got up at 5:00 to get to the gym this morning before work. kitchen sinks were backed up full of gross water. laundry room floor had a nice layer of water on it going into the pantry (luckily backed up from the washer, so clean water, but somewhat detergenty water). spent my morning draining the sinks and snaking the pipes. ran my 50' auger all they way in and broke up some clumps of something. realized previous owners installed the pipes under the sink wrong. had to skip the gym and got to work over an hour late. hopefully I fixed the clog, but won't know til I get home and properly re-run the piping under there and can run some boiling water and baking soda/vinegar through 'em. thank goodness I had some empty chlorine buckets lying around because I had to drain like 6 or 7 gallons of water.
My job makes me hate life and humanity and myself. I want to quit but I can’t find anything else that comes close to meeting my financial needs that isn’t basically the same job as what I have now. It’s not the company it’s the actual work.
So the pups went to the vet at the beginning of the month. Maya had a weird growth on her eye, so we scheduled surgery on this past Tuesday. Surgery went great, but yesterday I noticed she smelled weird, so I look her over and notice she had poop stuck to her backside. I had to bath her (carefully to not get her face/stitches wet) and I notice it looks off back there. Wake up this morning, it happened again this time mixed with blood. So now we are going BACK to the vet.
I am still only bartending, this is not the time for this to be happening. I am stressing out and have already spent way too much money and now will need to spend more. Just frustrated right now and worried about my princess puppy.
UPDATE: Vet called, cancelled the appointment and set us up with some meds. They checked her glands when she was under and think this is do the anesthesia and stress from the surgery/vet appointment. They gave us a GI antibiotic and said it should start working immediately. Fingers crossed.

How is Maya doing?
Today was the first day that I didn't have to wipe her ass! So we're definitely on the road to recovery. It had gotten a little better every day over the weekend. After today she has two days of antibiotics she has to finish. Fingers crossed this is it.
Some days my job has been infuriatin’ the last few days. I was hired as an entry level IT guy and our small company just has one other IT person: my supervisor. Nice enough guy, but also kinda useless at work. And since I’ve been hired literally everyone in the office just comes to me with their problems. Half the time I can’t help them and they have to wait on my supervisor to get around to them.
Currently I’ve been tasked with figurin’ out a person’s issues with their Samsung Galaxy tablet and why it won’t print documents correctly from her printer. She’s been callin’ almost twice a week fer some four weeks about issues. As IT support I’m happy to help, but I was only given one of these tablets two weeks ago! How can I troubleshoot anythin’ if I don’t even know what they are workin’ with?! My boss’s solution: “Just Google the problem and figure it out.”
Fuck this stupid shit so hard. Time to get back to studyin’ so I can get some IT certifications and peace the hell outta here.
Therapist.... if you have trouble sleeping you should really limit your blue screen in take... Me... um, ok. (37 year old me never thought of this) Therapist.... sounds like you are unwilling to change your lifestyle to conform your sleep schedule? Me... no, you're just asking me to change my entire creative lifestyle and job description to fit in the scheduling system that creates a normal 10pm-6am sleep schedule? Therapist... but those blue lights and screens... they must be the reason why your sleeping pattern is off, we can also ship you more sleeping drugs?! Me.... (Just taking in how hollow the answer is) Therapist... (Not asking when and how the lack of sleep is associated with trauma) Us: I guess this phone call is over
Adding for additional facts: Living in a city means sometimes living across the street from a STRONG blue light that goes through your black out curtains. I very specifically have nightmares of rejection from every group I know, every single night since a certain time last year when my sleep schedule got disrupted. I cannot turn OFF the nightmares, I've learned to accept multiple sleeps to obtain enough physical sleep though it means a lack of REM sleep. But fighting it off doesn't work. I literally wake up at 3am in a panic because of how dark the nightmares become. I think my therapist is crap and it's time for me to buckle down and re-assess how I get psych care

I can't speak for Mr Deto but personally it has been super hard to find mental health professionals these days, unfortunately. Especially any that can prescribe drogas.

Yeah I have heard the same here. thejeremy's therapist retired and it took him almost 3 months to find a new one.
UGH my family gave me shit cholesterol genetics. I already exercise near-daily, don't really have weight to lose, I take my omega-3s, have maybe 3-4 beers a week at most, and don't eat like a total shmuck. The result? Triglyceride level of 253. Normal is 0-149. Like fuuuuck do I really have to become an herbivore just to not have a heart attack?
not to reply to this over year old post but its kind of comforting to see someone else on this board talk about this, i also found out that have pretty high levels of cholesterol due to fucking genetics and it sucks that i’m going to have to revamp my diet pretty extensively. i have 192 trigs, 266 total chol and 189 ldl. had only a 212 total and 127 ldl in jan 2021 so its a pretty big rise. really dont want to go on a statin because youre on it for life so i’m just gonna eat a shitload of oatmeal, fruit, legumes etc and cut out eggs. out of curiosity, did you end up making any big changes after this to lower them?

I only eat fish and even though my levels are just in range - they are all pretty high on the chol count - if I had a bad couple months over doing fish and not doing my daily exercise, it's time for my slender ass to go full vegan.

I will tell you that my chol count is around 148 and that's with my fish only diet... most of my other relatives had heart problems by this age too - so I'm on the precipice of having to be a vegan when I hit 40
i dont even eat meat, but i think the cheese, eggs, and processed foods are what i need to cut out. its just bizarre because ive never felt physically limited by this before and still dont. swapping out oatmeal w fruit every morning instead of an egg and cheese will help im sure. saw someone on reddit call oatmeal draino for your veins. I did start taking my vitamins again which includes magnesium, b12 and omega 3 so that should get it down too.
My job is highly sedentary as well and I have grad school on top of that so its gonna be vital to get more exercise in too.

Interesting timing; I just got my blood drawn on Wednesday and should have results back in the next day or two. Though I did have follow-up bloodwork done a few months after that initial post and my trigs went from 253 to to 157, though my total cholesterol went from 177 to 203. Tbh I didn't make any big changes other than a stint or two of ultra healthy eating that I usually attempt to do from time to time anyway. Also from what I've read it seems like the science is starting to support the notion that dietary cholesterol doesn't really translate to the cholesterol in your blood all that much. I don't think they really know.
It's 45 degrees outside, and the radiator still hasn't gone on. I've complained twice already. I'm wearing a sweater and a coat to just sit in my room, and obviously the living room is colder.

We finally decided it was time to turn the heat on, but the upstairs unit isn’t coming on. It’s new this year, so it’s under warranty, but it’s still frustrating.

Little things, it is under warranty!
This is totally stressing me out. He’s been here over an hour. Spent ten minutes in the attic and said they failed to install a kit that was supposed to be installed when they put the unit in. He’s been in the crawlspace the rest of the time even though the downstairs unit was working. He said it’s working but it’s not working right. I guess they also didn’t install the kit on it, but I don’t know why that one is running but the upstairs one is not. His explanations have been very vague, and we’re already late giving the dogs breakfast, and this thing is brand new and expensive and I’m really annoyed that they apparently didn’t install it right to begin with and this is how I have to spend my Friday when there are other things that need doing.

Ugh that really sucks. Just remember deep breaths, it is getting fixed, it is brand new and you should not have an issue for a very long time after.
I am sorry you are having to deal with it when it is brand new. So dumb.
Nice. Mine is currently cranked up to 76. Glad my mother in law left western NY for the winter. She lived down here for 30 years and can’t take those winters anymore even though she grew up there. Can’t say I blame her but I don’t mind it for a couple of days when I’m up in the tundra.
