The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Beth3346]

thanks everyone my dad arranged for a healthcare worker to come for a few hours each day to help my mom. we're trying to keep her as comfortable as we can. i'll go by on the weekend. i'm worried about my dad. i think the reality of the situation is sinking in.

also, i've been looking at coverage of the fires in LA. knowing that the incoming administration is most likely going to make decisions that make climate change worse makes me want to scream. i feel so helpless and defeated.

I've taken a turn for the worse.

And I'm pissed/depressed because I paid $100 to keep my power on and I just got an email saying I need to pay the other 100 or they'll cut me off Monday. Why did I bother getting the extension if they really meant I had to pay all of it??? I don't have the money.

Well that sucks Is there any possibility that the information about your extension didn't go through to the dept responsible for the bills? Mistakes like that aren't uncommon unfortunately.

My original extension was until the 9th and I paid on the 8th. I called and through the auto menu I requested another extension for the other $100 and I have til the 29th. It said that I might incur another deposit though. They stuck me with one for $173, that is in addition to the $200 I had/have to pay. My old deposit, which was 150, was credited to my account because I always paid on time, so I didn't have a deposit on my account at all. You would think, and this is me being a decent human and not a company, that my past good payment behavior would tell those in charge that maaaaybe something isn't right and they should not ADD money on top of the money I do not have to pay. But, what do I know?

My phone and internet bills are also overdue, by the way. So far neither has threatened me.

Also I am running out of food! And the food bank isn't coming here this month. I could go out to another, but that costs money too since we have no public transit.

I ran out of my meds and have just enough money in my account to pay for them and they are more important.

I'm feeling better after sleeping for a long time, so when the sun comes out I'm going to finally take pics of the ponies and dolls I need to sell. If I'm still feeling okay, I can dig out some stuff from the closet to sell too.

My uncle already gave me $250, which went toward my rent and electric leaving me with $26. My meds are $12. Next Wednsday he'll send another $250, but that has to go to my phone and internet. I can't ask him for more. My mom doesn't have any... well, she does. But it's her money for her treats and stuff, I don't want to use it. She doesn't know any of this, btw.

I need a longer term plan to make money.

I hate when I'm super hungry all day, and when I finally GO get food and eat, I'm suddenly feeling sick  I know it will calm down but still, I'm kinda scared to move fro fear of upsetting my suddenly overburdened stomach even more!

[Beth3346]

i really don't like work drama. it's the weekend and it still finds me

[BlackCurtains]

So I wasn't feeling all that better after all. I slept for a really long time again. My symptoms have changed and I don't know if that's a good sign or not.

I never got around to taking those pics or doing my laundry, which I really have to do because I'm out of pants (don't have that many to begin with) and it's going to get really cold again. It's warmer today and will be tomorrow but then it goes back to the 40s at night. Aster was actually snuggling me last night.

I found a church that might be able to help with my electric bill, but I have to go there in person. I really think places need to move away from that idea. Why can't I send my docs by email and do everything over the phone? Why do I need to be there in person? I need a billed paid, not an organ.

[BlackCurtains]

I don't know what's going on with me. I think I must be much sicker than I think I am. I slept for a really long time and can't remember even going to bed. My head hurts, I'm dizzy, my eyes can't focus. I feel awful.

[Beth3346]

i can't focus today
