So much I want to say... warning in advance that this is going to be long.
I guess it's best to start with the most recently stuff and work backwards.
I had to go to the dentist today. I always dread going even though it's just a cleaning. The hygienist that has been doing my cleanings for years no longer works there. The person I saw today was nice enough, but she seemed a little less friendly than my regular hygienist. She kept telling me to relax my facial features while she worked. She also told me that I couldn't talk while she was taking my blood pressure because it would make it go up.
I had a really rough day at work on Friday. I had to take another assignment than what I had signed up for, because there weren't enough people to cover everything. I tried very hard, but it was obvious that I wasn't the person they wanted in that position as the other people made it quite clear that the person that was out on Friday was going to take the assignment back on Monday. There were also treats that were supposed to be refrigerated, but were left out all week. When I asked about the treats I was told "Oh, we'll just deal with them on Monday." For some reason I decided to take a closer look at the treats and discovered
TW: for bugs
It really made me feel like I was second best.
My dad keeps saying he wants to organize our movies. I've tried telling him several times that they are mostly loosely organized in broad categories, but that's not good enough for him. He wants a catalog or something I guess. We can never agree because he won't listen to when I try to tell him about the categories. We don't need to start from scratch when a lot of the work is already done if he'd just accept it. I was trying to sort out extra copies that we didn't need anymore at one point and then when I wasn't at home, my dad decided to "organize" all of those and put them back on the shelf even though I had already sorted them. To be honest, I lost my motivation to try again after that point. He also took out several VHS tapes "because we don't have a way to play them" including at least one that we haven't been able to get a copy of on Blu Ray/DVD. If I can find the box he put them in they're probably ruined by now.
Sometimes I wish my mom would stand up to my dad and not just let him do whatever he wants.
Loss of a pet coming up in the spoiler. It's nothing too graphic but I wanted to give people the option of skipping over it if they don't want to read.
I logged on to Spotify yesterday and it kept playing 5 or 6 ads in a row and then refused to play the first 3 or 4 songs I selected. Just when I was about to give up on it, it started working. It seemed like it wanted me to listen to the songs Spotify picked for me instead of what I wanted.
Sorry about the baby shrimp, BC.
I got rejected from a Facebook group because I didn't have enough of the right brand of diamond paintings. It was a selling/destash group, but nothing was posted about that in the description until after my request was denied.

some of the treats were moldy and had bugs crawling on them

My elderly dog died in April. I still miss her. She started rattling and I knew she was dying. By the time she started getting really bad, the vets were closing and my parents would have had to pay an emergency vet extra to stop her suffering. We decided to see if she would die on her own during the night or make it to the next morning. She kept crying/yipping every few minutes except for the one time she fell asleep. She was usually very quiet, so for her to be that vocal made me wonder if she was in pain or hurting. She survived the night and my parents took her to be put to sleep the next morning.

I hope that means more leaves will appear soon. I've been a little worried about the Ficus since it was so long before it was showing signs of life.
It's either Girls/Boys, Young Ladies, and Women's/Men's. Oh an socks/undergarments/sleepwear lol
I've eaten a lot of fruit snacks and that's never happened before.
Maybe the words will eventually find me again.
