Since school started I feel like I have caught every bug that I managed to avoid last year. First some kind of stomach bug that had us at the children’s hospital for hours fearing appendicitis in the youngest, but at least when it hit the oldest we were like ‘just throw up a bunch you’ll be fine,’ then I had some kind of flu-like thing (not Covid according to all the tests I did but oof), now I’ve got a head cold. All one right after the other.
I guess I could also blame my commute, since we have to show up in the office two days a week even though we can all clearly do our jobs from home.
-
And apparently the main pump for our well is down. So on top of everything else I have minimally running water plus since we have a flash heater that also means pretty much no hot water. And of course I canceled the Y membership a few months ago bc nobody was using it. Covid in the house, I feel like crap, juggling a lot of important kid appts solo with the spectre of cancelation if kiddo or I get sick (so far so good, we test daily), peri periods fucking suck and now no hot shower either. I mean this could def be worse but COME ON.
-
Adding to the above since that post: car issues, lingering covid fever which means isolation extension potentially, losing the appt that we have waited for 10 months for (neuropsych office has very strict protocols including no appointments if a household member has covid, which i support but also have been crying about off and on for the last 12 hours and I think maybe its out of my system, but also realizing if I get sick now we will lose the reschedule as well), losing one of my appointments that I’ve been waiting 6 months for, for me with rescheduling now 3 months away, still feeling ill (not covid), and trying to keep everything going plus emotional support long distance for a kidult and keeping a neurodivergent kiddo at home on an even keel after 2 weeks of pretty major upheaval. Emergency call in to work.
I’m exhausted physically and emotionally and mentally.

I have very minor surgery tomorrow to fix a deviated septum. My anxiety brain will not stop spinning around that somehow, I will totally die under anesthesia.
This post, too, is a manifestation of that anxiety. I feel the need to tell people so if I vanish off of the internet, they won’t question why.
Fuck anxiety.
-
@Solstice I did the same thing when I had my biopsy in June. I knew I would probably be fine but there were all these warnings about bleeding and so my anxiety was like, “So what if we just bleed to death?” Anxiety is a real big jerk.
Best of luck on the surgery! I am manifesting that it is going to go great and you will heal like Wolverine afterward.
lol lmao

@Solstice It’s not the same at all, but I still get mild anxiety when I have to go into my dentist. Most recently I had to get a de-scaling done. Which is something I do no recommend. You would think that a water pick would be a lot better to get your teeth cleaned with than that hooked pick they use to scrap shit off with.
Nope, it’s worse. Only this is water and high vibrations. It’s fine…unless it hits your gums. Then it sucks.
-
Oh gosh, thanks. That’s the coolest well-wishing I’ve received. I shall Wolverine the hell out of it.

My mentee is stressed af and not coping well with the stress of being the teacher. She is taking it out on others and I’m taking it personally that I can’t mentor that out of her.

I did not die. Imagine that, anxiety.

@Solstice Anxiety is wrong again!
Glad you came through. Now get on that Wolverine healing.

I think this is more than a peeve, but I need to vent.
We are a $1k short for the wedding. There were expenses that neither of us foresaw, and when I came home early today, I came home to a sobbing fiance, which I was worried because I thought she was hurt or something happened or someone had died. Thankfully, none of these things happened.
We’re seven days out from the wedding and she just did an accounting of our financials, as she’s the money-holder in the family because she has a head for math and I just kind of derp around with numbers(usually I just ask how much I need to drop into the joint account and then do it). Neither of us were aware of the expenditures that had been sneaking up on us. We thought we had everything we need to pay for paid for, but instead we have found out we were wrong on that one.
I’m just…mad. We’ve been struggling for the last year and a half to make sure this wedding as low-cost as we could. I had to fight on certain things because I didn’t feel that we needed them, that they just would’ve been nice.
I wish I could make more coherent words on this, but I’m just so goddamn upset. Not at her, not at anyone. I think that’s the worst part of it honestly. That even when you strive to not leave a massive footprint, a small amount of people(45 guests to be specific), an amazingly cheap wedding site and reception site, that we’re still far over the $10k cost that we had tried to keep it under.
I just feel defeated today.

Gofundme please? We all need to get you a wedding present, anyway.

@IoleRae Ehh, I don’t feel all that comfortable asking for help publicly. I feel strange about it. I’ll think about it.

@Testament I’m not gonna say you should do it. I’m just gonna say, @IoleRae makes a good point about wedding presents.

I’ve thought about it, for far longer than I wanted to. Another talk was had about the bills, which bills they are, and how we wanted to consider it. There is a much longer and in-depth story I may tell one day, but suffice it to say, I’ve far too stressed to tell it.
That said, I did take @IoleRae and @Snackness’ points to heart. And, yes, finally swallowing my own damn pride and instead eating some humility on the matter, I created a GoFundMe.
I should note, that I, in no way shape or form expect to reach the goal. But at the same time, the help would be, I admit, sorely needed.
My fiancé doesn’t know I’m doing this, because I know what she’d say. That she’d be embarrassed and feel guilty about it.
So here is the link for it. I’m going to say right away that whatever help people can share, thankful doesn’t really seem to suffice for a word. Regardless, thank you.

No stressful stories required. Happy wedding.
We can’t be there to hand you an envelope for the honeymoon, so this is just that, a little early. Try to think of it that way if you can.Maybe you could share pictures when it’s all done? Put smile stickers over everyone’s faces or whatnot for privacy, but we could see the dress and the moooooooooooooooon in action.

When you overshare but it made sense at the time and look back and go ‘why’. It’s me. This is me. My peeve is me.

I love our little community.

@foksthery I bet a person could make a successful Patreon-funded YouTube channel out of traveling to antique stores, buying the Nazi shit, and destroying it on camera.
And if Patreon doesn’t cover it, I bet a person could make the world’s most spiteful killing by taking photos of the Nazi stuff before smashing it and selling NFTs of it to Nazis.
