My daughter has been in so much pain. You touch her leg wrong and she'll be almost ready to cry. It's almost like the revelation of her diagnosis has magically exacerbated the problem. I carry her around like a baby 50% of the time now since every movement hurts and her ability to walk is deteriorating. WHY TF are appointments for an RA specialist so far apart??? The earliest appointment we could get is for March 19th - and we made this appt at the end of January. The next slot after that is in late April.
My classes start March 16th so I'll be missing my first day within the same week of it starting because we simply have to see this doctor. And, please, don't waste our time with further confirmation of her diagnosis just to make us come back later for actual treatment - DO SOMETHING NOW.

What to call her, since ‘refugee’ isn’t really appropriate anymore? We’ll call her S. So S is the only one in this hour who isn’t single, and her and her girlfriend are absurdly cheesy. Which, they seem to be trying to tone it down out of mindfulness that it is Singles Awareness Day, after all, but they can’t help themselves. So they have plans tonight. I hope they hurry the fuck up and get on with them, because between that and her girlfriend trying to butter me up because I haven’t answered their question yet of whether or not they can live here together for a bit after they graduate, it’s just a bit much.

I signed up for a single moms group and I'm finding them either annoying or boring. Doesn't anyone in that group have anything better to talk about than wishing they could go out and get drunk or laid? I've been bleeding for the past 2 weeks. I'd be glad to be done with that and to be able to sleep regularly for several solid straight hours, instead of in 30 minute-1 hour increments.

I should have bought anxiety medication for air travel last time I was overseas. I remember the pharmacy in Thailand was trying to give me a white pill " for the plane " and it was cheap. I think it was a generic xanax and I wish I would have bought a dozen.

I bought these shitty rain boots from ebay, they leak. Bought in Oct. just wore them for the first time a couple weeks ago.
I contacted the seller, who asked if there was a hole, & I did no but they leak.
Contacted again, they blew me off, so I opened a case.
PayPal said I have to return them pay for the shipping?? Dont think so, they're defective, & they're in China!

You have to do what PayPal recommends since they are the mediator of sorts. Otherwise they will side with the seller.
Most times returning items means you’ll get partial refund - the amount you paid minus shipping fees. small companies cannot afford to give total refunds and they are supposed to clearly say that in their terms/policies (If PayPal see their terms laid out then it’s easier for them to side with seller. If it’s a larger company they can eat the loses easier and will either send replacement or refund the full amount for items that are proven to be defective.

Well thanks.
I'm not paying the return shipping fees.
The item is defective, it's their issue so they need to send me a shipping label.
What their status is of their company isn't my problem.
I sold lots of stuff on ebay, I always made good w/my merch, I had to eat many expenses & they can do the same.
What's the point of me spending as much or more in overseas shopping fees.
I just talked to ebay & she said I was right..
I'll have to contact PP when they're open.

My bad
I meant to say if I were you I’d review the sellers policies. A smaller company may go through the process of disputing your claim vs a larger company who will just take the loss and keep it moving. Could be this company’s policies are that for defects you either get a replacement or partial refund. Idk.
The point of giving partial refunds is dissuade people from being returning items with expensive shipping costs/shipping costs that exceed the price of the item - because it would make it difficult for business of any size to make profit (except Walmart or amazon)
However you mentioned your item did not work as described so it is possible PayPal may side with you (despite them initially saying you’d have to send the item back and pay return shipping) after they get all the facts from you.
Anyhow i understand how it would be disappointment to get an item and it’s not what you expected. Hopefully you’ll find a resolution

Yes! I consider myself an expert traveler ( in terms of planning / experience being on the road ). I hate the constriction of plane travel.
I am getting medication soon and will report back but I might have to do this flight without it. When I self medication with a cannabis edible it was a disaster. I felt SO panicked during the boarding process .

I am queen of the potheads and I don't fuck with edibles while flying. It makes my flight anxiety worse! I have to take Valium/Xanax.

I had a homeless guy jump on my car. Now I really don’t want to fuck with homeless people at all. What do you do when you see a homeless person? Do you give them money, food, etc. I feel really bad, but I don’t want to give them money either. That’s why I was thinking of volunteering at the soup kitchen or something. I want to help them, but I don’t want to put myself in a bad situation. Are most people homeless because of their own karma (karma meaning cause and effect not necessarily blaming them because who am I to judge). My rule was I don’t ever help homeless men, but I do help homeless women because they are usually victims of domestic violence.

I think a good percentage of homeless are on drugs.
Its tough to be in the street life and not have a roof over head. I’d probably do hella drugs to mentally escape the homeless life too but then again with it being so dangerous maybe i wouldn’t cause I’d need to be alert to danger.
My point was maybe he was on some drugs. Sounds like bath salts
youre right though. Sadly when you try to help someone else especially if you don’t know them is when you are in a vulnerable position to an unsavory person

Omg, I could frickin' punch my older daughter's dad in the face so hard if I could! He sent her back with stomach flu, knowing full well that she had a fever and nausea. They were sick at his house. Of course he doesn't say anything until she's here puking all over the place. I hate this because even though she's 10, she still throws up everywhere but in the toilet or trash can. I'm also pissed because I have her 2 week old baby sister here. It's hard enough caring for a baby alone. Add a 10 year old with stomach flu to the mix and I'm feeling so overwhelmed. I had to run back and forth between the living room couch where my 10 year old was and my bedroom where baby is. Older daughter finally stopped getting sick and went to sleep. I can't sleep because every time I close my eyes, the baby needs me. How in the world do single moms with 3 or more kids survive? I'm exhausted.

