The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Ponyfan]

Not trivial, but I don't want to start a new thread.

I'm putting it in spoiler tags, but it's nothing too graphic.  I do talk about skin issues such raised itchy patches and skin peeling.

Spoiler

Something's wrong with my skin.  I thought at first it was eczema or friction from my Fitbit band, but now I think something else is going on.  My skin has been peeling off in sheets.  Not super large pieces, but pieces bigger than usual.  I know skin sheds from time to time in different places, but this is happening in the same area every other day.  When the skin comes off, the skin underneath is red and itchy. 

I also have a weird place on my foot that I thought was a blister, but it hasn't healed yet.

The Raynauds is acting up in my right hand more than my left (possibly because it's more stationary on the mouse most of the time) so a sure sign winter is here, if the reduced daylight didn't do that for me 

I have a particular colour of glitter pen I use for special occasions, and I couldn't find a replacement that was the right colour OR was the right colour but without glitter. I spent money on two pens I thought might be a good match; one is far too light and dries a baby-shade and the other is dark and thick ink that is unsuitable for my writing style.

... I found a pack of pens in a discount store for 99p that had a pen in it the right colour and glittery  Like, I'm happy I have the right pen but man I wish I hadn't spent that money first!

My skin is also in an awful state. I think it's because of my thyroid. I'm so itchy. I also burned the underside of my forearm on the oven door. It's healing okay, but one of the blisters popped and MAN did it hurt. I had to put a bandage on it, but the bandage also gives me skin issues. I can't win.

I can't use Band Aid products because I'm allergic to latex and they must have traces of it in them since they make me itchy every time.

I showed my dr the place that's irritated and he said it's an allergic reaction to something.

Very trivial but I'm watching Hulu and the show is playing fine, which is good, but when the ads come on it keeps freezing and restarting. I hate the ads when they are working but this is even worse.

I was feeling sick all day but I finally ate a can of Spaghetti-Os. I'm regretting it.

my downstairs tenants woke me up at 6am for an emergency that really requires ambulance and the hospital, but they don't want to call because there will be a bill...  fine whatever, that's your right to decline treatment, just don't die in my house.

I woke up with bad stomach pain.  It was so bad that I was  literally almost crying and screaming from the intensity.

I'm sorry, Ponyfan. I hope you feel better.

I have a bad headache. I was asleep and my doorbell woke me up, at least I think it did. By the time I got to the door, no one was there, so I might have dreamed it.

I've been trying to sell two gold rings on eBay for a while. They were from an old relationship and I don't know why I kept them so long. Anyway, they were both bought in the early 2000s at a local store in South Carolina. They are 10k solid gold and one has a small diamond. I'm asking under $100 for each, but people keep messaging me wanting a lower price, as low as $40! Gold is at an all time high right now. I know how much was paid when the rings were bought, and I'm certainly not going to sell them for lower in 2024!

[Taffeta]

Feel better both!!

This is super trivial, but I had to work an afternoon shift today and I really don't like doing that. You can't get anything done in the morning because our bus is so infrequent that it's hard enough fitting in lunch.

Thanks BC and Taffeta.    The pain went away.

I tried to load an unused Google Play card on my Android tablet and got a message that "Google needs more details" before accepting the code.   I thought maybe it was because I hadn't been on my Android tablet much, but the card should have been good.  The more details includes a pic of the front and back of the card, a pic of the receipt (that my mom no longer has) and other info.  Then Google decides if they think the card is good or not and their decision is final.  I goggled it, and this has been happening to a lot of people with prepaid Google cards.  It if doesn't work, that's money that was wasted.  I know it's partly my fault for letting the cards sit so long, but I literally revealed the code right before I tried to use it so it should have worked.  So frustrating when it should be so simple.

I also had a dream the other night that I wasn't wearing clothes in public.  I know that would never happen in real life, but it's rare that I dream about that stuff.

I really need groceries but there's no money.

I was looking around at the food pantries, but I feel so self conscious using them because I'm fat I feel like people will think I'm just there to get free food and I don't actually need it.

Also transportation continues to be a problem.

Fat or not you still need to eat. Starving causes the body to hold onto fat more...
I hate how sore I get after lying down for a long time. I wake up with sore hips & an ache in my lower back. It's why I started exercising... The problem is, it's not improving...

My thumb hurts. I don't know what happened to it but I can't bend it.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

my leg flared up again... ohhhhh so sick of this

[BlackCurtains]

My thumb still hurts.

I've felt very hot yesterday and today. Like internally. I had the fan on earlier but had to turn it down because it was cold but I still felt overheated somehow.
