@Annie  I'm so sorry. :(

@Black Curtains  I'm sorry that your new water filter isn't working.  My parents bought a bathmat that they thought would be better than the cheap one they had bought because it had the Clorox name on it.  The cheap bathmat lasted a long time.  The Clorox mat starting falling apart within a few uses. :(

I'm still fighting the sinus infection.  It's a little strange because there will be times that I think I'm getting better and suddenly I'll feel really sick and lousy again.  The last 2 mornings I haven't wanted to get out of bed.  That's pretty unusual for me because even when I don't feel well I don't stay in bed unless I am really sick. 

I'm hoping to be able to return to work this week but feeling fine one minute and sick the next isn't helping. :(

My complaint don't feel very trivial but I still feel like writing...
So far 2022 is not treating me or my family kindly.
First 2-3 weeks of January I was down with Covid-19. It wasn´t so bad actually but I was very annoyed with the fever and all the coughing that never seemed to stop.
 
But then last week my father died very suddenly by sepsis. It only took a couple of days from being relatively healthy to just pass away because the bacteria basically ate up his heart valves....The doctors said it was an extremely aggressive bacteria and they tried an operation to transplant new heart valves but his body was already too weak and he died the night after surgery. Apparently the first symptoms could be just a common cold which seemed to be the case. But he was very careful and tested for covid and since he was negativ none of us thought much of it more than it was a common cold....
He died 29th of January and was going to retire from work on the first of February. Had his 65th birthday while in emergency care....
This is of course a huge chock for me and the family... None of us even had a chance to talk to him or to say goodbye because he got sick so fast.... He wasn't my biological father but he did officially adopt me and was very proud of that....
Now my days seems to be most about helping out mom and supporting her with all the paperwork and stuff that needs to be fixed and prepare for the funeral.
Everything is just unreal...

And if that´s not enough, my moms dog slipped on the ice injuring his back. Took him to the vet earlier today and they took some X-rays. Seems like there´s no option then to put him down now since his lower spine is injured and he can´t really move his back legs properly... He´s just the biggest (Shiloh Shepherd) and sweetest dog ever. I don´t think I ever meet a dog with such a loving temperament so it pains me to see him go and also leaving mom all alone in her house now....

Right now I'm mostly exhausted but I hope things will look better... All I can do is to continue to support mom and the rest of the family...
And I am ever so thankful for my beloved fiance. He is the best support I could ever wish for!
:sad: :sad: :sad: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

This is the second day in a row that I've had a headache wanting to turn into a migraine. Feels like there's a spike in my temples. I'm also nauseous which is a sure sign a migraine is on the way. I need to walk to the office and drop off my rent check... I wish I could pay it online but they charge a fee to do so. I also need to clean the bathroom and bedroom so I'm fighting it. I think it might be winning though.

Some dude was in the parking lot revving his motorcycle this morning. It was highly annoying. I like to lie in bed after waking up and listen to the birds for a while, but I had to leave my room because he kept doing it. I think it's the same guy that goes up and down the main street sometimes. His bike is really loud.

This sinus infection feels almost like when I have a bad case of bronchitis except I'm not coughing.  My mom figured yesterday that the antibiotics are part of the reason I still feel bad. I start feeling worse after I take one.  The pharmacy told me there wasn't much of a difference between these and the ones my dr originally wrote the prescription for but now I'm starting to wonder if these are making me feel worse because they aren't exactly the same thing.  I need to figure out my bank balance but it's so hard to be motivated to complete everyday tasks right now.

Also, I'm hoping it's because I'm fighting this sinus infection but some of my dad's comments are really getting to me. He keeps saying things like "If you had a better job you wouldn't be sick as much."   My job isn't the best and I'm trying to find something better but comments like that just rub me the wrong way. I think he means  it to be encouraging but to me it just sounds condescending. :(  I can't confront him about it because he would just get mad and hold a grudge for me saying something about it.

@BlackCurtains I'm sorry you're dealing with a migraine.

Annie : that's not trivial at all, oh I am very sorry to hear your news :(  *pony hugs*

I don't know if I have any trivial complaints... everything is serious and I'm just so tired.  >.<

Thanks Ponyfan, it eventually went away. I'm sorry you have a bad sinus infection. I get those too, they suck.

--

So this is super trivial and very First World Problems but Domino's Pizza made a change I do not like. It used to be, if you used the $5 mix and match coupon, you could upgrade your pizza to a specialty for 3 dollars more, and still get a discount. I always got the Wisconsin 6 Cheese and a veggie sandwich and my total would be like 24 bucks including tip. They've taken that option away. They have zero deals for the specialty pizzas and a Wisconsin 6 Cheese by itself is over 18 dollars! Yes, it's less than what I would pay before, but I got two things and a discount! It's not the same! That's freakin' expensive for a pizza!

I've been getting calls for three days now about every hour. The locations are always different but the call is the same. I answer and there's a weird noise like a gurgling and then a robot voice says goodbye and then hangs up. It's driving me crazy and I'm beginning to hate my ring tone.

I don't want to sound like a paranoid conspiracy nut but what's the deal? Are they getting information from me/my phone when I answer? What's the weird sound? It's like I'm being called by a numbers station or something.

I thought I had began to get a chronic bladder condition but symptoms are absolutely minimal and seem to have gone away after: Walking around. -_- Just have to figure out how to get this exercise when the weather cools down again. At least the virtual running club challenge is a good motivator, but I feel stupid.

 :yikes: It's weird and even a little scary. Maybe it's better not to just answer and put the phone to silent? Or can you put that caller's number on your phone's blocking list?
Sometimes I get calls from unknown numbers myself, but I never answer them.

I only answered it a few times, mainly out of frustration. I can't block them either because it's a different number each time. But I have some good news, the calls stopped today. It might be because it's Saturday, since I usually only get robo calls and other spam during the week. Guess we'll see come Monday.

turns out my landlord is going to charge around $600 for a cleaning fee when we move out. and we still need to clean before we move out. we already paid a pet deposit. when i asked how much the cleaning would cost the realtor started going on about how prices for cleaning have gone up because inflation so she couldn't even give us a definite price. they're just going to take it out of the security deposit so who knows. apparently it's in the lease but i don't remember seeing it. we moved in such a hurry 2 years because of covid so maybe i didn't notice and it's not like we had much choice anyway. i hate renting so much.
