What's Bothering You?

I had a nice time at my uncles but I came back with such a bad flu
Feeling so hot, my ears ached so sleeping was a nightmare
I'm wearing sunglasses in bed cause the light pains me and had to call/message my boss to say I can't open tomorrow. As per usual she didn't respond so had to call and message her ex husband who's coming to get my keys. Sounded quite annoyed but he better not be pissed off with me, had no control over this.

Can't check if it's covid because tests cost like £30, and I'm down to £3. Not that they're always accurate.
Fustrating, I had planned to paint more but my head is really bad.
 
I am beyond frustrated with my brother. That ******* never listens to me, and it's a little embarrassing having to chastise him in front of our family, especially since I tend to lose my cool. I got into a heated argument with him and our uncle had to tell us to stop fighting. :\ It's bad enough that we have twice the cleaning to do, but my brother is doing everything he can to have less work (giving me more in turn). This irks me, beyond belief.

Aside from that, I'm still not eating and sleeping well. At all. I feel like I'm not spending enough time with the people around me. Can't get my college affairs in order because one of the workers I emailed hasn't responded in a month, and I still need my documents. I keep thinking/dreaming about school and my mom, which just further distresses me. Why can't I just have pleasant thoughts?

I just have a lot on my mind. I want to do more with myself, but I feel too burnt out and overwhelmed. Kinda funny to say when I don't have to worry about more "adult" stuff, like taxes or jobs...
 
I was recalling a time as a child when my uncle would repeatedly teasing me about having long hair. He would phrase it as "Are you a girl"? "Are you sure you aren't"? Also I have an unusually heavy blue eye color. Giving him more fuel.

I understand it was only meant to be light teasing. It's important to remember that children can remember things you tell them. Because I'm still self conscious about letting my hair grow out even as an adult.

Actually, one of the photos I posted in 'What Do You Look Like' was me with as a child long hair. My first thought after I posted was feeling it looked too feminine. That I would be teased.

I've felt that being able to post this photo meant that I'm finally overcoming that long term insecurity. Recently, I even let my hair grow out a little longer again as an adult.
 
Super petty even by the standards of what I usually post here, but here goes.

It’s about that driver’s manual that I keep talking about having to read. Today I decided to actually sit down and read it, and then I realized how long this is, and how I have to memorize everything. I’m apparently going to take the test in December, which is a lot of time, but I really don’t want to do this. My older sister took the test last year and failed, and my parents got really pissed off at her when that happened. I don’t want that to happen to me because I know exactly what they’re going to say. I’m just kind of scared right now.
 
My 15 year old cat Burger is not doing well. 😭 he has a massive abscess in his mouth and is not a great candidate for surgery because of his age and slightly elevated kidney levels. His vet said two weeks ago that he can say with certainty that he is in constant extreme pain. We tried a 2 week antibiotic but it didn’t do anything.
 
Feeling mentally drained. My eyes feel so tired and early this morning I burst into tears thinking about my Mum. I couldn't stop. Luckily, no-one was up to see. I miss her so much everyday, but I haven’t cried like that for several months. It’s as if I can go along and then every so often the floodgates open. What I wouldn’t give to tell her how much I love her one more time. 💜
 
^ that's why I don't do commissions. I would require a payment after a sketch for security reasons, but I am so inconsistent with my art churnout and I'd feel incredibly guilty if I took someone's money and couldn't finish a commission in a timely manner. I'm still haunted by a commission I couldn't even start almost a year ago, thankfully I didn't receive any payment for it since I couldn't even do the sketch.


I feel really tired right now. not sleepy at all, just tired. it's been so slow here. I still have over an hour left on my shift and I wish it would hurry up.
