Tired of being treated like crap here.

I haven't lost all my marbles yet but there's a small hole in the bag somewhere. With some help from another gamer I was able to get the sound restored on my gaming laptop. I donated my van to Wheels for Wishes for the Make a Wish kids. And I made the decision to eliminate as much negativity in my life as possible. I'm not interested in people or things that make me feel bad and I'm no longer willing to tolerate it. I have enough going on in my life right now that I'm not allowing anything else in. If that means ignoring people a little more aggressively then so be it. I don't think anyone should have to be forced to put up with unkindness.

I'm also done discussing anything Covid related. I get enough of it at work. It's a subject that has caused so much fighting that I just don't wanna participate anymore. I will leave everyone to their opinions and their notions and just hope for the best I guess.

I had a few days off. I go back to work tomorrow. We still have no applicants for cooks. I've pondered looking at other departments to see if there was anything I could do that might interest me. Not sure if anything is available at this time. I've pondered quitting too but, not sure what I would do for work. I don't have enough qualifications for any of the work at home jobs so that's out. I'm just working on mustering up the strength each day to keep showing up. *Shrugs*

Have an awesome day.

Just sitting down to lunch. It's 2 PM here and we are under heat advisories for the next couple days. I had to put the a/c on 78* or it will just run and run. I've got the house darkened as well.

I need to cut my hair again tonight. It's getting shaggy. LOL!

My checkbook is beginning to notice the difference in grocery prices now. My bill just keeps getting higher. I try to buy in bulk so I don't have to buy as often. That's starting to become a bit of a challenge. I hate not feeling comfy enough to go in and do my own shopping.

I have found several forums and other places I've been participating at. They seem to be ok except for a couple of them. I try to stay away from threads that are controversial anymore. I am currently working on an Alice In Wonderland theme for my Animal Crossing game island. There are many very creative people out there. I have found designs for lots of lovely things to add to my island. This morning I found a small butterfly shaped pond. It's adorable!
 
There is nothing worse than having to hold the hand of another gamer that doesn't understand what server maintenance is. :rolleyes:

They are updating our Switches again. I don't know about the times they give cuz they never seem to jive with others because of the time difference. I believe ours will start in a few min. and go for an hr. Looks like a good time to eat dinner. LOL!

I decided to make a COVID memorial on my island for all those who have lost their lives to the virus or due to being on the front lines caring for those with it. Might as well make a game with some substance. Maybe I'll make a church too.
 
~Yawns~ Getting ready for my second cup of coffee. Got a day off so I might order pizza. I'm toying with the big box dinner if it's available.

Still waiting on this gal they supposedly hired to take my place in the kitchen. Still enjoying the misery of being in the kitchen. Coworkers are getting more hateful every day. I finally said the hell with it and quit talking to people. I say good morning and that's about it.

continued:
Did a little wash and got the pizza ordered. It will be here soon. Gonna spend the afternoon playing video games.
 
HaHaHa....Oh, you shouldn't have said "Pizza". Now I want one. I like getting a cheap Thin Crust Pepperoni with nothing else on it except cheese and sauce. Then I add fresh mushrooms, spinach (or kale), red onions, and my favorite "Bella Vitano Sartori Merlot Cheese" that I get from Costco. Half glass of "Storypoint Cabernet" (California wine) and I'm good to go!! Yours looks DEElish!

Good to see you're back with a focus to surround yourself with positivity...I like that goal...and I love the happy cat pic lol
 
No, you just take out all the shelves out, place the huge pizza box in there, and then throw everything else back in all willy-nilly lol

Okay, seriously, lay down a big piece of saran wrap or aluminum foil, or wax paper, or parchment paper, on the counter. Lay down and stack the pizza pieces facing each other until you you end up with is just the crust showing. Then just wrap'em up👍

I watched God Bless the Broken Road last night on PureFlix. It was good but kind of a tearjerker. Life doesn't come without struggles or mistakes just cuz you're a Christian. I've been struggling more as of late. Sometimes it's hard to see the blessings through all the chaos. Just like it's sometimes hard to hear what God is saying through all the noise of life. I try to just get up each day and put my trust in him and keep going.

A coworker that doesn't like me much does sometimes reach out to me about things that trouble her. She divorced last year and she's had a tough go of it. She asked me yesterday how a person can not be bitter about the stuff that's gone wrong in their life. I told her that bitterness isn't gonna change the past or fix the future. Sometimes if you keep dragging that luggage around it's gonna just drag you to the ground with it. God helps us carry our load of troubles but we hafta be willing to let him take hold of it.

Lately I've just been very sad and discouraged about a lot of things that leave me wondering when he will come for us.

Enjoy the day.
 
I'm the evening cook today. We have this one lead that no matter what I do he finds one thing to nitpick every day. I get so tired of it. I'm to the point where I just wanna say ok and move on. He's never gonna give up so why bother putting in the extra effort? It hardly seems worth it. He's never satisfied. He doesn't pick at the others the way he picks at me. I don't understand it. I just think it's stupid. I do crap now on purpose just to irritate him since he won't leave me be. ~evil grin~

It's been fairly hot here this month. But fall is right around the corner. I don't know what they'll do if the temps continue to climb in the summer months. The air conditioners aren't managing to keep things cool without lots of struggle as it is.

Today I have to bake off cube steak with gravy over it for supper and bake turkeys for tomorrow nights supper at work. Our patient count has stayed reasonably low but 1/4 of them are Covid patients.We are seeing approx. 50 new cases a day. Most of which are unvaccinated. They are working to get boosters approved for everyone. If they do I'll be taking one.

I put in for a vacation in Oct. It was all that was left available. Hopefully they won't take them away from us again this year.
 
Good morning. ☕

I'm presently waiting for the tow truck to get here and haul my van off to auction for the Make A Wish kids. I think from now on this is how I will let go of old cars. I like the fact that this money will be used to enrich what's left of the life of a dying child.

Once they come take the van I can move my car into the driveway. Then I'm gonna take the clippers to my hair again. I pushed the blade out farther and now my hair feels too long so I'm gonna hit it again. I'm still having troubles with shaping the sides around my ears but I'm not ready to give up just yet. If I can't manage to get it figured out then I plan to let grow back out to shoulder length with my bangs of course. I look stupid without bangs. Or fringe or whatever you wanna call it. 😁

I might be purchasing a used Switch Lite from a coworker because he doesn't need it anymore. If he decides to sell it then I'm gonna buy it. I've been itching to have another Switch anyway. I would like to make it an island where I design all my own stuff and have some other themes that I don't normally see done. I'd like an armed services section with a memorial to vets. And a rural theme. Not sure what else.

Have a good day.
 
I just got done watching my van go off to it's greater glory on the back end of a tow truck. At least it won't be for nothing. For some reason I get kinda attached to my vehicles. Not sure why. Now my parking space in the driveway is open so I put the Escort in there. My van was sharing company for the drive with a vehicle that was an insurance claim. Apparently the owner was driving through a neighborhood in town and was shot while driving it. The tow driver said there was blood everywhere in it. The things people do to each other. :cry:
