What's Bothering You?

Today is one of those days where everything that can go wrong has. My grocery trip lasted x3 as long as expected and cost me double in travel than it should have. With other issues cropping up along the way. I'll spare the essay.

So in a rotten mood, I decide to treat myself to a grande matcha frappe from Starbucks. I don't think I've had one in three years. And they get my order wrong. With everything else that went wrong today I feel like I should have expected it. Normally I wouldn't complain at a wrong order if I don't dislike the food/drink but it was such an awful morning and that was supposed to be my treat to cheer myself up. Thankfully they then made the correct drink for me with no fuss, but I felt bad pointing out the mistake. I was polite about it but still feel bad. 🥲
 
Mention of violent incident

A terrible day in Vancouver. Something horrible happened at the Filipino festival last night. I'm not opening Instagram or Twitter cause people insist on sharing videos. I almost saw the video last night on Twitter, makes me feel sick for those innocent people.
 
trying to pick up our cat's body to take him to be cremated and for some stupid reason the emergency vet still has him? but they and their phone line aren't even open until 7PM when said crematorium closes. why do they even still have him when they're an out of hours place and crematoriums are going to be closed? what do they expect us to do with a dead cat's body overnight? why tell us to contact for a pick-up time when your line isn't even open during the day? and the day vet in the same area just gave us the SAME useless number. i'm actually so annoyed, as if this entire process/situation isn't hard enough. where is my damn cat, i just want to put him to rest.

I just found out this upcoming PS5 game will be $70. While it’s more expensive for a video game, that’s still less than Nintendo’s $80 price tag on their Switch 2 games, showing that Nintendo has spiked their prices harder than their competitors.

I have to say, between John D Rockefeller (famous monopolist) and Nintendo, Rockefeller isn’t as greedy.
 
I don't think I'm going to be happy in life. The world is full of negativity. What's the point of anything? I'm miserable no matter what I do. I want to stay strong, but I don't think I can anymore.

Also, I hate being told (especially by my family) to "stop crying". It's unhelpful and does the opposite effect. Just let me cry without judgement. **** me for being upset, I guess.
 
My partner has been invited to a flat-warming party May 17th. We are celebrating my birthday that night. She's even asked me to move my celebration to the 16th, to which I reminded her we are celebrating the 17th because she already asked me to move it from the 18th (actual birthday) even though I didn't want to. Then she asked if she could duck out early to go to the party.

Now she's in a bad mood and I'm feeling so guilty (although she was already in a bad mood because of a friend ghosting when they had plans tonight and I think that is bleeding into this). Am I really that awful for standing my ground this time? I don't want to celebrate on a work day, I won't have the energy to properly enjoy it. It makes me feel like I'm not a priority. She sees her friends multiple times a week it isn't like this party is a rare occurrence.

edit: y'know what? Typing this out helped me find the way to articulate what I'm feeling to her. She understood why I interpreted it that way and apologised.

I've lost all motivation for anything. I won't see two of my favourite people on this planet anymore after graduation in two months. Every time I look at either of them I just start sobbing. My mom's threatening to go through my room while out of the country if it's not clean, like she isn't the reason why the mess has been building up for a year and a half. My show opens this week and the entire set broke within the last 5 minutes of today's rehearsal. I leave the country in four days and my period is looking to line up exactly with that trip. Me, my boyfriend, and our ex-friend, who I've known for 2 years and he's known his entire life, are constantly fighting. I can't do anything right and I want it to stop.
 
I was having a really bad panic attack and been anxious all night because of my dentist appointment. was just starting to feel better; my dad opens my door without knocking and is loud as usual to tell me we’re leaving in 20 minutes which startled me and made me panic again. Also got no sleep because Jewels kept whining, even after kicking her out of my room. I don’t want to go with my dad since he doesn’t treat his anxiety or allergies and it doesn’t help mine and he drifts in and out of lanes when he drives which scares me (and his driving). His temper too partly because of his anxiety has always made me nervous.

He just hollered again asking if i’m getting up and it startled me even more.

Since when do I eat before a dentist’s appointment? Then again, he has never gotten to know things I like or don’t like.

About ten minutes we’re leaving he said…one minute later it’s time to go and he says we have to leave 15 minutes when I asked why he said we’re leaving in about ten minutes. he said he didn’t. he is so anxious he wants to always be there an hour early. Now he says we have to leave fifteen minutes early and it takes 5 minutes to get there. he really is going downhill.

No comments or replies please.

Had to take a small road trip and the amount of road kill makes me sad.....

Plus, I saw two live turtles trying to cross. I wish I could've stopped to help :( I hope they made it safely or, better yet, decided to turn around and stay put.
My dad once rescued a turtle in the middle of the road and gave it to my sister as a pet. It only lived for a year and my sister didn’t really know how to take care of a turtle and didn’t give it enough water to swim around in. She knows now how to properly keep pet turtles and what to feed them.

*edit* For context as to why my sister had absolutely no idea how to take care of a pet turtle, she was only seven years old and in the second grade. It was also a wild turtle which doesn’t help matters. I don’t remember too much about it because I was two years old at the time. All I remember is the turtle being kept in this tiny wash tub used to bathe babies when they are really young.

Going back and forth on these two decisions:

Should I start a new playthrough of Breath of the Wild and actually take my time with the game this time around? (Original playthrough: Early September 2023 to mid October 2023.) I wasn’t really a fan of the Zelda series at the time and just played it just to play it.

Should I get a Wii-U? (And no, I don’t own a GameCube or Wii.) I really want to play The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. I know the og version of The Wind Waker is coming to Switch 2 online but the remake seems better. (The graphics are better.)

Tough decisions…
