Wow, that's horrible! Did you get a security deposit?


My neck hurts again. Thankfully, the heating pad helps. It's just awkward using it sitting in my desk chair than say, lying down in bed.

I tried to pay my electric bill but it won't go through online. It just endlessly tries to load the page. I can pay by phone it says, but I've never done that before. The bill is due Monday and I'm going to wait and call them then incase I run into another problem.

I need to switch phone carriers. AT&T is too expensive. I'm looking at Visible, which is kind of funny, because that's Verizon and I'm pretty sure AT&T owns Verizon? I might call AT&T first and see if they can get me a cheaper plan but from what I can see online I'm already in the cheapest one, so we'll see.

I have a bad habit of scratching myself too hard and leaving marks. I cut my nails super short but still manage to hurt myself. I scratched the back of my neck last night until it started to bleed and then it was really burning -_-

There was dried blood in my ear this morning again too.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow US citizens!

Unfortunately, I didn't get that pizza yesterday. I thought I had more money, so I made some pasta instead. It's a comfort food.

I am unable to visit my mom today but we talked and I'll call later too.

I got some stuff to make green bean casserole for myself and I'm going to make a cherry pie to share with my mom when I do see her. She doesn't like pumpkin, apple or pecan and they never serve cherry.

Alien: Romulus 5/10. A solid "meh".

I've been a fan of the Alien films since I was a kid but I seem to be a big outlier in the fandom. My favorites are Aliens and Resurrection and I love the first AvP. I'm also a big fan of the David character and like those films, despite the issues. I will forever be disappointed we didn't get the conclusion to his story. As far as Romulus goes, spoilers:

Spoiler

I didn't like that Kay was nothing but a plot device. Sure, lots of characters are, but they are usually written so it's not obvious. There was absolutely nothing to Kay except 'we need her for the big baby creature'. And speaking of, I couldn't take that thing seriously, it was almost comical. I would like to see a Newborn vs Offspring fight though :lol:

I did like the Andy character and the scene with the acid in Zero G was neat. Overall, I thought it was very bland and forgettable.

Also, is there some sort of copywright issue going on? Why did they call Ash Rook? I know its his last name, but no one ever called him that. And I have to look up who Yutaini is, or whatever. When was Weyland merged?

My morning was awful -_-

I had a Walmart delivery to my mom, some chocolate and drinks. Walmart used to have you sign for stuff, but they had issues with drivers signing themselves and not actually delivering the goods. So now you get a 4 digit passcode that you need to give to the driver to complete the delivery.

I always get the passcode texted to me.

Well, not today!

For reasons unknown, the passcode was nowhere to be found. Email? No. Spam folder? No. Text? No. On the order page? No. No, no NO!

I call customer service, of course, I get someone with a heavy accent and can't understand (it's me, I have a hard time understanding people on the phone even without an accent). I also JUST woke up and I am one of those people who needs like an hour to actually "wake up" after waking up. So I am very irritated and discombobulated. After explaining the problem she puts me on hold, and because my brain isn't working I accidentally hang up.

Call again!

Get a different (same accent) person. Go over my issue again. I need the passcode. Put on hold again, for like 15 minutes. She comes back, we can't help you, you need to call Spark customer service. Wtf is Spark? It's the driving company for Walmart. Here is the number.

Call number. Am confronted with a "driver ID input". Can't get it to connect me to a person.

I text the driver who dropped off the delivery. I say it's an issue with Spark and the number went nowhere helpful. Driver says okay.

Half hour later, the delivery finally completes. My mom gets her stuff. I have no idea how it was resolved. I'm assuming the driver called Spark and got the code from them.

It was way too much for me to take on after waking up. I can't do phone calls even when I'm prepared. My battery is totally drained. I tried going back to sleep but I'm hungry. So I'm gonna get a pizza, stuff myself and hopefully sleep the rest of the day.

That all sounds so good, Griffin!


I'm gonna order a pizza. I had a very rough "morning" (I woke up around 10) and feel like my battery is already drained for the day.

Wow! You've been doing so much stuff. Congrats on raising so much for the faire!

I feel pretty good today, at least right now. The weather is nice, cool but not chilly. I need to clean the bathroom and do the litter boxes. I have to buy another big bag of litter. I've been getting little ones but one bag only covers one box and they are getting too shallow.

I can't read the article but does this mean there won't be any more MLP movies?

To be honest, the G5 MLP game looks pretty cute. I have it on my Epic wish list and hope to snag it on sale one day.

No, only yoga, but my balance is so bad I can't do a lot of it.

My anxiety is a little better and I've been able to sleep again.

Sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch :hug:
