What's Bothering You?

[Princess Mipha]

I can't find someone who can take care of my animals while I'm in Germany during christmas.. it stresses me out.
I am actually considering asking the "neighbours", but I'm scared they might take it bad? If anyone wants to give me advice if it's a good idea or not, continue reading..

They are from Ukraine. They ran from the war, so it's pretty certain that they are not going back for christmas there. They are a very friendly family with two dogs themselves and they seem very responsible towards animals. Their little daughter loves to see my cats outside. I am just worried that they might take it wrong that I "ask them since I know they can't go home currently".. am I overthinking? I don't know

I don't think there's any harm in asking.. It might even make them feel more at home to know that their neighbor trusts them enough to let them look after your pets! Maybe offer them money or some baked goods in exchange for looking after your pets?

If not, there's probably a petsitter company you could contact if you can afford that.

I tried becoming friends with a few people on a Discord server and both of them quit replying at the exact same time. They’ve also both completely offline all day. My paranoid as always brain worries I may have said something that gave the wrong idea. Namely the thought that they believed I might’ve been interested in them when in reality I was talking to them at the same time.

I was just being friendly. I already have feelings for someone else and I have no intention of being with someone I barely know. It usually takes me at least several weeks to even get a crush on someone. I’m just lonely and like having new people to talk to.

Hopefully my paranoid thoughts aren’t real and there’s no misunderstanding going on. I don’t want to hurt anyone.

You could approach it as, "are you going to be staying local over Christmas?" Then when they inevitably say yes you can ask them if they mind watching the animals.

I used to pet sit for many people locally as a teenager. Great fun playing with other people's cats and dogs.

Oh yeah for sure we were going to offer money anyways (and a toy for her daughter). Sadly the petsitter companies are not looking at animals at their home, but put them into cages, like "shelter for the holidays" and ask quite a bit of money. I guess I'll just ask and hope for the best, as I actually do trust them more than a stranger.

Yeah good idea! I might bake some cookies and bring them over as a conversation starter and then will ask that!

Indeed, I only got the chance once and I loved it.

Was gonna wash my hair but then my bottle was empty for some reason Guess mom used some and didn't buy a new nor told me it was empty. Boo. Can't really use the others we had cause one ruins my hair and the other has way too strong smell that makes me allergic.

I am sooo sick of being sick. JUST got over RSV a couple days ago and now have parainfluenza?! Which the flu vaccine doesn’t protect against. And we’re supposed to host thanksgiving tomorrow.

People starting criticizing everything post-BLM 2020 cause they can and not really because it matters and people only do right-thinking. Where did everyone switch in their brains, lol.

Like put light on actual racist stuff (some do, which is good) and stop doing petty stuff you don't know the story about anyway.

been having a real rough time mentally this week especially. missing my girlfriend and feeling exceptionally more tired than usual, to the point where i keep sleeping for 11 hours and couldn't even go to my volunteer job at all this week. also started therapy, again, but it feels useless because i can't get a doctor's appointment and switch meds to run alongside it, and i don't think it's going to change anything anyway. pretty sure the only way to rewire my brain at this point is literally rip. also parents, being unhelpful and uncaring, but what's new there ig. haven't eaten at all today F.

Sooooo um, anyone here suddenly get anxiety around this time of year when it gets colder and darker earlier? Please tell me I’m not going crazy here lmao

People ask me what I’m thankful for, and seriously the only thing coming to mind is her. I’m thankful that she exists in my life. Every time I’m asked, I just stand there and think to myself what else I’m thankful for, but it’s only her. I’ve become more comfortable with myself because of her. I’ve formed friendships with other people because she made me realize not everyone has ****ty motives. The impact she’s had is just too much.

This week has been ****.

Okay, I feel better now

It’s the first week of this Excel learning program that I enrolled in and I already feel worn out. I still have 40 min. of videos to watch, but stopping to process and take notes is slowing things down. There’s even quizzes and assignments.

On top of that, I’m busy with family this weekend and I have an interview on Wednesday.

 

[Mars Adept]

I feel like my parents are transphobic. It really hurts because I don’t feel comfortable with my current body.

 

[honeyaura]

I keep getting these stomachaches every time I eat something, no matter what it is. It’s been going on for about a week now.

my video editor keeps crashing when I try to export this video. and idek whats causing it exactly bc the first time I tried to export it crashed at 49% so I located the clip that it was having trouble processing and deleted it, and then the second time it crashed at like 22%? like come on my dude what's your problem

edit: lmao it crashed at 8% this time wtf

edit again: so it turns out that my screensaver may have been causing the issue, bc once I disabled it I left for work while my video exported and when I returned it was at 100%. only problem now is that I went back to watch the video and part of the editing was messed up so I had to go fix it and export the whole thing again the exporting process takes abt 55 minutes and if it crashes again (or if there's somehow another editing error) I may just lose my mind lol.

"we're a small business so no sale this weekend but i'm also gonna do an exclusive instagram sale which obviously requires an account and paypal"

wtf man...

Welp I have a fever (or the flu, to be honest I can't tell the difference). My headaches are immensely less painful than they were a few days ago, but my other symptoms have worsened. Also woke up with a nosebleed this morning. ; ;
