#mums stressed

[comfortableinthesilence]

Just when I think things are getting back on track another issue derails the plans! I'm between wanting to either scream, packing a bag and disappearing or just giving in. Ugh! I could do with a hug, that's for sure!

listening to a song very distinctly attached to a very bad period of your life and immediately having the mental equivalent of 10,000,000 lightning bolts hitting you at once

Every time I run into a weird adulting situation I feel so bad for adult orphans. Here I am, mumblety-for-internet-privacy-reasons old, more than a decade an adult, and I'm still reaching out to parents and grandparents going, "How do I determine if X is covered by homeowners insurance? What even is homeowners insurance?"

It's all very well to raise people to adulthood, but how do they get by without this sort of support?

Tyler hated his mom

Well, not completely atleast. He knows he shouldn't hate her. She's been through alot and he shouldn't be selfish and ignore everything she's done for him. His mom's tried her hardest even when she couldn't get out of bed. Suffering through guilt that plague the whole family wasn't easy on her.

But it wasn't easy on him either. Does saying that make him selfish? Is he nothing but an ungrateful brat because he wants people to acknowledge that he suffered too? That he isn't just the hard working player like everyone see's him as. What if he wants the same kind of support everyone else in his situation would be getting? What if he wants to talk about the grief he's feeling without the crushing guilt that comes along with it? The guilt that comes when he remembers that not everything's about him and that he needs to stop being so self-centered and focus on everyone else who needs help. Because he doesn't really need help.

No he's fine.

People don't acknowledge enough how messed up tenrose could get, but i lovvvve messed up relationships. Can you imagine a universe where the plan in Doomsday was successful? I think a lot of people imagine this as "they would be happy and in love forever", but can you imagine them coming down from the adrenaline high and the the stress of the situation. And now Rose has to deal with the fact that she abandoned her mother. That she'll never see her mother again, and that her mother will never see her again?

my mum just called me and asked "do you wanna watch that show you like with me... hazbin hotel?"

I am shaking

and funnily enough I was listening to the song "that beautiful sound" from beetlejuice the musical

and as she said that it went "panic and stress (panic and stress) oh ain't it the best? (ain't it the best)"

just as the 2 main things I was feeling were panic and stress

update: she turned it off less than 10 minutes in bc it was too "graphic" after telling me that she was older than me and could handle it... liar

wrote a poem for my mum for the last day of the lunar new year. 2022 was her year since she was born in the year of the tiger :)

Right so hear me out, we're in the Hallelujah Mountain base and Quaritch has decided he needs to inspect the compound for security reasons. So basically, Military!Reader has to tidy up QUICKLY, and hide their cat which they SOMEHOW, illegally, smuggled onto Pandora (don't ask, I haven't worked out how yet) and they're really stressed about hiding it before Quaritch turns up. Discovery will result in Military!Reader having to return to Hell's Gate and face rotating home, or Quaritch shoving the cat outside to teach them a lesson.

Logically, the only thing to do is get everyone else in the compound involved. I mean, Grace and the Colonel are natural enemies, so it would be laughably easy to convince her to get on board. So within hours, Grace has roped in the others, and there's a plan for Jake to get rid of the cat hair whilst Norm puts the cat in an exopack and sneaks it out back when Quaritch enters to carry out his inspection. Meanwhile, Trudy is on standby to stuff the cat in the helicopter as a very last resort, whilst Graced nags the man's ear off to distract him.

In exchange, Military!Reader just have to act as security for that day's forest mission since Trudy's sick. It's a win win :D

ANYWAY, to cut a long - and excellently thought out - story short, come morning, Military!Reader now has a much bigger cat to hide.

(Tsu'tey followed them home because they've been growing closer and he's assured all of them he'd be long gone before the helicopter arrives. In simple terms, he is in no way a morning person, and is too big to move. Very quickly, it becomes the whole compound's problem.)

Cut a tense but funny sequence of three fully grown adults (Norm, Trudy, Jake) trying to sneak out a groggy Tsu'tey as well as the cat, whilst Military!Reader fails to keep a poker face, and Grace wonders how the hell she ended up in this situation.

And yes, Tsu'tey and the cat become best friends.

Post-revolution Annie just posts random videos of Finnick and their son on the internet and they always go viral because people have only ever seen Finnick as playboy extraordinare and now they see Finnick being a dumbass father who's trying his best and it's very endearing and 90% of the time the camera pans out to an unimpressed Johanna or Katniss and it's great

[faunandfloraas]

I was having such a nice night but then my mother accidentally left the back door open behind her and my oldest cat took off and usually he just comes back fast but now it's been two hours, no jingle of a bell- no meow, no nothing, and I have literally searched the entire front and back yard, my neighbours yards, even went down to the street behind but he's just vanished into thin air and I don't know what to do

TICKETS ‼️ BUT AT WHAT COST

[hella1975]

so there's a reason my new job got back to me so quickly about my application and that's bc it's an absolute fucking shambles like actually perfect timing for me to decide to rewatch the bear bc i have never more felt like ive been thrown into a broke on-its-knees establishment trying to crawl its way up the ladder where i am somehow a godsend to them. my old job was crazy and shambolic in the sense that the industry is just Like That but this one?????? insanity. every 5 mins i am questioning what im doing with my life. ive already had a walk-in fridge moment

[introvertedlass]

So...

ice cream is perfectly acceptable to eat for dinner, right?

Patient: Why have I been billed for this?

Me: I don't know. I'm not pathology, you need to ring the pathology department and query that with them

Patient: Can I read the item numbers out to you and you can check them?

Me: No. I'm not pathology, I don't have pathology records, I don't have pathology billing codes. Please ring the pathology department

Patient: This is very frustrating. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Me: I would ring the pathology department and ask them why they've billed me because I am not familiar with Medicare billing practices for pathology specifically and need them to explain it to me

Patient: So you can't tell me ANYTHING?
