As web says. We got you fam.

maaaaaaaaaaan damn rules

I still say you're in in .

<--closest thing to a hug emoji we have here. I'm sorry you had to experience that from those turds. You have come through a lot and you know we all love ya and have your back here. Proud of you with what you have accomplished to get to here!

Yay! I'm sure you totally got this

That sucks. wish there was something that could be more helpful dealing with it.

Dude Wab we need a fucking Hug reaction.

My roomie kinda went through something similar with his current new(ish) GF. They've been going out for a handful of months I think. Her mother who she had been taking care of and living with passed away recently. And there was a time where they didn't see each other for awhile and while he gave her space, he was starting to worry that things with them would fall through. He still made sure to text her and at least check in on her while giving her space, if they had plans and if she ended up feeling not up for it (like on one occasion she found some of her parents paperwork on something and it sent her in an emotional spiral) so there were times that they cancelled. But in the end, like Galeigh said, my roomie was honest with her and let her know that he was still in for this (even went to the funeral with her which she was grateful for) and they're starting to get back on track. So no, it's not stupid that you feel something for him in a short amount of time. Your feelings are valid. And yes respect his space and give him time to sort himself out, but just make sure you're being honest with him and your feelings and even if he might not be feeling like hanging out. Let him know you're there to cheer him on when he's job hunting, or thinking of him (I'm sure this sounds rambly preaching or something so forgive me if it does) I hope things get worked out, you look cute together.

So after much of a delay for the last few months and other stuff happening the last couple weeks. My room mate is fully moved out and in with his GF. And tonight marks the first night I am living on my own, without any room mates. For those that don't know, I have always lived with a room mate, I once lived with as many as 5 at one point but never truly on my own and alone since moving out of my folks house. The only reason this has changed now is about last year or so when the (now gone) room mate had approached me saying that he and his GF had talked about wanting to live together after they have been dating for about 2ish years at this point. Which I totally get. But I did not want to live with him AND the GF because I've been down that road before and while I have nothing against his GF, no red flags or anything. I didn't want to go through that set up again. Which he understood but was sad about it. And around here trying to find reliable room mates through friends circles (let alone through strangers and adding COVID into things) I ended up doing math and things in my head and I figured I could attempt to finally just be without room mates. And they were able to get an open unit in our complex here just in one of the buildings next to mine so he's not far and we both are having an open door policy since we've essentially been platonic life mates for over 15 years. So there's that. We just got done doing dinner treating friends who helped moved the last of boxes and furniture that needed to be moved and currently sitting down having a drink and more or less processing some thoughts that I haven't had a chance to between work and trying to do social life with the state re-opening fully here. I won't lie I'm in a weird head space right now. I know I'll be fine in the end and enjoy being alone in this aspect but right now....it's really weird.

That totally sucks. Hope you year results soon and that they're favorable. *gentle hugs*

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have been trying to keep negative RL stuff separate from my online presence since like it was said. This is something that is gonna suck when it happens. The feels got overwhelming after getting off the phone with mom and brain got to thinking about all the things of life stuff. My grandma's a fucking firecracker who's outlived her siblings, parents, and husband. Dealt with a lot of outer circle family drama like a champ. And has taught me a lot of how I wanted to be as a person. Watching her have that spark drain out of her is hard af.

I have no idea if it was a similar change here. I just know it's always been that way before the merger. The company that owns Safeway/Albertsons now tho is Cerberus so idk if they gave any shit about things like that.

Niiiiiice what kind of cruise? Tomorrow I leave for one of my nerdy medieval things. I'll be back Sunday.

Happy Christmas Eve guys!

That's okay. You don't need fam like that anyways. You got Galeigh and us. Dats enough. I know i would have def thrown back if i was there. Body slam style.

That is a lot to unload. But I am glad you were able to vent. Also I missed this thread. First off my condolences for your loss. I can only imagine how aggravating it was to have to wait before moving along with the services. Secondly KITTY!!!!!!

I believe in the 'Verse!

So even though work was crazy and we had Corp doing a walk through. One nice thing did happen to give the feels. Earlier one of my regular customers came in with a stack of lost dog posters. My boss had to tell her that sadly we couldn't post it in our windows but we could take one for our break room if she wanted. She didn't end up leaving a poster with us but right about an hour before my shift ended today, One of my girls from bakery came over and told me these customers were trying to wrangle in a lost dog away from the parking lot and it had no collar. The dog followed behind her and surely enough it was THAT dog from the posters earlier. So I'm trying to wrangle the tiny thing, succeed (after it piddled from being terrified) And I'm trying to wrack my brain to see how we could contact the lady from earlier since she didn't leave a poster with us. Luckily one of the customers who were trying to help wrangled it offered to go to one of the posters she saw on a nearby street behind my store and called the number. Within minutes the owner comes to collect the dog and was in tears. Saying that he just moved here recently and that the dog saved his life once. Definitely made my day worth it when we get a lot of times where people will try to look for lost dogs but usually no one finds it that fast.

He does know that the cat's giving him free fertilizer right? Also sorry to hear about the guy you look after. Hopefully something gets through to him.

All the hugs and feels your way hun.

Thanks bebe. One of the reasons I didn't want to go through trying to find another roomie other than covid was strangers are a hard pass vs possible consideration back when I was like 20. And a lot of my friends are either in relationships or are going different paths. So this was something that I knew was going to be inevitable over time. And as long as rent doesn't go up, I should be able to cover his share of rent okay. I've already got money put aside that I started since Mega (using his gamertag nickname for reference) and I had first started talking about this last year. I already pay the utilities because they were cheap enough here and now that the car is being paid off I'll have 1 less debt to take up space and can put into rent and other debt tabs. So why not? I've also had a lot of people reach out to let me know if I need anything, just say so. Buuuuuut I'm shitty at reaching out so we'll see how that works. I promise to take picks of before stuff and after I redecorate and reorganize stuff or give a tour of the place at the next Zoom meeting.

You needed the workout right?

Whooooooo gurl yaas!

Today starts a long ass week of 9 day straight work week. Mainly because I asked for time off next weekend so that I can do a friends small vaxxed bday gathering. For preparation I am practicing test cookie decorating for the occasion. She likes the Untitled goose game so I'm finding ways of how I want to decorate it and this is test #1. Not too terrible for first attempt. (I was testing cutter sizes too to make sure how much space I had to work with)

Honestly I've gotten semi-used to waking up early. I've been doing the Scan team for roughly 2 1/2 years now and there's a few pros to it - More productivity than being in a checkstand - Pretty much all shifts begin either 3-1 hour before we officially open the store so I don't have to interact with customers as much and when we do open it's what early birds there are that come in but pretty much don't tend to bother you unless they need to. - I get out earlier in the day with gives me the rest of the time to either run errands, somewhat have a social life/plans afterwards - I get to have my music on me until we open the doors. - Having Scan shifts in between cashier shifts helps my sanity of the stupidity of the checkstands with either people or coworkers drama. Cons: - Dealing with weirdo/druggies/shoplifters when we open the store - Getting up early - Occasionally knees or thighs aching from constant squats. - Still waking up early on days off or if I'm scheduled later in the day shifts. (My internal "sleep in time" is roughly 5:30-6 am)
