I also did not look up into the sky outside.  But I had awesome sleep which hasn't happened for the longest time.

I couldn't stay up to see if it happened again last night

Last two weekends for the flea market have been a wash out nothing but rain so far, hope to go next week.

I was planning to visit my mom today, but my stomach is acting up. Of course she had to "pick on me" (which to me is bullying) and made me feel bad even though I'm supposed to laugh. Yeah, call me a PITA, that's sooooooo funny. She also got on me about not sending flowers, but the last time I sent flowers all she did was complain about them. I can't win

sewing clothing for OB11 dolls is so tiny and my hands cramp!  ARGH 
(think Kelly from Barbie, or Nendoroids if you like anime figures)

My grocery delivery was supposed to be 8pm, I thought I saw it outside but they disappeared ... then I got a text saying it was coming 7am tomorrow because of problems??? Then 20 minutes later it arrived?! And then there were none of my frozen things in it and my fizzy juice likely had a spill from other crates and smelt rotten

I always seem to end up tired, hungry, & sore after a walk!!!
Also I'm waiting for a parcel, & because I'm up here, it's delayed.
Oh & the bank refused a Paypal payment, which means I can't use Paypal until I refill the balance manually

My 2 liter of Pepsi that I just opened a day ago is flat already.

I asked to join a group on Facebook and got a message that I was approved, but when I go to the group it says the admins are still reviewing my request and I can't post. It's a Frasier TV show fan group.

I think my baby shrimp are dead

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

 

Spoiler

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

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.

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 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.

*huggles*  i am sorry to hear about your dog!   always the worst, especially when you have to convince other people that it's time to let go and they are not ready.

I'm sorry about your dog. You gave her a great life

Your dad sounds so much like mine! My dad's thing was the garage. He was always moving things around and "organizing" them and none of it was his. One year he buried all the holiday decoration bins in the back and piled other bins and boxes in front of them. Me and my sister got so mad and we refused to dig them out. So whenever there was a holiday my dad would ask why we weren't decorating and we had to remind him that he buried the bins and made them impossible to get out.

My mom got rid of all of our VHS too. It was after I moved out, otherwise I would have taken them. We had most original Disney Clamshells including The Little Mermaid with the willy tower A lot of the VHS were box sets too, and those are so hard to find now and really expensive. I was upset she got rid of them.

I got a set of dragon molds for resin and there's a tiny hole in one of them.    I contacted the seller so we'll see what they say.  Hopefully it's an easy fix.  They're super cute and I don't want to have to worry about leaking or the hole getting bigger every time I try to use it.
