What's Bothering You?

I suddenly received some closure with a friend that I once fell out with. Not from my friend directly but a third party.

It wasn't exactly good closure. But it was better than nothing at all. (we'll probably never speak again and I fully respect the decision).

Although I now sit with my thoughts. It's very lonely yet bittersweet. When I was depressed I wasn't always the best person to be around. I had been looking to make amends and even hearing "no, we hate you" was better than nothing at all in this case.

I was never able to make new friends despite my attempts. The least I could do was apologize to old ones. The intent was never forgiveness though. I genuinely had some unresolved regrets. I guess I can finally put one of those to bed.

It is lonely though.
 
A month off work and one day back wiped me. 🥲

Luckily I've a phased return but oh god it was harder than I thought. I managed okay until the last hour and a half then my energy crashed and the body aches and heart palpitations kicked in. I had to go to the doctor after work to pick up paperwork, collapsed on the couch for an hour when I got home until I summoned the energy to wash and eat, and my eyes were itchy/watering like crazy all evening. I woke-up this morning feeling like I have the flu. My throat is so painful but I need to keep reminding myself that it's not an infection.

So glad my next day of work isn't until Tuesday. I'm working three days next week (Tue/Wed/Fri) and have people coming in from another site Tue/Fri to help me out. My boss came to see me for a chat yesterday (he is also the person helping me on Friday) and he said it is good I'm back and we'll just have to be a team while I adjust. I work solo in my role and the requisitions for next week already look intense (and I'm still waiting for half the department to get their sheets in) but I'm glad I've such great support in place. 🙏
 
My dog walking didn't go as planned DX
I was asked to walk a dog I knew, and since I was still a bit of a stranger, he didn't want to go DX I had to carry him to the park and we just stayed near the gate area anyways DX
He did pee, and was fine walking back, but it's sad he was so nervous. Didn't bark or fight me though.

When we did get back and was about to leave he was sad to see me go DX
 
I'm just not at my best, and I woke up not too long ago.

Maybe I should go and do something about this stomach ache, because it's keeping me from being motivated to do anything.

Gloomy thoughts lurk in my head too, mainly about school. Uurgh...

Hopefully the rest of Friday goes well.
 
Double-post btw.
Honestly having fun with the new event, but this schoolwork is keeping me from participating any further. And for some reason, I feel gloomy whenever I go on the forums. :\

One of those moments where I tell myself I should take a break. Yet I'm too addicted lol.
 
my dad was looking at my phone when i got a message from one of my group members and they made a joke. it wasn't an inappropriate joke in the slightest. i probably would have found this joke funny had my dad not gotten involved honestly.

it wasn't anything to cause alarm over. but my dad being himself, began shouting and making a big deal about it no matter how many times i told him that it was only a joke. my mom had to step in and even looked through my work to confirm that it was nothing (which was invasive as **** but that's a conversation for another day). jfc, i don't understand WHY he does this. he cause intense alarm over things, makes everyone upset and scared and has to be explained too so he doesn't continue blowing up. my mom's guilty of this as well.

i'm constantly walking on eggshells with these people so i don't have to deal with them going crazy on me. how do they expect me to speak to them about my activities or interests if this is how they act over things that i had no involvement over?? ughhh.

I remember when I made a mistake on a citation. That granted me an automatic F and it said "This is a warning. Next time you will be reported for plagiarism and legal action will be taken".

She did let me fix it.

It made my heart jump. That professor didn't mess around though. I still can't get an assignment back without immediate anxiety.
