What's Bothering You?

On the topic of dogs

Ours got excited and clashed her head into mine and jolted my tooth into my inner bottom lip. It caused a painful blister that's been there for a few days.

Because of anxiety, any sort of pain immediately freaks me out. Enough that last night I had a nightmare involving a medical emergency.
 
vet said our dog's outlook isnt looking too good.... the bumps on his body are growing, it's definitely cancerous at this point, but they cant operate on him anymore because he's old and they're afraid he wont be able to wake up from the anesthesia

im not fully surprised since we've known this for a long time now, i just need to mentally prepare myself when the time comes. ive been preparing for a long while now actually, he's come close to death a few times when he was terribly ill, but we were so happy he would nurse back to good health every time

there will come a time he wont be able to recover anymore..... well, that's life

anyway i do want to enjoy the time i have with him, death is inevitable but i'd like to think we gave him a good life :) he's 14 now, he's seen me graduate 4 times (from grade school to post grad!!), and i hope he's still got a few good years in him 💖 i wont be fully ready when the time comes, but i know me and my family are coming from a place full of love and care. 💖
 
I love when people don't inform the one who opens the shop that due to half term, I open the shop later than normal...and leave later.

Still putting down what time I started today. And she knew from last time, that the shop I worked at before was different and never opened later.
So unprofessional when she doesn't tell me. Now I'll be here longer and I havet even had one order yet.

(Half term is like letting kids off school for a week or two, and we're around a lot of schools so when they're off for holidays my boss likes to open later)
 
A bit minor, but I have been feeling a bit frustrated about something today
So, the whole dog having to be dropped off over here has unfortunately been happening on a pretty frequent basis since May, so I stopped ranting about it on here after the first few times.

However, my grandma decided to suddenly spring it on us without letting us know in advance. So, safe to say, I had an unpleasant awakening this morning. I do not know, I just hate surprises like this. I like to be aware of **** that is about to happen. I can understand if my grandparents had an emergency that suddenly comes up, but they plan things MONTHS in advance and always have to be doing something.

I get it. They are retired and need to stay occupied - believe me, I like to stay busy myself, but they also chose to take in a dog. A dog with separation anxiety, at that. I feel like they should wait until he passes to do all of this running around.

And my brother doesn't make things any better. He leaves his door open, so the dog can easily get in and out of there. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't so loud and obnoxious - screaming to his friends on Discord, blaring music, etc. There is but a thin wall between our bedrooms so I can hear everything going on in there much more intensely than I normally can.

He also likes to metaphorically rub **** in my face when it comes to dogs. I have stated before on here that he has tried to tell him to go after me. And that just makes me want to shove my brother against the wall. Like, grow up, dude. And it's not like my brother is some hormonal teenager trying to find his way, he is 24. He should know better.

I often just spend 99% of my time in my room when the dog is here. I do not want to deal with him being all up in my way, and I certainly do not want to deal with my brother shoving it in my face. I spend a lot of time in my room to begin with, but my dad notices I spend even more when the dog is here.

Eh, at least it is only for a day this time. Last time he was over, it was for a whole goddamn week. It felt like forever, let me tell you. >_<
 
I know it was literally my first day of work today, but I can't help but think that my coworkers were getting impatient with training me and that I'm always messing something up. 🥲 Things would be easier if I could fully comprehend what people were saying (almost everyone in my department only spoke French) and I just felt like a ****ing idiot. I can't do anything right.

Please don't reply, I'm just venting and I'm sure my sentiments will change the more I work. But my first day was kinda crappy.
 
It's almost 5 AM and I'm trying to sleep, but I can't. I keep overthinking (about my job and future, no less) and it's making me feel like ****. I'll never be good enough for anything.

I'm wondering if I'll have these feelings of stress and anxiety for the next few months, but it'd be a really flimsy reason to quit. Meh. It's just the way it is.
 
tl;dr trying to get an adhd assessment through my gp surgery is a constant nightmare.

first referral was bust because it was an online only service, which i can't do for multiple reasons. nowhere local to refer me for face-to-face. been waiting months to see if somewhere opened. learned about right to choose a few weeks ago and a clinic an hour away that does face to face assessments. first GP says she couldn't refer me there for reasons that further research suggests are wrong. saw a different GP today who was willing to refer me but a consultant roadblocked her and said i can only be referred to my city's services (which i think they're also wrong about) so i had to redo the adhd questionnaire, and now i have to see what they say. idk if my old results were too "outdated" to get a direct referral to my preferred clinic, but i first did this questionnaire within only the last year. i have a bad feeling they're just going to refer me to the same online service. again. in which case i'm going to have to make another GP appointment and start lodging complaints. hoping i'm wrong, this is exhausting. it's looking like private is my only option but my GP "can't" do shared care, and idk if i can afford the prescriptions without it lol.
 
A drawback of frequent Airbnb stays is the requirement for early departure and the subsequent wait for check-in access at the next location. Additionally, the perpetual packing and transportation of belongings can be cumbersome for those without fixed residences.
