- Bought a tank and a betta, after being fishless for 10+ years. Let the tank cycle a couple days, feeling awful for leaving the fish in his cup. Now I wish I'd left him there longer, because hours after introducing him, he's dead. And I can't stop crying.
- My husband would be so perplexed over my reaction, because to him it's "just a fish." But it's not just that, it's that this was a beautiful tiny life that I snuffed out through some kind of stupid mistake. And maybe I still am overreacting, but I feel TERRIBLE.
- Apparently I've learned some kind of lesson, but I really would've preferred it not to be at the expense of someone else's life, and honestly right now I wish I could return the entire setup because I don't want it anymore.
- I just gotta say: I don't understand how any of you can cross stitch using paper patterns. I think I would have tossed it all away if that was all I had. Pattern Keeper (or more specifically, the ability to zoom in on sections and cross off finished sections) is a lifesaver.
- But now I have a handful of paper patterns, and there's no way in HELL I'd be able to do those without missing at least 5 rows somewhere.
- Big ol' jumping spider somehow made his way into my room. I've gotten over my fear enough to try holding the little ones, but he and I were having a standoff of "who's more terrified of whom?" He didn't want to crawl onto my hand, and I didn't want him launching into my face.
- I need someone to explain why a wedding ceremony is necessary. I thought that was just a frivolous/religious bit, and the marriage license was the only thing you actually NEEDED. I mean, both people have to show up to get the license anyway. Why does it also need a ceremony?
- How is it that I count, check, count, check, count...yet STILL miss stitches? And do I REALLY need to cut out 26 rows of stitches JUST because I missed 2 rows? >< I'm so mad right now. What a waste of floss.
- Been watching someone's Sims 4 legacy playthrough, and it's making me want to do it for myself. Except I think I'd need other people "with" me to make it fun, rather than just playing by myself. So I'm doing my ADHD "do a new thing," this time about a Twitch channel. lol
- Problem is, I have literally no skill at either building or decorating houses! And while I could probably just download something off the Gallery, I feel like it means more if the houses are custom-built? I DON'T KNOW, GUYS.
- Sleep doctor's office won't renew my gabapentin prescription unless I come in for an appointment. And on one hand, I get it. On the other, I'm not paying $60 just to say "Hi, yes I still need this, no I still can't afford a new sleep test, thanks bye!" -_-
- Radio played Genesis's "Jesus He Knows Me" yesterday, and I hadn't heard that song in YEARS but the music video immediately came to mind. If you haven't seen it, it's a pretty great parody on our obsession with televangelists. (and also it's a pretty catchy song but then--it's Phil Collins so ofc.)
- Flu and covid vaccines done! Get fucked, RFK, you shoe-leather-faced, worm-eaten piece of shit.
