven't been able to fix me and I'm the one paying the price. This will not be fun and I won't be able to play with my kids on most days. I'm scared to feel this pain I know is coming and very pissed off how they just blew me off.

Rant over but I'm 100% positive I ll be ranting constantly till they pull their heads out of their as.....

*sigh

The pastor's family is coming over today to help me load the trailer. (Well, it's technically called a Relo-Cube, but whatevs.) 

 

It looks like I'm going to get the apartment, but they haven't confirmed it yet. They said they would as soon as the background check cleared. (I know they're not going to find anything; the closest I've come to criminal activity is stealing a piece of candy from one of those bulk candy bins at the grocery store when I was nine.) 

 

Still, I start on April 4, and I have to be there or I'll be marked down on my first day. They take attendance and punctuality super seriously. So I'm leaving on Monday, just as I'd planned. 

 

I feel like I've made all the mistakes, even though I know none of this is my fault, and I feel like everything is falling apart and I'm mixing up a time bomb that's going to blow up in my face.

And what mistakes are that? You did everything fine, you'll be there on time and have your job and your freedom

Wait'll you see the look on your face when you realize everything's fantastic.

Thanks, guys.

I just messaged the person that is selling rats nearby. That is not good. That is absolutely not good. I think I will have to talk with my therapist about it, because this is really weird. 

 

Or maybe my meds for depression are actually working, and just bring back all my lost interests slowly (ETA: That does seems to be probable since I also took out my ps3 recently). I happen to have a big interest in rats (or at least I had before my depression got worse), so maybe the will to buy more rats is just some crazy side-effect of my interest influencing me. 

 

Sorry, I think I just got crazy. xD

I'm glad that your interests are coming back, but remember: You do not need more rats. You do not need twice as many rats as you have hands.

Actually I already have 3 rats and I only have 2 hands. O.o And I have females, and rat females by definition are way too hyperactive. It's a pain to catch them all.* xD

 

But I just found every possible registered rat breeder in Scotland and liked their pages on facebook. This way I should have more time to think about it, since the stress of having to find the breeder is solved. 

 

So I am not buying any rats now, but who knows what I'll do in the future. 

 

*Oh, Pokemon reference. 

 

Edit: My flatmate says that I behave like a rat mother instead of a rat owner. That can't be healthy.

Try finding other interests, as this one is apparently becoming unhealthy.

[Orlion Blight he/him]

It's not unhealthy if you can properly take care of that many critters

I can't remember how many my cousin currently has... And I think it's a mix of rats and rabbits!

No cats, though. I do not know how people survive without kitty companion.

Cats are the best, but they are a really long-term commitment. Since I don't know what I'm going to be doing with my life and where I want to live, they are not good.

Most of my interests are like this. That's just how my brain works, can't help it. I probably will be back to normal in a week or two. I mean I will still love rats and all, but I probably won't be so obsessed for long. 

 

I actually mostly writie about it, because this sudden need for rats is so ridiculous that I started to find it hilarious. O.o

 

Now I'm thinking about crowfunding a new cage for my rats. But I have no friends so it's not going to work. Oh, god. I need to do something with my life. xD

You should get a chicken or two. They're adorable as chicks, and when they grow up, they give you eggs! Win-win!

You'd do best with at least four chickens. One or two does not make for a happy flock and you won't get a reliable egg cycle. Some chickens only lay once every couple of days.

[Kaymyth she/her]

I'm pretty sure that chickens don't do well in apartments.

[Pestis the Spider she/her]

Well, I have a garden, and a shed in the garden. It's totally doable. 

 

But I think ducks are way more adorable than chickens. Actually my grandfather has three ducks that are trained to do all the dog tricks. Seriously. And my father once wanted a pet duck. Or a pet peacock. Or a pet goat. Or a pet kangaroo. Well... I'm not the only weird one in the family.

My brother still has his eyes set on a racing ostrich. And my mom has tried to convince my dad to get goats multiple times.

But my father actually wants a goat to take it for a walk in the park on the leash. Like a dog, but a goat. To be precise he wants a tiny pygmy goat. xD

Well for us it would be the streets or our neighborhood and we'd want to be female so it also gives us milk, but yeah same thing.

But now I'm afraid we've derailed this topic. Please go back to informing us of your woes everybody.

I made the mistake of watching a flat earth theory video. I fear I may have lost IQ.
