There are plenty of things I cannot do for my customers for data privacy reasons, so even if it takes several hours & multiple emails & calls, I must somehow talk them through things. Today however the customer was stuck on a 5 second task & I truly don't know how to combat that level of ignorance -

Me: I cannot focus this week or catch up at work at all

I have been attempting to pay for the cremation of my partner's dad for a week now. Finally got the brother who is executor to give me the amount due today & he only has Zelle. Limit is $3.5k/day. Fine. But per transaction is $1k. And it won't let me send a 2nd transaction to the same person...

For what it's worth, if you're making a parent do intake for therapy for a kid, the family medical/mental history is best done via form, not verbally on a call. Sometimes the family mental history is ROUGH and it's not the easiest topic for 10am on a random Wednesday morning...Just. Saying.

Daughter kept asking for a million things in the car on the way home today. The last two were her kinetic sand and chocolate.
Me: baby we're not even home yet, pick a struggle!
Daughter (pouty but determined): ...but I want to play AND I'm hungry!
Fair play, honestly. Can't argue that.

My teen's Dexcom decided it was done being accurate for a little bit, idk, as a treat I guess. This was what I got just a few minutes ago, a reading of 365. Apparently it was actually like 204. 🙃
Slight difference, Dexcom...

Daughter was handed clothing last night & immediately lost it. We tore up the house & couldn't find it.
Tonight she opens a new perfume, immediately loses the cap.
Seconds later the clothing appears in the middle of the floor, magic.
What the fuck just happened...did we just conduct a trade?

I will not be claiming 2025 as my year.
I have never seen a year coming that I so clearly know is going to hurt me and all I can do about it is resolve to get back up, spitting blood.

Any Lego enthusiasts? My stepmom split up Lego advent calendars into the grandkids' personal advent calendars and I've identified one of them, but this one has me stumped. I cannot figure out what it is or what calendar it came from. Going mad over it!

Hogs have gotten into the apartment complex next to my office and busted through a section of the dividing fence. Amazing times ahead if how the hog problem has gone down in south Texas is any indication. Honestly I don't care, but I worry locals hunting them will be idiots about it because...duh

We have a new couch coming & apparently the delivery window begins at 8:30am, which seems like the worst time but I cannot wait. I've already started a betting pool on how long it takes my 6yr old to break the frame & if I win then the next one has a metal frame like I suggested.

Before and after turkey day chaos. Honestly, it wasn't too bad. No drama for once, and I owe that all to the lot of grandkids being chaotic goblins all day, keeping all the parents too busy chasing them down. I also got my annual one slice of pecan pie drowned in whipped cream. Yay!

Woke up today with a migraine, ahhh the tradition continues. It's truly not a holiday if I'm not sick, injured or have a migraine lol. My body hates holidays I guess. Rizatriptan to the rescue!

Well, it's not wrong. My friends are definitely who keep me going. (My kids too, but they also drive me over the edge...)

Our local news is taking a break from the daily semi accidents to make sure we're aware that the voyeurs are doing just fine, except at not getting caught by cops.

My daughter has caused massive confusion by stumbling across the fact that macaron, macaroni, macaroon, & Macron are all similar sounding words. She's just saying them all repeatedly & refusing to elaborate on which one she means, & the only one I can safely exclude here is Macron. I think.

My 6yr old son has gotten into the sudden habit of opening the car door while we're driving. If I don't remember to lock the doors right away after my teen gets out of the car, it'll suddenly be time to get on the highway and the back door is open. Why sir, whyyyyy

I feel disheartened Sarah McBride basically caved to the trans bathroom bill BS from Congress. Don't get me wrong, she doesn't owe the world her entire body and bravery, but I feel so bad because we all know this won't stop them. It'll embolden them.

Just realized the local anchor I follow on all other social media is on here, but not active, and I think that'll be a missing piece for me abandoning other places. A lot of us in town check that anchor's feeds for basically everything that goes down, from politics to traffic. -

Nights like tonight remind me of when I was in college & worked at a grocery store. Little old lady was in the line for my friend & I, asking us questions about our post college plans, etc. I said I wanted to be a teacher or a professor maybe. She pointed at my friend & said he looks like a -

Full grown adult having to email other full grown adults "telling" (documenting) on some grade A bullshit they said during my training today just so we stay in legal compliance was not on my bingo card. One day I'll learn that some people never mature. One day.
