well the car is safely at the ford place and i pray all will be well. not sure when i'll get it back.

i am comfort eating right now. the mama kelce pizza bundle from papa john's. the mother of two football stars that i don't know. *shrugs* pizza is good. will probably be the last of it for a while since i will be short on $.

it's still raining and cold but i'm all tucked in eating pizza and all cozy.

after dad passes away and i get through that emotional ordeal i am going to do some looking into finding ways to get some healing from my childhood trauma. the stuff is there just below the surface all the time and it's just too painful to deal with right now. i want to make peace with it before i die though.

i would hate to be miserable for the rest of my life. right now i am gathering reading materials for when i'm ready to sit down and face things. i wish back in the 60s there had been more available to help kids with special issues to get the support they needed as well as places to teach parents how to support the child.

but still i know it would've come down to my parents facing the reality of what was happening and being willing to try to deal with it rather than take it out on me. it was easier and cheaper for them to verbally and mentally abuse me rather than getting help for all of us. instead i was constantly accused of being crazy.

frankly i think it was them that was crazy. what kind of parent mistreats their kid because of a disability they have?

i wish i knew what it was like to be loved. genuinely loved by another human being.

anyway, time to go watch tv. later y'all! *hugs*

@MarciKS< know exactly what you mean about the times growing up... you could tell things were messed up in the family but no one would talk about it ("you are too young to understand", etc), no one would get any help (the stigma of 'seeing a therapist'-- what will ppl think?!) and no one would step in to try any help from outside the family ("It's their private business")

As a child, just left to flounder on your own.

I did get help eventually and I'm much healthier now. I hope you can work through all your stuff. It's no fun, but it's worth it. (((hugs)))

it will probably be the hardest thing i've ever had to deal with. i am not yet prepared for that. eventually tho. i just hope the broken heart i'll have won't be the death of me.

Between you, me and the coffee pot, wouldn't it be nice to have one Chat Room here on our fantastic senior forums? One spot we could slide in and have a friendly conversation? Yes or No?
 
ok just got ahold of ford. so far we're 800 some odd dollars in. the engine manifold(?) is in desparate need of repair. since the car is older and they hafta take things apart to get to it they're not certain if other things will break during this process. so hoping all goes well. *fingers crossed*
 
aside from getting woke up at 20 after 8 this morning, i got my car back for a grand total of $771 and he threw in free wiper blade replacements and a brake light bulb replacement. and they delivered the car to me. i am blessed. so hopefully i'm all good now for a while. hopefully. lol!

couldn't get back to sleep so i'm gonna be a zombie at work tonight. will likely have a little supper later and go to bed early tonight. might put on absolutely fabulous and watch til i go to sleep. hope i don't end up muttering the words "sweetie darling!" in my sleep. lol!

have a good day!

turkey day was relatively calm compared to wednesday in er. we'll see what tonight brings. lol!

gotta get some gas before work. we might get our first snow of the season tomorrow. i want everything done so i can just go home and chill for my weekend off. i gotta order a few groceries. will likely do some wash and some gaming.

i have a quest to slay some crablike creatures on stardew valley for monetary gain. two in game days to complete it. hope i can manage it. lol!

have a good day.
 
Morning. Having coffee and working on my grocery list for tomorrow.

Also kinda irritated with our charge today. The managers tell us we're not supposed to do certain stuff but sometimes we do. Even the charge does. But then the charge sneaks around and spies on people and if he catches us he reports it to the boss.

I've witnessed many occasions where he's done the same thing we were told not to and never said anything to anyone but now I'm starting to think maybe he needs to be reported if this is how he's gonna behave. He comes in acting all righteous and chewing me out last night and saying he's going to the boss first thing Monday cuz it has to stop.

I wanted to ask him if he planned to tattle on himself too for all the times he's done the same thing. He claims it will be brought up in a group discussion since several of us were doing it. And now I'm just angry because I can't have a normal day with coworkers without worrying about him snooping around in our business.

Plus nursing staff drags us into things and then turns around and tattles on us. They just start crap on purpose because they're mad cuz they got reported for stuff. I'm so mad right now I just don't even wanna talk to anyone at work anymore. I think I'm gonna start taking my breaks and meals alone and clocking in and out elsewhere to avoid drama altogether.

It is snowing here at the moment. I am uncertain but I believe we're to get 2-4 in. today. It will warm back up tomorrow.
 
*Snorts & laughs* Episode 2 of Absolutely Fabulous when she says to the assistant "Listen you little bookmark!" :ROFLMAO: I think I'm gonna enjoy this show.
 
I don't know for sure how many episodes of AbFab I watched before I finally had to go to sleep. It was too funny! I remember the episode where they went to France. LOL!

Waiting on groceries to be delivered. They got started on them fast today. I'm trying to get off the soda pop and found some flavored caffeinated sparkling water. Zero sugar and 5 calories. I can live with that. 😁

Still mad about Friday. Not looking forward to a miserable day Monday but just wanna get through it and move on. But I'm done saying anything to anyone that is for sure. Some of the things that go on there are just shady as hell sometimes. I know there's reverse discrimination there just by seeing what we get put through compared to other groups. If I were younger I'd make a stink about it but I'm to the point it's just not worth the time and effort. Especially since I know nothing will come of it.

I think we got around 4 or 5 inches of snow maybe? Can't really tell. Just an estimate. Having coffee and enjoying the warmth of the house and just relaxing.
 
It was busy at work. Not in a great mood. Tired of people being mad at me all the time no matter what. I am always left to feel as though I have no right to speak or do anything without the fear of offending everyone all the time. After a while it just gets old.

Night y'all.
 
Got woke up 2 hrs early this morning by the fiber optic guys again. Good thing I don't own a shotgun like Granny on Beverly Hillbillies. The one little guy smiled so sweetly at me yesterday it made it tough to stay mad. Damn him. LOL! Maybe they'll be done since they're clear at the other end of the street today. Maybe tomorrow I can sleep in. Little grouchy today. Gonna need lotsa coffee at work.

Finished season 2 of Almost Paradise on Freevee last night. Continued watching White Collar.

Working today. Off tomorrow. We have teamout tonight. The charge and I aren't talking after Friday's verbal exchange. Boss never came out and said jack to us on Monday so I've no clue what's happening. I say next to nothing to anyone and when he comes into the room or area I either don't talk at all or I leave. I eat alone. Clock in and out alone when I can or I don't talk to anyone in line.

I have no intentions of speaking to the coworker that caused all the issues to begin with that way there's no misunderstanding. She's foreign. Her english is not the best so she misunderstands and flies off the handle and throws a tantrum about being told what to do. I hate working with those kind of people.

We have another one down with Covid in our dept. Most are ones that have not been vaccinated. I am making sure I keep wearing my mask around everyone. I think the KN95 mask may be helping a lot.

Well, have a great day!
 
Amongst Friends... I like that title... So, between friends I've an important question regarding on how to add an emoji below a post, instead of just a "LIKE"

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

In the post box (where you type your comment), there are a bunch of icons above that. Click on the smiley one. Now, if you mean an emoji below the post (yes, which is what you said), that's controlled by the forum software. It offers what it offers.
