He was scared and wanted to leave immediately. I’m assuming people had their own problems to even realize he was lost but still, it’s irritating to no end. He’s fine. We’re eating cake for days on end. It just sucked as he was looking forward to this for weeks now.
It was one of those Cub Scout retreat things which I’m automatically skeptical of, but this was the icing for me.
I wasn't a fan of the Cub Scouts, but Boy Scouts was magical and something that Kyle really needed. Again, I am sorry this happened. Yay for cakes for days at least.
I should note it’s the local chapter I’m skeptical of. The troop leader and den mother are married and have a child involved. He apparently tested positive for Covid a few weeks ago which means the meeting should have just been canceled. Yet the dad still showed up but then canceled for the “retreat” a week later due to his family having Covid.
That’s the kind of stupidity I’m dealing with. We didn’t go to the first meeting for that reason alone.
I am excited for Boy Scouts. It’s a different troop and I know the leader and he’s a good dude. Thankfully this is the only year of Cubs before then and I’m p sure we just quit till then.

When I was in college, I worked for an optometrist. It was the best job, largely because my boss was awesome. Just the nicest guy who would go out of his way for you. When I was thinking about law school, he took me to lunch with his friend who was a lawyer so I could talk to her and get some perspective. That sort of thing. It’s been eighteen years since we worked together, but we checked in from time to time, mostly through Facebook messages. His husband posted last night that he died yesterday afternoon, less than three months after being diagnosed with cancer. It’s just heartbreaking. It’s been said in this thread plenty of times before, and I am sure this won’t be the last, but fuck cancer.

They’re supposed to come do preventative maintenance stuff on our apartment today, and we’ve been basically expecting them since 9 this morning with no indication in sight as to when they’re going to show up. Josh didn’t work out today because of it (because he’d have been right in their way if he was doing it when they got here). We’re pretty sure they’ve been in at least some of the apartments around ours because we’ve heard noises that were out of the ordinary, and that is also stressing out the dogs. But every time I’ve been outside today, I haven’t seen them around at all.
Also, I got a very confusing work email that is stressing me out but I won’t go into that here.
And we have fleas. We’ve had dogs for 20 years without fleas being an issue, but we apparently bought a counterfeit batch of Frontline a while back, and they got a foothold, which they are relentlessly hanging onto. So now we get to buy the more expensive internal flea killer and hope we can get rid of them for good. Of course, the bigger dog is one pound too heavy for him to be able to use the same dosage as the smaller dog, so we have to get two full sets of it too.

Ugh. That is horrible. I am so sorry you are dealing with that. Especially the fleas. Fuck I hate fleas, they are horrible here. We had to make the permanent switch to the internal flea/heartworm meds years ago. Tyger is technically one pound too light and we give him the same one as Maya. I would double check with your vet, but I think you could get away with the same one for both.

Thank you! Yes, fleas are awful. That was one of the nice parts about living in Nevada. They were a complete nonissue there.
just ended 10 friendships because 2 people who didnt want me at a friendsgiving who disliked me managed to convince the rest of them not to invite me and exclude me. I deserve way better than that so i cut em all of. surreal given ive been friends w these people for around 7-8 years but hey. i’d rather have a few close friends than a bunch of fake ass motherfuckers. though thats what i get for surrounding myself w straight white men

That really sucks, but it sounds like you made the right call.

I hate today. 19 years ago today my son's father committed suicide. NINETEEN YEARS!!! Although it stopped him running and us chasing after him, it was also the day that Kyle would no longer ever have a dad or even a chance of reconciling or a relationship. Today, 19 years ago, I reached out to his family and they blew us off; only to try to come back into Kyle's life in March of this year (with a bunch of excuses, drama, blame and bullshit).
It's insane that I picked the worst person but still ended up with the best, even though the deck was stacked against Kyle and me. Anyway, fuck December 10th.

Thinking of you and Kyle. Sending you both my love.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

My husband was adamant that he wanted a “normal” Christmas this year, we never exchange gifts in the past but he made it very clear he wanted to this year, even telling me what he wanted. He didn’t get me a single present. Said he ran out of time. I got him everything he wanted, and ordered it a month ago to make sure he would get them.
So happy quarantine “fuck you Katy” Christmas to me

Babe. I am so sorry. Also, I just started shopping for you.

I've been busting my ass the past month after my boss left and I just got passed over for her position.
I'm rather disappointed at the moment.
That is a tough one for sure. Don't let it make you bitter though. One of the legends (i say this bc this happened before my time) of my office is an assistant manager who spent a good amount of time covering for a manager who was an alcoholic. When that manager inevitably got fired, the assistant interviewed for the job. They ended up going with a candidate from another section. The assistant caused such a scene when they found out that they were told to go home for the day. In the decade plus since, the assistant has given up trying to be better and has stagnated in their job probably missing out on other opportunities. You have never struck me as that kind of person to let something wreck you forever but wanted to encourage you to feel the garbage feeling but not let it keep you from seeing the next opportunity.

This is good advice.
Unrelated but will gas stations do a refund on a can of gasoline?

You work in retail, so you know insane reasons people want to return things for. With gas stations, it would depend on the owner. Companies are more likely to go along with it, so you don't blow them up on socials. Single station owners might tell you to fuck off bc their profit margins are razor thin.
