Learning How To Live Life

morning. pretty sure it got to 68 in the house overnight. i was only cold when going to the bathroom. i still have my comforter on the bed. i wish comforters were better designed to hold up in the wash. but usually the stuffing balls up in one area and the other areas are then flat and useless. i usually just get a new one every so often.

but since the prices are going up so much i might just get several more of those fleece blankets so i can put them all on the bed if need be. maybe once every 6 mo i can make a trip to the laundromat to wash those and a couple other things.

having my coffee and some leftover breadstix with cheese. will start on the pizza today. ๐Ÿ˜‹

i may have found a friend to play with on fortnite. i was playing with a full squad on reload where you play and get rebooted as long as one teammate is still alive til they turn the reboots off. i did this little having tea emote and a guy with a batman skin came to have tea with me. lol! then we did a batman highfive and he helped me during the game and i helped him. no voice chat on so could be another girl idk. anyway, we played well together as a squad so i sent friend requests to all of them but batman was the only one who accepted. will see if they're on today and wanna play.

neighbors daughter must not be home yet. don't hear a peep coming from next door. she had at least 3 people over again last night. she must be one of those that can't stand being by herself for long. sometimes i can hear her through the wall. she sounds like a bit of a drama queen. :rolleyes:

i was looking online at something and noticed i might be able to get a new portable nebulizer from walgreens through doordash. it's more expensive than amazon but maybe it will work better. the amazon ones are about $20 less but they're junk.
 
well i did a little bit of cleaning in the kitchen. i had a giant tote full of plastic grocery sacks. don't know what the hell i was saving them all for but they're in the trash now. i have one small zippered container with some in it. that should be enough. i put a bunch of other stuff in the tote that was on the floor due to lack of storage. kitchen looks a little better and i at least got something accomplished.

i think the neighbor girl might still be asleep. not sure.
 
alright i'm just gonna post this because i think people are getting upset with my reaction emoji's and i want people to understand why i use the ones i use. i don't want people getting offended over my use of them or i will stop using them altogether because this is getting out of hand.
i use the like if i like something.
i use the heart if i love something.
i use the hug to let people know i care.
i use the wow if something seems shocking to me.
i use the frowny face if something is sad to me.
i very rarely ever use the angry emoji unless someone really p****s me off.
i rarely use the cool emoji.

99% of my reactions is the laughing emoji because i think something said was humorous. or something posted is funny. it is never ever to laugh at someone unless they say something ridiculous like in some of the religious threads. i don't make it a habit to laugh at anyone on purpose in chat. so if you're getting insulted by my laugh emoji please stop. it's never aimed at you. it's the fact that you said something i found funny but not in a bad way. i hope that explains things cuz i'm really getting tired of being judged by a frickin emoji.
 
Thank God for fans. Drowning out some of the neighbors noise.
Couldn't find my new buddy in game yet. Maybe later. I hope it's not someone's kid. LOL!

Still watching this storm program. It's pretty fascinating and intense.

My hope for everyone tomorrow...

Anyway, I am not 100% sure if the neighbor tried to keep the little girl quiet or not. I just know I got woke up an hour and a half earlier than what I planned on. I'm not a happy camper this morning. I guess I don't need sleep.

Apparently I can just go kick rocks on all fronts. Not like I'm not used to it. Been doin it all my life. I try to take care of myself and I'm the villain. If I try to explain things to people, I'm the villain. If I don't explain things to people, I'm the villain. If I try to defend myself, I'm the villain. If I try to be nice to people, I'm the villain. Ya know what...I guess I'm just a horrible person because I won't let people run my life for me. I won't let people control how I am supposed to act to keep them happy. Because I don't matter as a human being.

With any luck this coffee will at least make me feel somewhat better. Maybe my entire memorial day won't be ruined.
 
Marci, we don't think your that type of person at all & I believe no one else on this thread does.

There is nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself & doing the right thing. If someone can't or doesn't want to understand that, it's on them & they are the problem. I've said this before, too many people like to stir the pot & enjoy it watching the results. They think & would like others to think that it's innocent mischief, but it's not & they know full well it's not.

Maybe you should use the ignore feature & kick them out of your forum life.
 
You definitely do matter, and it's easy to see that you're a good human being.

And that you try.
It feels awful when we try our best, but it feels like that's not enough.
And it wasn't enough, for you to not to be woken up too early. Which has multiple bad effects on you. ๐Ÿ˜•

I hope you'll feel better after an extra bit (dose?) of self care. And possibly want to post.
You add a lot of value and positives to our forum when you do.

Oh! I have been meaning to tell you those fuzzy blankets? I really like them, the ones from WalMart. I like them much better than quilts. They stay in place nicely, easy to wash (in the large laundromat machines), and some I have are 6-7 years old, still look good even with the dogs sleeping on them. If you keep temps cold in winter, yes you may need two. My bed is a full size; I bought the king size blankets because they will cover to the floor, like a bedspread. Two birds with one stone.
 
Finally feeling a little better despite still being upset but, I'll be ok.
Yesterday and this morning I've woken up and everyone next door was gone. I haven't gotten woke up. The little girl was still awake at frickin midnight but sent to bed not long after that. Momma and whoever was staying over again finally went to bed around 1:30.

It's overcast this morning. Gonna be in the mid 70s today with chances of storms. Chance of storms today, tomorrow and Friday. Ugh!

We had 2 bed bug patients yesterday so, I'm sure I'll get stuck cleaning both rooms today again.

I found a portable nebulizer at Walgreens on DoorDash. I'm gonna order one and see how it works. If it works good and lasts a bit I'm gonna order another one so I have an extra. I prefer those to the loud one I have that sits on the floor to use. I could save that one when something else breaks down. They're more expensive than Amazon's but, Amazon's nebs are crap. Sometimes they come and they don't even work and I can't get my money back from the sellers.

I think it's been a week now and they still haven't captured an escaped convict from the jail. He escaped when they were trying to transport him to a treatment facility so I've been trying to keep an eye out when I have to go outside. I hope they find him before someone gets hurt.
