What's Bothering You?

called my dad earlier while I was on my way to go somewhere before work, and he told me that my mom's surgery went well (she had a fusion of her left SI joint), but after the surgery she had complications with a collapsed lung and she was put into ICU. so I was already worried about her, but he just called me back a few minutes ago and gave an update. he said that not only did she have two collapsed lungs (not by any fault of the anesthesiologist, rather an underlying medical condition that we're aware of), but apparently her heart stopped for a few seconds?? the doctor said that she's stable now, but they will continue to monitor her over the next 72 hours to see if it may have affected brain activity and kidney functioning at all. so instead of coming home tomorrow, now she's gonna be in ICU for a few days and is slated to come home on Monday (hopefully).

so yeah... I know there's no sense in worrying myself to death but like, good lord. 🫠
 
Well, I’m going to an event tonight, which I am happy about. But I’m supposed to dress up which i lowkey ****ing hate in the summer because finding casual dresses is so hard and none of mine fit me anymore, neither do my dress pants which I don’t wanna wear either cause its 80 ****in degrees. I have a maxi skirt but no clean tops that go with it. As I didn’t ****ing hate doing laundry enough, the ****ing washer is broken and beeps errors at me everytime I try to use it I wanna ****ing kick it and smash it and the event’s probably only in like 2 hours
 
Today, our boss forced several of the drivers (around 10 or so) who finished very early with their routes to sit and do nothing in the lounge for over 30 minutes before they could leave, and none could simply walk out and take no pay. Oh man, were they super angry about that. I left a note for our union representative (who was still driving), and I'd imagine this will get talked about for most of next week.

Surprisingly, it didn't really bother me all that much, but I'd be mad too if I was forced to sit and do nothing at work. I don't care that I'm still getting paid; let everyone who already finished go home and enjoy the weekend.
 
I can’t sleep. I’m restless because I’m anxious about my switch.

I hate how my dad talks to me like I’m stupid. right now I’m not processing anything because i’m tired and anxious. he told me oh did you know you can get a 10% off discount from the repair site if you enter your email? I’m like well.. and he’s like well what. Even if i was more awake, i take a long time to process things and to think of a way to response and when he pressures me to hurry up it makes me freeze up.

i almost want to just say screw it and wait to get it with my mom. I don’t know how to interact with my dad anymore or deal with it.
 
Woke up to buzzing sounds and there's a big-ass wasp on my window. How the hell did it get there? Anyway, I came back with a fly swatter, watched it crawl around for a few minutes, then it disappeared... Somewhere. I couldn't kill it 'cause I was too scared; I flinched every time it moved and I ****ing whimpered when I saw it up close?? Really wish I wasn't so scared of bugs (especially wasps) so I could've just dealt with it and be done. I don't think I'm going back to my room for a while. :x

OMG I feel you... I remember a few weeks ago I walked to my room and I saw this HUGE crane fly zooming around. (They remind me of spiders with wings... I'm arachnophobic) Guess what, I didn't kill it. I asked my family for help and they were useless; they just told me to be brave because I'm 16 years old. Thanks, guys... And then, I came back to my room and the crane fly disappeared. I was pretty scared that it would fly up to my face while I was sleeping for a few days...
 
My switch just deleted game data that was on my sd card since it said it was used on a different switch and something about formatting 😬. I’m pretty sure most of the games weren’t ones I’ve been playing, but still I’m kinda freaking out 😭. i guess I’ll find out whenever I get to those games that I haven’t finished. I have saved to my switch icloud, so maybe all isn’t lost.

I thought I checked everything I needed to before getting a new switch; I had no idea there’d be issues with the sd card. My screenshots and videos didn’t get deleted thankfully.
 
I did these drawings to vent out my feelings after I got yet another talk from my parents about how I need to be like my neurotypical siblings. I love my family and all, but sometimes I wish they appreciated me for who I am. I've tried to convince them to at least look at helpful resources for autistic people like me so I can adapt, but they later used that term as another word for change so I gave up on that. And no matter how hard I try to convince them, I know their stance isn't gonna change. Note how some of the drawings reference controversies within the autistic community.

I would also like to vent about something that is related to the top-right drawing. I have a pair of noise-cancelling headphones and they've been a game-changer for me ever since I bought them on my birthday. With them, I could easily breeze through the school environment without getting irritated easily by certain noises. Unfortunately, my parents are going to take that away from me for a while. I get that it's because they don't want me to be deaf, but it bothers me how they also expect me to "get used to it". The noise, I mean. I've heard how loud the campus has been for two stinkin' years and I still have not gotten used to it. How can you ignore sounds when you can hear them too?