I swear, my husband's thought process about what to eat doesn't extend beyond 1) eat out, 2) Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or 3) Make mac and cheese - of which he'll stash the leftovers in the fridge next to the other 3 containers of old, leftover mac and cheese, and never eat it. No matter how many times I tell him that I'm putting food in the fridge JUST FOR HIM, he never eats it. He'll constantly make stuff for the kids, never serves them the leftovers, and then never eats it himself. I'm tired of going into the fridge every other week, not having any room to store my weekly meal prep, and then discovering that he hasn't touched shit in 2 weeks that he swore he'd eat when I asked him about it.
It's like once it's in tupperware, it doesn't exist to him anymore. There's a never a point where he bends down and checks out to see what's already in the fridge before he defaults to one of those 3 things... -_-

Got cut an hour short from part-time job last night after missing those hours from a full shift last week. The power-surged, and even when the lights came back on, nothing else worked. The new manager had no idea how to reset things so he just sent me home... Other part-time job finally opened up the schedule to fill the rest of the month, but all that's available for me is 12 hours a week, which isn't an insignificant drop from the 20+ I'm used to.

Getting denied from a vanilla job interview is so insulting. They just flat out ghost you sometimes. This time they closed the interview process and reopened the position online meaning I did not get the job instead of sending me a courteous email that I didn't get the position. I spent hours getting ready and drove an hour for the interview. Least they could do is send an email for me to look elsewhere.
Truth to this. I'm getting so tired of being told how "unprofessional" us millennials are in the workforce when I think I've received a proper rejection from ONE job in the many that I've applied/interviewed with over the past several years. So many people have offered me interviews, then ghosted me when I tried to actually set them up. Others interview me, tell me that they'll let me know either way, and then never contact me again. Even the part-time job I actually got did that to someone else who applied for the position and also interviewed. He talked to me about it one day while I was out working - he assumed it was a mix-up with his phone number, but I think it's just because they liked me for it better, hired me, and then never bothered to tell him. The only reason I have the job at the company I'm with now is because I wanted it badly enough that I re-contacted them after they initially blew me off for a phone interview that we had set up - and even then, they called a day late the second time.
I understand that in this age of electronic applications, not everyone out of possibly hundreds of applicants is gonna be told they didn't even make the cut for an interview. But once you talk to someone/set something up/interview, where's the courtesy?

Petty annoyed that- my state has plenty of budget surplus but refuses to earmark it for hiring and training Emergency Responder personnel. Instead they have tug-at-heartstrings commercials where they ask people if they'd like to consider being a volunteer firefighter.
This is awful b/c 1) the public is better served by well trained EMS and 2) it's not like they can't allocate funding. The appeal to people's desire to help other & to exploit that to save money that really isn't in need of being held back (to me) is so dumb.

Was really trying to self-care today and take the afternoon off before work tonight and relax without being hard on myself for not working. I was just starting to feel kinda ok when work emailed to give me shit about not being able to be in the office for floor time today. Which never yields anything for me anyway and I guarantee I missed nothing. But of course they had to make me feel like crap again. I’ll be busy the rest of the week and weekend with no downtime to myself, and now I’m not particularly looking forward to jumping out of bed on Monday morning, ready to go back in there and give them 110%.

I was having a very nice evening walk with my little boy and some TOTAL ASSHOLE ALMOST RAN HIM OVER. So being the extraordinarily well adjusted person I am, I dragged my poor dog down the street so I could catch up with this lovely person before they went inside or left (I knew it was a dead-end street). And he refused to apologize so I took pictures of his license plate and house number. Good thing I don't have a life so I am 100% dedicated and happy to spend all my time destroying this person. It looked like a construction vehicle, so I am hoping his plate number will give me a company name and I can go from there. Wish me luck!
I almost feel sorry for that guy. I hope you fuck him up good!

The soreness went away for the most part & I can talk, but the sounds 'catch' sometimes & I keep constantly swallowing.

I am so annoyed with my upstairs neighbor. Every time I put the baby back in her bassinet after feeding, changing, etc once she's asleep, the neighbor drops what sounds like a fucking bowling ball on the floor and baby wakes back up. I've barely been able to get anything done today. Baby has been fussy lately with reflux issues so when I finally get her to sleep, it's a big deal to me. I have to take advantage of any free time that I have. I took a shower and when I got out the baby was crying hysterically because upstairs neighbor had the dropping bowling ball sound repeatedly happening and was hammering something. I was hoping to create some new fetish clips for my Indiebill after my shower, while baby was asleep. Once I got her calmed down and back to sleep, 2 minutes into filming, dumb ass upstairs dropped several loud objects on to the floor, loudly slammed a door, unleashed an angry elephant stampede in her apartment, and the baby woke up again and started crying. 5 more months on this lease. Next time I am either getting a rental house or a townhouse. I hate having upstairs neighbors. I seem to always end up with upstairs neighbors who have home bowling alleys, pet elephants, and a fondness for dropping bowling balls on wood floors, rolling heavy beer kegs, dropping loud objects, hammering at all hours of the night, and putting their cell phone on vibrate and placing it on the floor above whatever room I happen to be in. I typed this all one-handed because I have a fussy baby in my other arm.
