What's Bothering You?

[TheSillyPuppy]

- This weekend wasn't particularly restful at all. I laid down to sleep last night at 10:30 PM and probably didn't fall asleep until 12:30 or later...
- Just as I was leaning towards actually buying a pre-built gaming PC, of course the one I'm eyeing goes out of stock -- in both case colours, too. Ugh. To heck with people mining cryptocurrency, lol.

It’s going to be a long day and I dropped my digital pencil somewhere and I’m hoping it’s in my car because I just want to draw when I have nothing to do. I took my client to the hospital to visit someone and it’s cold in here. I like to keep busy and I’m feeling antsy. At least I can listen to what the doctors say because they might not remember what’s being said later.

These salt & vinegar crisps sure were low budget ****, eww...

I'm feeling a bit shaken right now. Had a really bad feeling about some stuff my mom and I needed to do at the bank this morning, but thought it was just my anxiety acting up again and tried to ignore it. We got delayed heading out, and wound up not going until this afternoon—and when we got there, the bank was locked down. We were concerned and called, and the woman who answered said they were "temporarily unavailable and awaiting further instructions".
The whole thing felt really odd and we called another branch to see if they could check in with them, she said she would, and then got back with us several minutes later to say that a different branch was currently open. When we tried to ask if she knew if there was something going on at the bank we were at, she said that she "didn't have any information about that at this time". Then police showed up. We went home and my mom called our branch again to ask if they were alright, and this time the woman who answered said that they were all okay now, but the bank would be closed for the rest of the day.
I think we might've narrowly missed a bank robbery. Glad it sounds like no one was hurt, but I'm just feeling really weirded out about the whole thing. Oy.

lol reminds me when I bought pumpkin pie that was reduced. I don't know how they managed to do it, but they captured the flavor of after vomit. I couldn't even finish a slice. Sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Hopefully your next batch of chips tastes better!

I biked this morning for a couple of hours. While I usually feel happy getting some exercise, I don't really feel this today. It turns out the air quality is still poor from the forest fires in my province. I thought things would clear up, but it obviously hasn't. Something tells me that biking today to get some exercise did more harm than good to my health. I'm having minimal struggles of breathing (nothing unbearable, though) and still am after a few hours.

Forgive me for asking, but does your country, state etc. have a special program for people ASD and related conditions? If they do and you won't be able to get disability money it might be worth checking out.

Unfortunately no, not where I am. I don’t think my city has a disability office, and the state one would be too far from here. I’m basically trapped here and I’m running out of places to apply to and interview at. Eventually I’m going to have to just move to a different city or state and start a career somewhere else, but I don’t have the money for that right now.

I am working with a job/life coach in trying to get hired, but it has been a long time now and I don’t know if it’s going to bear fruit or not. All I know is I run the risk of becoming homeless once my dad passes.

I hate the hot weather. I hate doing physical labor in the hot weather. I hate doing physical labor in the hot weather for hours upon end. I’m ready to just pass out for the night.

The best part is I get to do this all over again every day this week.

And just to be clear, it’s not like it’s impossible for me to do. I’m receiving job offers still even now on online places. I’ve overcome every obstacle that was presented to me in my life before, so there’s no reason why I can’t get a good job too. It’s just that it’s probably the biggest obstacle I’m facing before I can move forward again. My Aspergers is so minimal that it probably doesn’t even affect me as bad as others who have it worse or full blown autism. But it is enough to make me think and process things differently. Basically it’s not a matter of skill or intelligence, it’s a matter of opportunity.

Anyway, I’ll end my spiel there. Sorry for posting about this so much recently.

Oh my tummy does not feel good this is so lousy

I’m so mentally and physically exhausted right now that I just can’t think straight. I just want quiet please.

Yeah it was a reduced low-budget brand but I wanted something salt to snack on and they were the cheapest lol! I'll definitely take some better brand next time. And yeah they left a vomit aftertaste as well ew.

Okay, yeah that's rather stinky and definitely understand your frustration.

Hope they can help you but yeah that's a rather ****ty situation indeed especially if it's been sometime if they haven't helped you with any contacts or help with money etc.

boss who doesnt believe in covid and also attended a large out of state gathering last week came to our small office super sick. i wont get my second shot for another two weeks soooo hoping its not covid ;-;

I feel like I'm holding onto my last thread of sanity at work.

To top it off, my S/O and his mother have some mild covid symptoms as of yesterday. They had family friends over the past weekend, who are fully vaccinated but have been out and about since provincial restrictions loosened. Maybe I'm being too salty about this and I'm speaking from the perspective of being more of a homebody myself, but I wish people were more attuned to the fact that risk reduction isn't equivalent to risk elimination. My S/O got tested this morning and should have results within the next 24-48 hours... fingers crossed.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for them as well! That’s so scary, I hope the tests are negative and that they’re okay I also hope that things at work get easier soon, too!

Thank you so much -- really appreciate the positive vibes! That means so much. Thankfully, he mentioned that his symptoms are almost all gone, so at the very least, they're not bothering him as much as they were yesterday.

Channeling some good vibes to you! Fingers and toes crossed that you're all clear.

Feeling better now.

I had to go out in the heat (80-90F weather) again, which is fine beside the fact that I didn’t rub in my sunscreen. All day my eyes have been bothering me from me sweating the sunscreen into my eyes. I’ve had to leave my what I was doing multiple times to wash out my eyes, but it isn’t helping. Luckily I’m at home now, but my eyes are still burning.

I also heavily embarrassed myself today. I wish I could just turn back time.

I really don’t want to go to work tomorrow because they’re getting their home ready to be sprayed for bugs and a lot of yelling and hitting happens as well as name calling from the wife. I don’t understand how people can be so self involved that they can’t see the damage they’re doing to others and have no empathy. Could really go without the constant nit picking and the hitting as well as when she tells him he deserves it for being so lazy triggers my past trauma.
