What's Bothering You?

I tried to cut my cat’s nails today and she was being frisky about it. My dog starts barking at the door and my cat got excited/startled? and immediately wriggles free and (accidentally) scores her claws into my stomach and hand :]
If there are better ways to cut my cat’s nails please feel free to let me know
 
Well my work just posted a warning that 14 more of my coworkers tested positive for covid in one week (on top of the 50+ people already in quarantine) and I still have no choice but to go into work or I can't pay my bills 🥴 Also I have a few coworkers on facebook and they keep having birthday parties and acting like everything is normal despite being warned the port has been a hot spot for covid.
 
i am wondering if it is considered overdoing it if I say how much I love my villagers and post their pictures in threads that ask for some form of opinion on a villager. i am not ashamed that I love my villagers but if it makes people think my island is boring or makes them uncomfortable, Idk. i know i shouldn’t let people upset me but Idk, some stances make me question if I have been insensitive and if I should stop sharing my opinions? I have been trying so hard to be respectful if I disagree.

Oof I am so sorry. Please stay safe. I hope your coworkers haven’t been causing u problems still aside from this (though this is a major inconvenience to you since you need money and your health is important too). Hang in there too if they are being horrible again. I’m here for you if you need to chat :).

My province is expected to announce some "new measures" today and people are already panic buying everything again :( I am worried if they give notice before a lockdown starts that things will become crazy at my work as everyone rushes in to finish up their Christmas shopping before we (non-essential retail) close down again. However I'm also kind of nervous that they won't announce a new lockdown when we could honestly probably use one. I'm going to be at work later today when the announcement happens and I feel like it's going to be a bad day at work regardless of what the announcement is.

If people are asking for opinions on a villager and you simply provide an opinion I don't see how there could be any problem with that. From what I've seen you are very respectful even in regards to villagers you don't like, as in when you graciously welcomed Violet to our island in the woods 😉

Thanks Dun, things have been pretty calm at work otherwise but thanks for asking. I've been trying to lay low 😅 I'll make sure to take steps to try and stay safe though.

you should absolutely post pictures! there’s nothing wrong with sharing pictures of your villagers at all and if anything, it can help further demonstrate your love for them. your opinions are valid no matter what and what you have to say is valuable. i personally would be saddened if you stopped sharing your thoughts on things; i always enjoy reading what you have to say about stuff and i know that others do, too :’^)

Aw thanks. ^^ That means a lot to me. I know it probably is silly for me to doubt myself but having read some comments made me wonder if I have been insensitive to people by accident; I have asperger’s so there is always a chance that I may fail to read the mood or not realize that something I posted made someone uncomfortable. Until now, I didn’t think having Raymond on my island would bother anyone or pictures of him, but now I am wondering if I am guilty of putting him on a pedestal :/. I also don’t mean to be dramatic, I just want to make sure I haven’t been rude to others this whole time.
 
It bugs me when I feel like people are afraid to say no to anything, so instead of saying "no, I can't right now", or "no, I don't feel like doing that", they leave me hanging and just won't reply for a long time. Maybe they think I or anyone they say no to will get offended, but honestly I wouldn't. Everyone has a right to say no to anything and I feel they should. I feel worse about them leaving me hanging than I ever would feel about them saying no to something. Kind of dealing with that with a friend right now and it's a bit frustrating.

it’s not silly at all; i totally understand how you feel and your feelings are completely valid. i don’t think you posting pictures of raymond is putting him on a pedestal; sure, he might be a popular villager, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t like or want to share photos of him. you are allowed to say and share whatever you’re comfortable with, regardless of what the topic might be; your voice and what you have to say or show matters. i understand 100% wanting to silence yourself out of fear of bothering anyone but as your friend and a lurker, i have never seen you be rude to anyone ever. you are always so kind and respectable to everyone and i truly wish that you could see yourself the same way that your friends see you; you’re great and one of the nicest people i’ve personally ever met 🧡

🥺Thanks, xara. You’re right :). I kinda want to know what is meant by some things that are said but at the same time, it would probably just end up with me more stressed out than needed, so maybe it is better not to ask for clarification. I don’t think I deserve your kind words since I have lost my temper once with someone and came close to saying something regrettable another time. >< still i appreciate that. I think it applies more to you 😊. I have never seen you lose your temper with anyone regardless how rude they are being. Thanks for taking the time to reassure me and check on me though 😊. You are a treasured friend and one of the nicest people I know ^.^

Also, I hope you are doing better; it seriously is so kind of you to respond to this little worry but you have so much more on your plate ><. I really hope you have a good thanksgiving in spite of everything.
 
hr called today. i think i have to get tested for covid because of a coworker, but i'm not sure because she didn't answer my call when i called her back. now i have to wait until tomorrow to call her to see if i DO have to get tested, idk if the store is open tomorrow or if i should go in, nobody is saying anything.

i don't know where to get tested, a lot of places have reduced hours/aren't open this week because of thanksgiving. this is a ****ing mess.

i HAVE to test negative because i'm supposed to get my braces off next week and if i have to keep these on for any longer i think i may cry
 
Still not over that fact I did a 16 hour work day yesterday...then slept for like 13 hours ahahaha
 
i know it's not really ideal to be hanging out with anyone right now but i will literally give anything to hang out w my boyfriend :( it's so frustrating seeing my friends being able to hang out with their boyfriends and im over here not having hung out with him since march :/ he's really the only person who makes me happy and not being able to see him just makes me feel worse. my mental health has gone the drain since lockdown/quarantine started.. there's not one thing i want more than to be able to hang out with him 🥺 ik we should be responsible and not hang out w each other but we both literally dont go out at all unless it's for food or other necessities, and even then we still don't interact with other people !! and ive spent so much time crying about it even if it does seem kinda childish. i just really want to see him 😭
