What's Bothering You?

Feeling really down. We were planning to go shopping today because we couldn't do it before Christmas, but now my dad is having to deal with a mysterious charge on the account. I have no idea if we're still going and I am just stuck waiting. I'm sick of this month. It's just been problem after problem and very few moments where I could actually enjoy anything. I have been so depressed (and cold) that I haven't even been playing the game I got for my birthday. I only played it for a few days. I love that game, but I am just not feeling it anymore.
 
I’m really frustrated about my stylus issues with the cord. Just found out my mom is making me go grocery shopping tomorrow; we’re going to help my sister with some stuff and in the morning. I’m hoping it’ll be quick. Still feel stressed off and on about other things.

Also trying not to think about the fact my best friend didn’t message me yet.

No dms, comments or discord messages.

How can I convince my mom that scented bedding is bad for hamsters. Every time I got to tell her it's horrible to the hamsters, she brings up with Petco's told her about it. They called it safe and stuff. It's not, that's what killed my last hamster and she won't believe me.

This was the bedding: Lavender scented bedding

I even showed her a video of someone explaining her this, but she refuses to listen to it because that person is not a veterinarian.
Unlike 'very reliable' Petco.

My current hamster is not using the bedding.
 
I saw this person on YouTube once who made this comparison to try and persuade people not to get pet care advice from pet shops…
“You wouldn’t ask for dieting advice from a supermarket employee, so don’t take pet advice from a pet shop employee.”

that's like how some companies sell cologne that you spray on your dog, like... it's only for our enjoyment, and it's often a detriment to your pet. I've seen some professional groomers using a kind of dog cologne so I suppose it's possible that they made that kind pet safe, but I can't see how scented bedding would be safe for any animal.
 
woken up at 3am because my cat was lying right next to my face and he decided that he wanted to freak out for seemingly no reason at all, and he put two huge scratches in my right hand 🫠 thankfully he didn't get my face, good lord. he's the only cat who won't let me cut his nails, but after this I'm inclined to wrap him up in a tight purrito and cut his nails whether he wants me to or not. this is ridiculous.

(and no, it wasn't Feef. he's always a good boy 🥺💜🐱)


edit: I was woken up two more times, either by a cat or by my dogs. so now it's almost 8am and I still feel very tired and not well rested at all. just fun 😞

I left my kittens for 28hrs. Despite having food dispensed every 4hrs via an automatic food dispenser, they somehow broke into a cupboard and ate 2.5 bags of Dreamies (Temptations) treats. 🤦‍♂️

I brought them home turkey. It'll now be a Boxing Day treat.
Bought new treats.

Sebastian has already pierced one of the bags. It was only on the side long enough for me to put the groceries away. At least I found him before he ate any. 🤦‍♂️

Caught in the act:
