Sorry for the TMI, but why in the name of all that's holy did that woman at the hospital give me a "stool softener" (not--it was a full glass of Miralax, & I didn't know any better) and then discharge me. My poor husband had to clean me and my car.

My poor husband had to clean me and my car. [ Oh no I’m so sorry! Sigh I’m all venty all the time right now. I had oral surgery Mon and my mouth hurts and the stitches are bugging me so I’m extra whiny lol. Dropped 2 things off at kohls for Amazon returns; didn’t notice clerk put the same tracking number in for both. So Amazon got one and not the other and I’m apparently out $40 for a pair of boots I did return. I totally screwed up and sent an online order to my former home that I moved from a year ago. Sadly the residents didn’t return the parcel or attempt to contact me. So I’m out $120 and a cute faux leather jacket. Shop Disney glitched the other morning during a virtual que shopping event and didn’t apply my free shipping code. Customer service refuses to credit the $17. I also asked for a price adjustment since I used a coupon and paid 39.99 for an ornament, customer service said I can’t have the price adjustment since it’s now $29.99 with the same coupon. I can’t find anywhere in their policy about not being able to price adjust if I used a coupon code but whatever. Except the ornament arrived today broken. So now I get to pay extra shipping to return it?!?! My sister is being a total grinch about the holiday she invited everyone on. My dad needs to clean up/out my grandmother’s house three years after she passed. It’s a hoarder situation and a filth problem from my uncle living there alone the last 3 years. But he’s had a stroke and in the hospital. Dad is motivated and making progress with the filth; my cousin and I started working on items to donate and photographs so the grands/great grands could identify any items of sentimental value they wanted. Thought we had my aunt’s permission, but when it started happening in reality she balked and said nothing can leave the house without her permission. She’s also had multiple strokes and is wheelchair bound and struggling with mental issues. She physically cannot go through the house. Social services will not let uncle back in the current state. House will end up condemned and everything inside trashed. Aunt insists my other cousin will sort it and have a yard sale. Um she’s out of the country and buried in profound grief because her 23 year old daughter died unexpectedly a few months ago. How do we get this mess sorted? No idea!

So sorry for everyone’s woes! Hugs all around!
Mine is that after nearly a full month, I still have this stupid cough and dry throat that keeps lingering on. While I’m very thankful that I’m very much improved from where I was initially, I really am over this irritating and annoying cough.
I’m also annoyed that it has been snowing here off and on for the last 3-4 days. I usually clear off the deck in back since that’s where I let our dogs in and out multiple times a day and I don’t like it when the big dog tracks the snow into the house. Anyway, it seems like no sooner do I get the current snow shoveled off, it snows a little more and I have to get out there and do it all over again. Either snow or don’t snow! Make up your freaking mind Mother Nature!

Tried to get a quad flu shot and the pharmacist told me that I had to be 65! I been getting quad flu shots for eons. I asked him to please check my record from last year but he refused. Told me he wasn’t allowed to administer a high dose flu shot to me without a prescription. I asked if he was a new pharmacist. He said he was a floater and has asked a more experienced pharmacist. I was stunned so I asked him how I was able to get a quad shot all those past years without a prescription. He told me the CDC guidance changed. I was ticked as I had waited over 20 minutes in line.
I went to my car to google this said CDC guidance. What comes up? Quad vs high dose. I didn’t ask for high dose. I marched back in and explained that he was confused. I just wanted the quad flu shot not the high dose one. I then asked rhetorically if I had to get back in line. He said yes. I got my Karen on and asked him why if he had made the mistake and not me. He said ok. I filled my paperwork out and got my shot.
After he apologized for the misunderstanding, I told him that we could have avoided all this if he just bothered to look at my record from last year.

Hope no one minds me bumping to add a vent.
My vent(s):
I'm tired of always having stuff that has to get done. There is just so much stuff and (it seems) not enough of me.
Which leads me to... I really want time for me. And I haven't been able to find any in a very long time. Months? A year+?
And then an unrelated vent but, I am so tired of nonstop advertisements. I can't go anywhere or do anything without seeing ads or hearing them. Watching tv, listening to music, walking to work (billboards, ads on vans, every sign, etc), while in work they're blaring on the loudspeaker nonstop (retail). Everything is sponsored. A community holiday display? The sponsors names are hung on ribbons as the ornaments.
I'm so weary anymore.

I’m sorry you’re struggling ((hugs)) Do you have a slot in your evening that you can set aside for yourself? I’m guessing not otherwise you would have done it but sometimes it’s a case of prioritising ourselves isn’t it. Easier said than done I know!

LavenderLayoutLady Vent away! I feel the same way sometimes and I only have my 14 yo grandson here, not 4 kids to handle. Hugs, dear Pea.

I am exhausted and burnt out and I wish people with my extension group would understand that.
Also wish PCP would listen to me about my knee. Been having issues since August. It hurts so bad at times I have issues getting to bathroom in time. She refuses to listen to me.
Also wish a guy with open mic would STFU with his advice. I don't think he means anything by it but he creeps me TF out. He forces hugs on me (and no one else) and keeps telling me to get checked for gluten intolerance. I am about to stop going because of him.

My vent is my son who is 23, has ADHD and most likely ODD is still living with us and can't keep a job more than 4 months. He is on the phone with my husband now complaining about me because I expect him to be up out of bed by 8:30 am when he just quit another job. I need a therapist!! We take money from him every week for his savings/rent and he complains about it.

I am about to stop going because of him. You need a new PCP. That is not ok. Can you schedule directly with an orthopedic specialist? Do not be embarrassed to make a big scene with the hugger! Step back, put out your arms to block him and LOUDLY tell him to stop. This is not ok. He's a creep. You can do it, my friend. Think of what you have overcome in the last year or two and remember you are STRONG.

Don't tolerate it--tell him you'll call the police if he touches you again. I'm serious; nobody should be subjected to unwanted physical contact.

I am out sick this week unexpectedly but was able to log in from home and email my employees the news and to say ‘contact this person for any questions or concerns’…. I got 5 texts today from 5 people. 🤦🏻♀️

Think of what you have overcome in the last year or two and remember you are STRONG. I sat with a group tonight that the hugger seems to avoid. One of them is like the 'group of regulars' Dad so hopefully that helps. I seem to attract these people (the hugger) and it is exhausting for me. I am like 'don't want to be touched but don't want to make a scene' me and my therapist have talked about it. May need to revisit it Tuesday
