My garbage didn't get picked up yesterday , because of the weather. I don't understand why because they have come before when the road was snow coveredand if I can make it out the road they can.
So I call. Their reply: if they don't get it today we can just leave the bags next to the bin next week and they will pick it up FREE OF CHARGE. Um not free I pay for a weekly pickup and they didn't do this week.
And what the hell am I going to do with full garbage bags? Can't leave them out for the animals to get into. And no room in the garage for them.

Can I add a first, second and third world vent, please?
I CAN'T SLEEP! I am losing my mind at this point. I am so angry and crying and can't sleep. I have tried all the sleep meds we have on the market here and nothing is letting me sleep. (Well I took the cinnamon bun making meds again and I slept and woke up with anger so bad that I was scared. I had to pick up a friend to go out shopping and I wanted to scream at her for no reason. I didn't, of course. But I wanted to. Who would think such a stupid thing? I mean I am glad I was able to control it, bt yeah yelling at her would have done wonders for the friendship.
There has to be something I can take to help me sleep that doesn't have side effects worse than no sleep.

Can I just say how sick to death I am of clicking on an interesting article only to have it be slides of the points being made. So if I want to read the article I have to click on each point and wait for it to load and read it before going onto the next point in the article. It interested me enough to click to tread the article, but hell if I'm going to go through all of that to read your stupid damn article.  |

My Blue Apron order didn't come... Um that was my dinner last night, tonight and Sunday.
I am a little annoyed.

And no room in the garage for them. We have amazing garbage service and they work almost every single day m-f. If there is a holiday, they pick it up the next day always. If we forget to put it out, they look for it. We also have quite a few bears (or just a really really busy one) so anything left out is usually on display the next morning. I guess I would just double bag them and leave them out. Hopefully they got to you today. |

There has to be something I can take to help me sleep that doesn't have side effects worse than no sleep. Look on youtube for mindful meditation for insomnia. Here is a link: link
I've had insomnia for years. This past winter my husband and I were going to marriage counseling at the VA with a therapist who specializes in PTSD. He taught us about mindfulness. A few months ago I decided to use it for my insomnia. It works! For the first time in years I can hop into bed, shut my mind off enough to relax and fall asleep, rather quickly too. The meds aren't doing you any good anyway and so now you can get to sleep without pumping drugs into your body. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose. It does take some practice to get into the habit. I swear it works. I can't even believe how well. Sure wish I'd learned it sooner. Disclaimer: I didn't use any of those videos, but rather used the techniques he taught us. If you were in my town I would teach you, but the concept is the same. Good luck and sweet dreams! |

My first world vent today is about the Amazon app on my iPad. It never remembers my password and every single time I want to order something or check on my orders, I have to log in - even if I did it just ten minutes earlier. Typing those 11 characters gets annoying very quickly! Bad Amazon app!  |

Delta Dawn My DH is BiPolarII and uses medical marijuana to help him stay asleep. We have tried many meds, and he is compliant with taking his meds. The MM works best. He used to use honey with marijuana, but the recent changes in the Vancouver by laws have stopped the sale of edible MM products. so he has had to use it in other forms, which have been less optimum. All that aside MM has been a benefit to him. Annette

I'll join.
So, last year I participated in a birthday swap with 7 other ladies. We each got one another a great bundle of goodies. This is a sewing group, so we made pillows, bags, mini-quilts, etc. One of the girls doesn't sew but she is part of our circle. For her birthday I made two kinds of homemade fudge and lots of other goodies. Value ~$50. When my birthday came around she got me one box of 8 notecards, that's it.
I chalked it up and tried really hard to let it go. This year we decided to just get birthday gifts for one person (you see where this is going right). I got her. Big girl panties! I sent her a box of all the things she loves (from last year, since she didn't make time to fill out the wish list this year).
I mailed it 2 weeks ago and she hasn't even acknowledged that she got anything. I'm pissed, but trying not to think about it.
Last year I had to ask her if she even got the box. This year, I sent it with tracking.

Here's mine... I have been PMSing all week, had to get out to do stuff yesterday, but wasn't really in the mood, couldn't find what I wanted, and after looking for about 20 min. and picking out a few things in a store, I went to check out, and their CC machine wasn't working. Then, I slept horribly last night. Today was a little better, although still feeling like crap, and needing a nap all day, because I am exhausted. My first world problem??? I want some Dryer's slow churned peppermint ice cream to wash away my yuckies, and no one has it. It's December! WHERE IS MY PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM?  Bleh. LOL I guess I'll just sleep it off...for tonight. |

Here's mine.
My mailman brought me two pieces of mail today.
One is my winter tax bill. The other is my Notice To Appear for my divorce, scheduled for December 22nd. Merry Christmas. At least they were kind enough to make it an afternoon 'appointment' as I don't do mornings very well.

I'm so tired of dh getting snappy at me when I talk about things that matter to me (why talk about it, I can't FIX it?"), but he expects me to listen to him drone on and on and on about whatever he wants to talk about.
I feel so lonely and don't have anyone else to talk to, and it sucks. Dh goes out and buys fun stuff whenever he wants, and I didn't go with him because he was "just going to get his medicine" or whatever. Then when I want to go somewhere he's too tired or feels bad.
It really boils down to I don't have good quality of life, and dh just likes to have me around for his benefit and isn't doing anything to make my life better. I'm so sick of having to beg for what I need.

I make a chai latte pretty much every day with the spicy chai from Trader Joe's. I somehow managed to run out earlier this week (shock! horror!) and when I finally found time to run to the closest TJs around (about 25 mins away), they were Out. Of. STOCK!!! There was a sign in the spot that said "Coming Back Soon" but ugh! I wanted it then, lol! Such a tiny little minor thing in the big scheme of life, but a girl's gotta have her latte!  |

My son ate my peppermint ice cream. It's a once a year product and my favorite flavor. I'd be venting too if that happened to me! My vent, why can't they make ambien for kids? |

Now I'm craving peppermint ice cream.
Mine is not a vent but a whine. Had the flu this week, even though I got the flu shot, and at one point i was fevered, weak, and on my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I passed out, came to with no memory of how I got on the floor, and have a very tender bruise on my head. Ugh.
