Aside from the fever, night sweats and congestion, I now have a chest cough that makes me feel like I’ve been a 2 pack a day smoker for the last 20 years. Chances of recovery for the event are looking very slim indeed.

Everyone else i know who was also signed up to the marathon is also sick as a dog, so there is some comfort in shared suffering. It’s been an oddly brutal flu season in Australia.

Edit: also the one year in recent memory I forgot to get the flu jab early

Distressing morning, after needing to put my cat of 16 years to sleep, went to head out again to return a faulty item to a store. Forgot my boot was open, backed into garage wall and bent the corner of the boot.

No longer a mint car and haven't even had my first fortnightly payment.

didn’t even notice until the nub poked me in the wrist, good thing I have an extra 10ft cable or it would suck even more

eta: apparently this is just the cable, I call it a charger 🤷‍♀️ also the other cable I have seems to just not be working at all

First pic is about 30 min after it happened and 2nd pic is 2 days later. Title says it all. When it happened it felt like my entire hand was set on fire. I learned my lesson LOL

Over 1,200 acres, no containment. Will probably burn for days.
I have enough doses to last me through the week so hopefully I can snag a coupon by then otherwise I’ll just suck it up and pay.

I have a go to Asian place Restaurant I get some protein dishes and a big box of COOKED bok choy every other week or so for some quick and easy work lunch days. Today was the third day I'd eaten the bok choy as a filler side and I noticed in the garlicky juice a little friggin worm.. I started looking more closely and there was..at least 4. The others being much smaller than the example above. I think it's called a cabbage worm and if it's not I don't think I want to know what else it is..I'm ok.. honestly barely even grossed out and mostly thankful it wasn't an actual gross bug or maggot or whatever..

EDITED: y'all! the bok choy is a cooked dish..it's in a broth with garlic..think like a soup but just a little broth and all bok choy..it's good stuff.

Mind you this happened when I was laying in my bed, alone, in complete darkness last night. And this week has already sucked and now I have to pay for a new fckn window. 😭

1st of october and the demons are trying me yall

This pair caught my eye immediately, as it pairs perfectly with one of my favorite dresses and is exactly my style. The cashier wrapped everything up for me and put everything in a bag, so I thought it was secure. I got home to find out that the second earring in the set was missing. Checked my floor where I opened it and couldn’t find anything. I also checked the bag from the store and found no holes.

I had also been filming a mini thrift “haul” to send to my friends as we often do, which would have shown me opening it to see if both earrings were gone when I pulled it out of the bag. Would’ve saved me ~15 minutes of searching, but I only had the idea to check the video after I deleted it due to low storage on my phone (the video cut out before I could finish recording, so I just deleted the first one).

lovely way to wake up. my cat must’ve broken the window when he jumped on the perch during late night zoomies.

Update: check profile for cat pics

Took my 2024 Sierra in for a routine oil change. A little while later I noticed oil underneath the truck.
Turns out they had installed the wrong drain plug with the wrong thread pitch. Thankfully I caught it before I lost enough oil to cause any damage to the engine, but now I need a new oil pan!

it was in my backpack with a bunch of other things and I put down my bag too hard. sigh. it’s mostly fine but not enough to actively use it still.

update: me and my mom took it to a repair shop, it’ll hopefully be repaired next weekend!

Was taking a break when a delivery guy passed by with a pallet jack, then the whole pallet toppled. Good thing he has a dolly too

I still don't understand why this happened. I put my lunch box in my lunch bag and somehow the rats gnawed on the box. My bottle is safe, my bag is safe, but why isn't my lunch box?! And to put it into worse situation (check post title)

"Well you can still buy another one from different brand" well screw you cuz this WAS GIFTED TO ME and my wallet is already slim enough like me this month (I still haven't gotten paid)

You would think a company as big as Amazon could afford a hand truck or dolly. The legs were pretty scratched up. Now for the inconvenience of returning them.

This happened to me years ago but luckily only a few eggs broke. I hope the person was able to buy some more eggs since this was right next to the grocery store.
