I'm a crazy person and having difficulty conducting myself at work, so it could be better. Feeling a bit trapped tbh.

But I got a new car which is fun.

Have fun with your new car! Hope you can find a way to ease that trapped feeling, it can be a nasty one when it hangs around for long.

Thank you! It's pretty fun but I haven't had time to drive it much yet being as my work is such a short commute! Got a nice shiny red color. Vroom vroom.

I guess if they end up firing me because I'm crazy I could just speed out of there in my car haha.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok I guess. It's cold and wet here. How about you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hot and warm here, so different vibe ha ha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hot AND warm?

Did you mean to say dry?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It's actually humid ha ha

Terrible, I though 2023 and 22 were bad, is just a downward spiral.

Sorry to hear

Temporarily off my meds due to a dispute with the pharmacy. But other than that, super duper.

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh no. You gonna be ok without them? Problem resolved? I finally got my doctor to switch me to Belsomra and then got sticker shock. $400. Nope. I’ll stay awake thank you.

I will survive, it's not a life-threatening condition. Just the annoyance of being told they can't refill my medication because the scrip came from a telehealth appt and I need to have seen my doctor in person in the last year. I point out that they gave me my pills last month, she says that was a mistake and they shouldn't have. I ask why, she says it's the law. I look up the law on my phone and prove that it's not against the law. . She shrugs and says, "Well, I still don't feel comfortable handing these out..." while she's literally holding the meds I need in her hand. The telehealth doctor says he'll deal with her, then calls me back 2 days later to say they tried and she won't budge. I file a complaint with the pharmacy and they say, "We're very sorry you had this experience, patient health is our number one priority, each of our pharmacists is empowered to use their own discretion when dispensing drugs, there's fuck all we're going to do for you, we hope you will remain a loyal customer."

So I am working on switching pharmacies.

Desperately trying to get back on my feet while everything around me falls apart and I'm on the brink of losing my shit. This has become my new normal.

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 3 months ago

I feel ya. My credit card balances doubled this month. :(

[–] hungrythirstyhorny 3 points 3 months ago

bad, pressures form work. go home just to sleep, and go back to work again and at the end of the week, they not extend my contract

pardon my english :)

After a short and social battery draining work week; I am doing better. Day 2 of 4 off, I can sink deep into Astroneer and recharge! I'll also get laundry done, a short shopping trip accomplished too. At some point, there's no rush to get either task done.

Got back from a 3 week vacation and need another one after 4 days of work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Pretty awful. My partner broke up with me on Friday. We got back together on Sunday and things have been cozy since; closer and more comfortable than they had been for months. Until we had a big fight over lunch today.

I can't help but feel like I'm just desperately trying to resurrect a dead relationship, but I can't just let go. I've fallen in love plenty of times, but she's the first person to ever feel like a soulmate to me.

I know she loves me just as much as I love her, but we just don't seem to be able to work through our issues. Try as we might communication keeps falling short. Old wounds keep opening up and in my desperate attempts to bandage them I keep causing new ones.

practices...

A little of this, a little of that.

Positive: Someone reached out to me to tell me that one of my pieces (I am an artist) made them emotional and that it was beautiful. It made my day and I was (am) absolutely beaming.

Negative: Hard earned money that had to go pay some stupid bills. I try not to dwell much on it, but it makes me feel rage at times.

[–] Zerlyna 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ooooh can you post a picture of it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That is so kind that you are intrigued by it. I will try and find out how to it here on lemmy since I have not being able to do it before.

[–] Zerlyna 1 points 3 months ago

Lordy this week I have just been exhausted. It’s 11:30 for me right now and I’m finally sitting up in bed. Like the life has been sucked out me. I took a day off early this week and let the child and her BFF go indoor putt putting before school starts next week. And my Cat Ladies for Kamala merchandise has been arriving and I’m giddy to start displaying it. :D
