What's Bothering You?

i ordered a phone case last saturday (april 17) and paid for like....fast shipping. they have it posted on their site that the shipping thing is after a 24-72 hour processing time. fine, i thought. i still hadn't received a shipping email after like 3 or 4 days, so i emailed them to ask about it to just kind of check in. they said the case i ordered was actually out of stock?? and had me choose a new case.

kinda weird, i thought. why wouldn't they have noticed that when i placed the order & contacted me then. dunno. i was happy to get a different one.

well here it is three business days later (not counting today since it's sunday) and i still don't uhhhh. have a shipping confirmation? i'm not sure if i should email them again tomorrow if i don't get a confirmation, or if i should be patient, or what. it's kind of really annoying.
 
I got sun burn on my back because it is so sunny today in Scotland (?how?what is going on?what is this strange burning ball in the sky??)
i'm so annoyed at myself, I usually put sun lotion on before I go out (sun protection is important my dudes) but I went out to say hi to some unexpected visitors. Those unexpected visitors stayed for 3 hours and I was too socially awkward to get up and say, "gimme a sec, I need to go put on some sun lotion"
why am I like this, now my back is burnt

Ouch, be careful! I'm in my parents back garden at a BBQ today and after an hour asked if I could borrow suncream because my arm was already red! This shouldn't be possible in Scotland.

yep, it likes to sneak up on you around here. I should have been on top of it but the heat was also accompanied by a bit of a chill breeze so I didn't realise until I saw my back when I got back in the house. I'm now part lobster and it is of my own doing
Nice weather for a BBQ tho, hope you have a nice (sun protected) time - we decided to have one Friday and the wind picked up and temp plummeted as we were heating up the grill lmao. we powered through and ate our burgers in the wind LOL. so dumb.

It's so deceptive. It can feel cold and you'll still burn! I hope you have some Aloe Vera or after sun handy! I've also found EMLA (available over the counter at Boots) is great for the itching.

Day three in a row for us! Friday was burgers and hot dogs (wind was a pain but luckily my folks have a gazebo), yesterday dinner was made in a pizza oven in the garden (although my dad delivered to me cos I had already committed to taking part in TBTs Neighborly Games yesterday 😂😂), and today it is steak. 🤤 Weather is meant to be crap this week and I'm dreading it.

This exact same thing happened to me last summer but it was my face that got burned. My first sunburn in years because I was unprepared for a guest and then we had to sit outside and not inside because of pandemic reasons. The "guest" was also my mom which makes the situation even more ridiculous, I should have just told her I needed to apply sunscreen yet I didn't??


My bother today is that I woke up with a very sore back for no apparent reason 😖

YOU GOT A PIZZA OVEN IN THE GARDEN? That's seriously the dream lol. But this streak of good weather has been the business, I'm dreading the coming week, too. Before the sunny weather came in it was legit freezing, I was making hot water bottles in the middle of the day and sitting next to radiators like a wee heat seeking reptile lmao.
And I may have to buy aloe vera (or look into getting EMLA - thanks for the recommendation!). Just had to slap on some regular CeraVe moisturiser on it and hope for the best for now 🙃

Sun burn on the face is awful, when the skin gets all sensitive and a bit tighter across the nose and stuff. ugh - sorry to hear you had to deal with that. tbh, I would have been the same with my mum. I would've just burned lol. Like almost the literal version of:

And that sucks about your back - do you think you just slept on it funny? I get that sometimes, usually spend the whole day doing mad stretches just to try and sort it out.

I really don’t want to go into work today. I really don’t like working with people I’m not used to and for 8 hours no less it’s basically like starting a new job with no training. I feel useless sometimes because I’m still waiting for my classes to start and I can’t do some of the stuff. I don’t want to drive home for 30 minutes in the dark. Maybe I’m just being a baby. I’ve also lost weight this week and I need to start taking better care of myself. Also our new bunny Momo is an escape artist.
 
Nothings bothering me right now but I have a question:
Was this thread always in the basement? I swear it was in Brewster's Cafe once, though I could be wrong

i believe so but the “what did you accomplish today?” thread was moved from brewster’s cafe to this subforum, though, so you might be thinking of that.
 
I really need a hobby of some sort. A hobby other than gaming. Something to keep me occupied in the weekends. Nothing really interests me though. I just feel neutral/numb towards everything and nothing really brings me happiness :/
