Write whatever is bugging you.

My bestie has a new boyfriend and she's so happy and I love that she's happy.

But he's over liiiiiiiterally every night, he stays the weekend, he even canceled guys night tonight to hang out with her and I'm just tired of it. I'd like to be able to talk to my bestie. Spend time with my bestie. It's so frustrating because I get that she's got a hot thing going on and I don't want to interfere but at the same time I've managed to talk to her for thirty minutes in the last two weeks when we used to talk almost every night and it makes me feel lonely and a bit abandoned. I wouldn't expect her to talk every night or anything while she's dating but... like... I don't feel like wanting more than 30 minutes of her time in two weeks is asking too much. :/

Tbh it's making me resent this dude and I haven't even met him yet. Which the makes me feel bad for being grumpy but I just miss my bestie?

I don't blame you; that suuuuuucks.

My bestie from school is no longer my bestie, because she elevates any guy over her friends. She was like that as a teenager, but I thought she'd grow out of it. Newsflash, she did not, and she's 50. I'm married, too, but I find time to at least chat on the phone with friends!

I don't know that this will help you but whenever this happens with my bestie, I am very explicit about what I want? like "hey i feel like I haven't gotten time to spend with just us, can we do X at Y o' clock just you and me?"

On top of the health problems that are making it impossible for me to do stuff that I can't do while lying in bed, my first job 25 years ago gave me tendonitis in my hands and fingers due to typing 8-16 hours a day. It's never actually gone away, and every year when the weather gets colder, it amps right back up again.

So now my hands are stiff and hurt, and so the few pastimes I can still enjoy while lying in bed - writing fic and playing video games - also are a miserable experience. It's pissing me off, especially since I'm 60,000 words into a fic I've been wanting to write for something like 15 years.

Also, my job. AUGH. The people I work directly with are largely awesome, but because someone in charge decided that we should pay for this one web app to do some of our jobs for us, I've been working with one of the VPs on a project using it, and this morning we may have hit a wall with a limitation on it that we didn't know existed until we tried something and it failed. None of us can find a way around it. So I should've been done with my work week at noon, was online discussing and answering emails till five, and tomorrow I need to be available in case someone does find a fix because this problem prevented us from sending a few hundred emails that were scheduled to go out "Wednesday, or maybe Thursday, whenever I get the data".

I feel guilty about taking a four day weekend when I've just been sucking shit at work. I'll be checking in (I know, fuck off of work when you're off the clock, but the last three weeks have just been a shit show) tomorrow in case something explodes, but I still feel bad because everything's changing and I feel like I should have gotten my shit together enough to at least prepare a proper response plan for those filling in for me. But it just seems like there's no time. I just feel like they changed shit without a good transition or backup plan and if anything goes south, it's on me and I hate it.

On the bright side, I guess, four day weekend. I can only hope I get other shit done and that my time off doesn't suck.

It's October and the goddamn cockroaches still won't die fast enough. I don't want the 40s to hit and I'm still being terrorized by these little fucks.

I have been stung more this year than in probably the last decade. At least it wasn't my eyelid this time but a) I hate having to sneak out after dark to water my plants to avoid this fucking trigger happy wild hive b) that I got stung again anyway c) that I didn't manage to water everything before I got stung and it's gonna be 80+, dry, and windy tomorrow and d) it was my right arm at the elbow so my whole dominant hand and arm hurts and is likely to swell.

Also I got my clothes wet dropping the hose and while they're just a little damp now, it's cold out and now so am I.

I just got back from the supermarket, where I spent nearly an hour queueing for the checkout, because (as it seems everyone else in the city heard before me) we're probably about to go into a snap lockdown. We've been living free and easy for months, and one fucking arsehole came from interstate and decided he was too good for home quarantine, and now we're In This Shit Again.
On the up side, everyone in the supermarket was very nice and chill and friendly, despite everything - you know, queued politely, didn't grab at products, no shouting, all very civil.

A checked swing.

A checked swing.

A CHECKED FUCKING SWING?!!?!?!?!?!

I am unsure of what's happening here that you are angry about.

I am assuming it's baseball (I'm knee-deep in coding forms for work so "checked" meant something else entirely, and then the "swing" that came to mind was the playground kind, so I was also really bewildered for a second), but couldn't tell you which game this may have happened in. Presumably something was not called a strike that should have been. Or it was clearly a checked swing but got called a strike.

And this unfortunate call probably came where it had an impact on a close game's outcome, because this happens all the time in baseball but people rarely get really mad about it.

Unless I'm completely off and someone perhaps upholstered the playground equipment near OP's house in an ugly patterned fabric.

it was clearly a checked swing but got called a strike. And this unfortunate call probably came where it had an impact on a close game's outcome, because this happens all the time in baseball but people rarely get really mad about it.

Yes, it was this. The Giants-Dodgers playoff series ended on a checked swing that got called a strike.

I put in to have a half day at work so I could go camping this weekend and be able to set up my tent in the daylight. On our four person team one other person scheduled to be off today. Fine. Now another person called out for a family emergency. ERG. I won't just leave one person here stuck by herself if there are problems so I might not make it on time.
