Ah Eileen you are so kind helping your friend out. It appears your friend is taking advantage of you.
It’s time to say no and have your car back. You need it just as much.
Sometimes ( and I do this) we want to help but we end up making our own life difficult.
Often end up doing things at the detriment of our own health or well being.
I have started saying no much more and I feel better for not doing things I know I shouldn’t or don’t want to.
Put yourself first. It will feel strange at first but you will feel better.
Good luck and always remember we are all here for you 🥰
 
Even if it was a 7 year old, you find a way to get them to school. I’d say don’t lend your car to your friend again. She doesn’t seem to understand that it’s you doing her a favour and not the other way round 🧐
 
Next door is having work done on the house. It's noisy and a pain in the bum when they're drilling at 8.45am in the morning but if that was my only problem, we'd be set. Instead, one of them is putting their rubbish in my bin. And in my paper bin, no less. Lazy *****s, there's bins for the house right there in the garden and because the house has been empty for a bit, it's not like they're overflowing. But no. Instead of walking for 30 seconds to their own bins and back, it's walk 20 seconds and use mine instead.
 
I'm really frustrated right now and want to scream and cry all at the same time. My youngest child is low functioning autistic and needs additional resources that the government will help pay for, but you have to apply for it. I sent in the initial application in November of 2020 and I am STILL working on it. They have lost his paperwork a few times so I have to keep resending it (I have even sent it as certified mail so someone has to sign for it). I just had a phone interview on Wednesday last week and I got a letter saying I missed the appointment! I called their office up and apparently the person interviewing me marked it as "No show" rather than "Complete". The lady on the phone said she can't mark it as complete, so I have to do the interview again! :hb:😭 At least I got to pick the day and time (tomorrow). I'm hoping that we will be done with this soon and find out if my child has been accepted or not.

It's so frustrating, I don't know of any system that works well when trying to get support or funding for support, it shouldn't be this difficult, especially as we now live in a world where these things are not so unusual anymore.
 
I almost broke the smoke alarm.

Now, yes, it's a bit of a pain that after a few weeks of silence it's gone off twice today, and since I didn't vape at all between the first and second alarms it can't be that, even through the door. So what's the difference?

I opened the blinds in the goblin room.

I really can't win. But also in trying to get the stupid thing to shut up I managed to hit it several times before getting the broom handle to poke the button.

THIRD TIME. IT'S JUST GONE OFF FOR THE THIRD TIME. Groan.
 
Had a rubbish week. Lots of little things going off.

This morning, facebook was working no problem on my phone. This afternoon after finishing work, facebook has logged me out for some reason. I can't remember my password, my email apparently doesn't match anything and to get a new passcode for my login it will apparently send one to my uni emails that I took off years ago.

Obviously facebook isn't a necessity but its topped my week of lovely and I don't know how to gain access to it.
 
Well that's the family holiday cancelled this year 😭 all because of my health. So now I have to pay my GP to fill out the medical certificate they sent through in the hopes the insurance covers the loss 🙄
Meanwhile I am still trying to access the best possible treatment to try and get some quality of life back and actually be able to function as an actual human
 
So I managed to get into my facebook by using my laptop which showed two email addresses and got the code through the email I set it up with. Problem solved right?

No. Still can't log in through my phone it gets so far through loading and brings me back to the log in page. Managed to access it by faffing around changing it to desktop site, then when logged in swapping it to mobile site. Quick scroll through, then it randomly logged me out again and it won't let me back in. Unsure of what to do. Maybe its time to seriously look at a new phone as it would solve several problems.


Not for the first time do I wish something would just work for me...
 
I've put off downloading Windows 11 for a long time but last night I actually decided that I really should do it. BIG MISTAKE. This morning my laptop said that Windows 11 had been installed so I restarted my laptop and it was REALLY slow as in 5 minutes to actually get onto Google Chrome so I could get onto the Internet. I had to sign back into all the sites again. My son had a look at my laptop this afternoon because I was complaing how slow it was. He said that something had gone wrong with the update and my laptop was still running Windows 10 and was trying to download Windows 11 again which is why it was slow. So it's been over 24 hours and still o Windows 11. My laptop says the download is now at 0%. I've paused it for 7 days so in a week I'll have to pause it for another 7 days and so on. I really wish I hadn't done it and carried on with Windows 10.

I'm sorry, what a pain. I will take this as a warning, thank you. I keep thinking I should download it, I won't now!

Try restoring it to a previous point. Hopefully one was created before the download/failed install.

I don’t think I’ll be installing it…I like the speed of my laptop as it is!
 
I can’t sleep because of a literal pain in my neck, and an emotional pain in the neck too. In two hours, I need to get up to check for a delayed school opening that I am 100% sure we have due to the bitter cold. In other words, I’m going to be stressing out for a while, then just falling back asleep when the alarm goes off.

The problem with putting off downloading it for so long is that there have been hundreds of updates since which the system will also try to install at the same time. If you can roll it back because it sounds a bit stuck that's great but prepare for a lot of installs and reboots while it gets fully up to date

My son said not to install it when it came out as there were loads of bugs in it and lots of people were having problems.
 
Sometimes you just want to roll your eyes and say "I told you so". Got an email from the London clinic wanting an update on where I was with sorting stuff out. I'm nicotine free, that bit's done, but there's still the psoriasis which is nowhere near clear enough to do anything with. I knew this. I said this. I still had to take photos of it, to send those via email to the clinic, for the doc to say what I did. :roll: Funny, that.
 
So I have come off the ibuprofen and the pain is steadily increasing again. I know at some point, probably 4-5 weeks before I give birth I need to be off the codeine too otherwise baby will have nasty withdrawal symptoms. Thing is I am barely mobile as it is and I just don't understand how I can manage all this. I am constantly chasing up appointments that have yet to be made but waiting lists are ridiculous and they don't seem to appreciate time sensitive or urgent issues
 
Why am I so tired.

It's almost 10pm. I have the heating set to come on in a couple of hours for a couple of hours, then off for several hours, then on again. I don't need to go back downstairs unless I want to adjust it ever so slightly. My meds are upstairs, I can take those, give the goblins their pellets, close the door for them for the night. Finish my can of Coke and just go to bed.

But it's not even 10pm. Why am I so tired? I hate being tired. Like I genuinely haven't felt tired in so long and then this past week it's been like this every night.
 
I’m sorry you’re so tired.
You have had a full on week and maybe it’s caught up with you ?
I hope you have a restful sleep and that you feel less tired tomorrow
You have 2 demanding skinnies to add to that too 🥰
 
Sigh. My wrist is fine. Well, until I need to pull hay out of a tightly packed box (thanks, Excel) while keeping my eye out for a marauding Ser Spider because the usual hiding place is empty, THEN (and only then) does my wrist decide it doesn't have the strength for it.
 
The goblins and their hay. Somehow they're still escaping haypoke, but I was pulling some hay out of the box earlier and a piece got lodged in my finger. I only realised when I went to knock it off and realised it was attached to me instead. :td:
 
And not even a big piece, but I don't want to think of what damage it could've done to an eye. Also apparently I sprained my wrist getting hay out of the box again, lol. I don't even know how.
 
I sure hope so. Ran out of self-adhesive bandages so my strapped wrist looks a bit odder than usual, but without safety pins I had to use the whole roll instead. Nbd. Anything for those two!
