What's Bothering You?

[Moritz]

Last night my laptop died on me while playing world of warcrafts latest patch.
I tried my best to fix it but it's a no go.

So now I can't play wow while I wait for my new laptop to arrive and I'm £1200 down.

Forgot to mention that both of my kitties have to go on antibiotics since both have been peeing outside the litter box. I’m worried about my babies

If multiple cats are refusing to use the same litter box then that would imply that they are unhappy with it (e.g. not clean enough, don't like the substrate, etc); not necessarily that they're sick!

I wish people would be upfront when they don’t want to be friends with me.

I was trying to commission an artist I wanted to be friends with (from a different website) and they’d only reply if it was about the art. When I mentioned that I’m not the best at texting because of my autism, they said “you don’t have to keep sending me messages! You can just add the info at checkout.”

Regardless of intention, that hurt my feelings. In the future I won’t try to be friends with artists I’m commissioning unless they genuinely want to. They’re trying to run a business after all.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I have had similar experiences before, and I usually have to chalk it up to that maybe the person didn't know I was trying to be friends with them or maybe they did know, but didn't know how to say that they weren't interested in being friends for whatever reason. Good news is that this community is very welcoming and kind, so hopefully that helps take away some of the hurt from that experience.

They’re using it but they are peeing so close to the outside (like their tails towards the door) that they’re peeing outside of it. My mom had to clean up the floor and use vinegar because of the smell.

That is definitely behavioural; not sickness. They don't need antibiotics. Do you properly disinfect the litter tray when it's changed? If they can still smell old urine they won't want to go any further inside than they feel they have to.

I hate feeling overworked. It makes me so stressed, pressured, and just uncomfortable.....

Not all the time; every month we change out everything and disinfect I think. I should have mentioned they have kidney disease and get urinary infections every so often and when they have an infection they do this. It has been awhile since the last time they had one and I forgot they both do this then.

That's not nearly often enough. The kidney issues and UTIs could potentially be linked to this - cats are known to hold their waste too long if they're not happy with their litter tray.

i told my mom but I don’t think she’s convinced . Thanks so much for the info. I’ll try to keep talking about it and if she won’t do anything different then do it myself; problem is that I can’t lift the bags of litter or the litter box at all. I think she thinks that what the vet said about them being old cats and kidney disease and urinary infections being normal for there age is the only truth. she did say she understood what i was saying but…

I tried to tell my mom but she says we scoop it every day and it is cleaner than 90% of people’s cat’s litter and my cat is 20 years old. and she doesn’t care to spend more money. but what about my cat’s health and well being? she thinks we take good care of them. maybe my cats need to be taken away from us :/

And I suck at articulating my thoughts and trying to make a case. And I don’t think i’ve been a good mom to my cats.

Knew I should have ordered this dress lol, well hopefully my size will be back in stock

I have a heavy feeling thinking about Canada's past atrocities against indigenous people. I wish my partner and I's 10 years was on a different day cause today feels tainted by Canada day.

Second complaint but much less important then the first.

Spoiler

I went to 3 different stores looking for a bag of ice and everywhere is sold out. I even went into walmart for ice cube trays and those were sold out too. How am I suppose to make margaritas for my bbq guests without ice? I already bought the expensive tequila and triple sec, gosh diddly darn. I got some frozen bags of peaches and strawberries instead so it'll be a frozen fruit "margarita" but really it's just an alcoholic smoothie lmao

I had two good friends that ghosted me over time. We would always make plans to hang and they'd cancel at the last second and or just not even tell me and I'd be waiting around like a schmuck. It does suck when things like this happened. I grew wise after a few times. Should had been the first lol, but I can be pretty stupid.

@Vrisnem Hey, are you feeling better from the shot than yesterday?

 

[Dawnpiplup]

:/ oh jesus **** this tense environment

I downloaded Genshin and had to delete somethings to make room; accounted locked before that for 20 minutes since it would not log me in when i finished puzzle step. Just got to first cutscene and the lag was so bad nothing was understandable the animation just stopped. so I guess I have to wait until i get my next phone or then, get rid of more things. I wish they didn’t pack the phone with all those stupid useless apps and gave us more space.

Still upset about my mom not budging when I told her what Vris said. :/

Feeling much better today but I feel still a lot of stuff weighing me down. :/

Not looking forward to moving stuff in my room. with sister and nieces coming over this weekend, got to put things somewhere even if just temporarily. i really want to find that figure’s sword :/

Not that it's bothering me, but I did cut my hand and it hurts like an SOB now. Cut it on some old jagged metal when I was working on my antique treasure chest. My clothes kept getting snagged on it, but I was just being stupid and not taking that as sign to address it. Kind of wish I did now.


If your mom doesn't want to disinfect the litter box at earlier times, would you be able to do it? Or would she be against you doing that? Not trying to be rude or anything. Just asking.

Ouch! I hope you treat that and it feels better soon.

I can ask but I’d still need her help since I can’t lift the litter box or litter on my own. i have a feeling she’ll just say I don’t need to do it.

Firecrackers again. they’ve been shooting them before the fourth is here. not looking forward to that.

Got to go grocery shopping tomorrow. Not excited about that. But at least I can go back to sleep when I get home.

....I'm tired. And starting to feel a little depressed.

I dunno, seems like I'll stay here for the whole summer due to grandma's situation-- which yeah, it happens. Not ideal, but y'know. I just... not sure if I can handle all this pent up anger and resentment...

Can't ****ing believe mom really does not remember her threatening me. Said only God knows. So I really can't get any apologies or acknowledgment. **** all this I hate it

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I guess the stuff I've been working on in the past week was all for nothing. I had to start all over again from square one...

Oh, man... I am so not ready for the fourth of July. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice holiday, but the fireworks are already bad here, and fourth of July fireworks are usually 10000000x worse
I wish I lived in a quiet neighborhood where nobody threw fireworks
