I’ve been sick for the last few days, so naturally the house looks like a bomb has gone off because apparently I’m the only person who knows how to clean. I feel as rough as a badgers arse still but I can’t identify where the kitchen sides are, so at the very least I need to unearth them.
Had to close the windows as there’s a lovely sewage smell permeating the area from a burst pipe down the road.
Payment failed for renewing my monthly train ticket online, it is sitting in pending status until the 4th apparently it will be reversed then. Had to buy a ticket at the station. So, I’m down like 600 quid and it is pissing me off
Having lots of spam calls at the moment. Ugh.
Also pretty annoyed at HR. I was asked to help a colleague interview someone at 4pm – turns out the person had a medical emergency and had told HR they needed to reschedule at 9am. We only found out 20 minutes into the time slot because we had to keep chasing the HR contact. I’m sure they’re busy but that was almost a whole working day they had to drop us a quick note. Again, ugh.
I live in the South but have a show to play in York on Saturday. Was supposed to crash at a friend’s house in Leeds and was really looking forward to seeing her. She’s just cancelled saying she has covid. I pretty much only accepted playing the show so I would have an excuse to see her, so instead of driving the 4 and a bit hours up the day before and hanging out, I’m now doing a round trip of over 8 hours in a single day to play a show I could have done without playing.
In the last couple months this is the 3rd time she’s cancelled plans short notice. If she has covid this time fair enough, but i keep trying to make plans because I feel pretty lonely and miss my friends, and when she keeps cancelling it just makes that feeling so much worse.
Last 2 times she cancelled was for hanging out online, the last time cancelled at the minute we were supposed to meet because she went out to dinner instead, the other time cancelled long into the evening with no word. And now this time as well. Makes me feel really insignificant. I consider her one of my dearest friends and I really feel like an afterthought sometimes.
I think i need to just take a step back. It’s on her to reach out now because I keep putting myself out there only to get hurt.
Found a flea on Saturday, but of course the one you find is just the unlucky one.
Bowls of water left out as traps (with a drop of washing up liquid to break the surface tension. Yay, Science!) have collected several more and I’ve got bites now.
I am hoovering and spraying flea spray every day and I think I’m winning, but previous comments about the flea lifecycle being ridiculously OP still apply and I’m expecting it will be a few weeks until the last egg I can’t reach has hatched and started looking for breakfast and wanders onto treated carpet.
The skirts for my daughters school uniform were meant to be able for pick up today. Had a text to say it’s delayed til Saturday afternoon. Not too bad I guess but I also can’t find any suitable shoes that fit her since she’s got narrow feet and the school say plain black shoes only. I want to ask other parents for advice but I don’t personally know anyone with kids at that school and I can’t get on the schools FB group as it’s private and you have to answer questions and one is who is her form tutor or the head of year, I have no idea of either they hadn’t confirmed forms for the year 7s on the experience days as there’s a bigger uptake than usual.
I can’t stand when people say ‘I’ve got mental health’ to describe their mental health ISSUES. It should be ‘I’ve got bad mental health’.
We don’t say ‘I’ve got physical health’ if we’ve broken a bone for example, do we.
Everyone has mental health, it’s either good or bad etc.
Arghhhhhh.
Massive spot on the side of my nose.
Also I’ve had to move to a different desk at work, which means I’ll probably spend most of the morning moving things around so I’m comfortable.

I do like Spam though, so there’s that.
