The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Taffeta]

MintyMagic, that sounds terrible. He must be so scared with all this going on, and for his daughter to have to deal with it as well must be super stressful. It's great you and your family are around, but yeah, someone else should be intervening before something happens :/ I hope the daughter manages to find a way to do that.

My trivial complaints today...

My parents preordered plush Medley for me for my birthday back in February. Today the order got cancelled. Not sure what is going to happen now :/ Still, annoyed because two days ago we got a dispatch date and now...bleh.

My arms are still aching from our trip to the garden centre, because we were waiting for the taxi, and I wanted to leave items in the trolley until the taxi came, but Dad thought it was coming quicker than it did...so...holding heavy plants for a looong time....

Oh, and super trivial, but I still can't find one of my G1 MH dolls. I know I have her. I remember buying her and I found the email receipt to prove it. I just am not sure where I've put her.

@Ponyfan, maybe it's because the UK is a small country compared to the US, but I actually tend to know timezones in a few places. I know the continent (European mainland) is generally +1 and Finland is +2, so is the nearest part of Russia. I know India is +4.5 because one of my best friends lives in Delhi. I know the east coast of the US is -5 because I have friends there, and all across the US to +8 on the west coast. And when I was in Japan, it was +9 when I arrived and +8 when I left because daylight saving isn't a thing there but it is here. I always feel like it's fascinating how we live in each other's pasts and futures

The weather app I use is set to my location, my hometown and Death Valley

My complaint, I'm having trouble with my eyes again. They are very goopy and my right eyelid keeps twitching.

I hate having anxiety. It's so hard always second guessing myself and wondering all the time if I did the right or wrong thing.

Waiting for two packagers to arrive. One said it was due today but no doorbell... or knock... I'll expect it either later or Tuesday then as Monday is a holiday

I have to sneeze but it keeps getting stuck.

I LOVE making beef quarter pounders (well, 'make', they're frozen I just cook them) but MAN do they STINK and the amount of grease that comes out of them into the grill pan ... every single time I need to deep scrub the cooking utensils and pan after making them.

Talk of blood draws under the cut for people who don't like to read medical things

Spoiler

I gave blood and when trying to get samples from my fingertip, they squeezed pretty hard twice (as the first reading was low). They eventually went to an arm test which showed far better results, but they had to take from the arm that doesn't normally have blood drawn (it can't be the same arm I usually donate/get samples from) so the veins decided to all hide and it took TWO nurses to find one. My middle finger is REALLY tender now and I KEEP forgetting about it and hurting myself when I grab things, and my poor right arm has a nasty needle-bruise.

(My left arm was easy peasy to get a vein, but it also meant for the rest of the day I couldn't carry heavy things)

My stuck sneeze is still trying to make an appearance and now I have a bad sinus headache. The UVB is super high today too and the light hurts my eyes.

Update one package arrived later that day.

Frostbite yep jabs can hurt & weaken you xxx A pal I saw today had an injection Friday & her jab site still hurts now xxx

I think I burned myself on the air fryer again, on BOTH sides of my right hand!!! I have two sore nasty-looking spots of ouch... Sacrifice to the cooking gods I suppose

urgh I don't want to go to work tomorrow... lots of people have Easter Monday off but we do not, and I hate when people say we should.  It doesn't make it any better! *grump* 

At least our Easter dinner managed to happen but not without my husband taking over and saving the day.  The glass pan I was cooking the ham in, decided to explode in the oven!  thankfully no glass in the food but so upsetting!

My kettle died last night. I can live until getting loot tomorrow & get a new one, but that still leaves the old one to go out

when i was outside yesterday i noticed the oak tree branches are now growing above the house. so we need to fast track getting it trimmed back. the branches are actually growing over our bedroom so not good for storm season. i just need to wait on the tax refund to come back.

it makes me nervous to have it trimmed just because it's old and it's not 100% on my property. the trunk actually sits between 2 of my neighbor's fences. the home builders built the fence to accommodate it. it's a really beautiful tree.

When everything is going right and moving along and you feel good about stuff... and then, just like that, something bad happens.

Could I have like, a week off bad stuff? One time? Give me a week.

argh the immense amount of ice we had build up has almost ripped our gutter off the side of the house... just wonderful....

[BlackCurtains]

Ow my leg really hurts today.
