What's Bothering You?

[nightglow]

It is more of a disappointment than a bother but, we ordered some matcha latte powder, it is awful... lol. I didn't look into it much which I guess is on me, but I wasn't ordering it, my hubs did which he read through the reviews and alot of people like it. imo it is just wwaaayyy too sweet. It is like, if you took the marshmallows from Lucky Charms Cereal and made a drink out of it. And, I used half of the powder the instructions called for and 2 oz more milk! I mean, I guess it is fine if you want a sweet drink, but the matcha flavor is missing or hard to detect with all the sweetness in it. I don't think we will be able to return it since the bag isn't resealable, and since it looks like the seller wouldn't send a replacement bag or refund or whatever to people who received thiers busted, which is way more of a justification for a refund than just not liking the product. I wish I could though considering the price of it..
I suppose I should just look into getting straight matcha powder in the future. I was ok with getting a latte powder, because I bought some from an Asian Market before and I liked it just fine. It wasn't too sweet, but had some sweetness to it and plenty of matcha taste. Unfortunately, the Asian Market is over an hour away and I can't justify that kind of a drive for a box (10 packets) of matcha which is pretty much all I would buy beyond a packet of squid jerky. Plus I thought if I could get it in bulk online, it would be cheaper than that box from the Asian Market.
So, I guess I will trying to figure out how to get through this 3 pound bag of mix... Maybe I should use even less, so at least it isn't a sugar rush to drink it. I was surprised it didn't say to mix it with a little bit of hot water first before adding it to milk and ice like the box from the Asian Market did. I wonder if that would effect the taste at all? I mean heat helps with oils to come out of leaves, but this is a fine powder. I think I'll try it that way next time in hopes it changes something..

[Alienfish]

Same. I’d like to think she’s possibly free from her toxic family and is doing well with whatever she’s doing.

Yeah, same, I really hope so

my editing software has already crashed like 3 times, luckily I'm not really losing much progress when it happens but it's still really annoying

I've been waiting all day to get home and draw (I drew sketches in my notebook instead of paying attention in class ), only to find that I forgot to charge my tablet and it's out of battery. Great .-.

Also, got yelled at as soon as I entered the door because I got angry at my brother. He was standing in the doorway so I couldn't get inside (plus it was raining too). Whatever.

i've been steadfastly ignoring the signs of joycon drift but it's getting harder and harder to ignore... plus i have a lite, so realistically it's probably less hassle to buy a whole new switch at that point. but they're so expensive, might have to hold out a little longer.. ugh

Mom finally said the quiet part aloud. It started with an argument over her peeling the carrot first and then washing it. I insisted that was the wrong way to do it, and to not think about feeding my nephew that stalk. This was probably petty on my part, but I didn’t want to take any chances. Also, I saw her chop off the ends of the carrot and then put the knife back in it’s place and not the sink.

She got mad and shouted at me. I then said, “Ok, [crazy aunt’s name].” She exploded and called me worthless parasite. That I only babysit my nephew for a few hours.

Yes Mom, babysitting for 40+ hours a week is nothing to you. Especially when you don’t even help other than the occasional dinner for the kids, and watching my nephew when I need to use the restroom. Even then, that is done begrudgingly.

This is why my sisters and I don't talk to her. I don’t even tell her where I applied to or interviewed anymore.

I can’t even play a single Splatoon 3 game without freaking disconnections. It’s been very frustrating and disappointing because Splatoon 2 was probably the best switch online experience for me. :/

Why is it so hard to get a PS5 ???? I have called 3 stores and they all tell me just to check the website..... I have been checking all the websites for months and there is never any stockkkkkkk rofeoifjoiewfnoiwejffwefwefiwej!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you, we’ve been trying periodically to find one but it’s impossible apparently. I bought a purple PS5 controller when they were released assuming it wouldn’t be too long until we found a PS5, that was about 6 months ago so I haven’t even taken it out of the packaging

My mind jumping to irrational conclusions ****ing sucks.

Recently I haven't been to work because I've been processing what's been going on with my mom's family. I won't get into any details but for, many, many years, my mom's family have been treating her badly and even with all the help that my mom has given to them, they continued to abuse them. My mom opened her apartment to her sister to help them out and they still treated her badly. I recently went back home for Labor Day and found out more about what happened. This has been building up for many years now and on FB, I finally posted a long thread, calling out my mom's family for everything they did and will block them and disown them. It's been brewing for years now and while I feel happier about letting them go, it still bothers me that they would do so many bad things to my mom

One of my coworkers told me that two of our managers said that I was valuable to the team and one of the few they can trust. I almost cried. With the way I've been feeling lately and stressed about work, it meant a lot. Lately I've been feeling worthless so it was a bit of a shock. I increased my dose of antidepressants (without telling a doctor lol) and I've felt a lot better since.

One of my favourite managers seems to have lost motivation completely which sucks when trying to organise things. He said "why bother trying to do things when [our boss] changes things?". He's got a point. The whole situation with our management and staff right now is pretty ****ty. There's just so many things that are making it a mess right now.

i actually might cry over something so stupid to other people but its bothering me so much

Spoiler

ive ordered this dress from a brand whos making it custom for me, and the images of the fabric they sent originally do not match at all what the finished product looks like and i hate it so much.

left is the fabric, right is the dress. the print itself is fine but the color difference is insanely jarring that i dont know what to do with it. the brand said it'd be "more pastel" than the print image they originall sent which got me hyped cause, i love pastels and its so easy to work with. the finished dress is NOT PASTEL AT ALL. i dont even know what to do with it, these arent common colors at all in lolita and i paid so freaking much for this dress. idk what to do with this expensive ass dress now and im so upset by it. i asked this brand SO MANY TIMES to send me images of the print BEFORE MAKING THE GARMENT in case i wanted to change it and they DIDNT. now im stuck with this. im sincerely going to cry about this because it's going to be insanely hard to sell or do anything with. oh my god i hate this so much.

I made an appointment at walgreens for the new covid booster, but they canceled my appt saying they ran out of boosters because they gave them away to walk-ins...

so I checked rite aid's website, which said they're accepting walk-ins, so I went to rite aid and was told that I have to make an appointment....aaaa

I think it's dumb that they put these companies in control of the boosters, the people working at rite aid clearly didn't give a crap about distributing the vaccine
