I wish but I'm settling for an air mattress in the office. He's squeamish about the whole prey diet I feed the cats and won't feed them. This, from a person whose bathroom is a hazardous waste site; this, from a person who is a pediatrician and sees gross things in babies diapers and dripping out of their every orifice; this person can't throw a quail down on the floor to feed a cat.
He blows his nose in the sink and doesn't rinse it; detritus from tooth flossing is stuck all over the mirror; hair hair everywhere; toilet -- I'd rather dig a hole in the backyard and am considering using the port-a-potty the reno crew will be using. I make him clean it before the housekeeper comes because it's inhumane to subject anyone to the grossness. His idea of clean is not mine so I clean after he does. The first time I went to his condo when we were dating, he had sentient algae growing on the walls of the bathroom. One shouldn't have to arm oneself with a flamethrower to enter the bathroom
First post on this thread but feeling stressed and need to let it out.
I'm in the final six weeks of obtaining my next advanced cert in my profession and am losing steam (it's a one-year master's level course). The work and focus required is demanding and while I love it I really need a break
We're building a house and pretty much all of the decisions are falling on me, both because I'm the one good at decorating and he's super busy with work. While I'm grateful for the ability to do what we're about to do, it's still stressful, especially since we need to nail down all major decisions in the first 30-60 days. I think I also hate when I do all the work, come to a decision, and then sometimes he doesn't quite agree so it's back to the drawing board. He's absolutely willing to pitch in, but his time is so limited that I feel guilty asking (and then reminding, because invariably he'll forget). And it's a MF'ing expensive house so I'm Scared To Death that I'll make a decision that I'm going to regret once I see it "live". I mean, choosing colors and patterns off of small sample sizes is HARD. I literally wake up with heart palpitations sometimes.
I'm finishing planning our wedding. It's around three months until we leave (destination wedding) and the little things are creeping up... music selections, info for the officiant, readings for the ceremony, choosing/ordering invitations, final small details, etc etc etc. Again, all on me. Have deposits been paid? How do we get our attire there? Do we have welcome bags? Is the day-after brunch set to go? What's the final menu? What time(s) are the FOUR legal appointments we need to attend? Oh, and we still need to write our vows. Uuuuuugh....
I'm running my business, taking on new clients, and even expanding in to some consulting work. I love what I do but feel like it's being slightly neglected because of the other commitments. No one is complaining; I'm just a perfectionist and don't feel like I'm at my best.
We've got a puppy who is now five months old and a ball of energy. Enough said. Oh, we're adding his Mom to our household too in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that will be a help with his energy but it will also be another dog to train/watch after.
Have I mentioned the daily migraines?
Sigh............
Its a bit icy today.
. I, of course, was up until 4:30 still thinking about things! Stupid brain 
It sucks when people say unkind things like this. I try hard to not say stupid things like this to others, as I've seen what words can do. I'm thankful we have a place here to vent and can find support when needed. 
) but it was talking about why people's resolutions fail. The article says that people have problems focusing, so the person who says they want to loose 10lbs AND save 10% fail at both because those are often their release valves (eating chocolates/going shopping). The person who focuses solely on saving the 10% can have other release valves and be successful because they are focusing on one thing. I saw this when I was going for my master's. I was FOCUSED on getting my degree (w/a 4.0) that most everything was set aside. Now, I did gain weight, and spent my fun $$ rather than saving, but I was successful. This stress with the bracelet has made me re-focus on what I really want.
People need to practice minding their own business. Sorry you are subjected to people like that.
You and @Matata are making me wonder why i didn't break my wrist sooner!
I bow before you, oh wise ones.
Its a bit icy today.

@junebug17 , thank you!
Its a bit tender but no big deal, so no complaints. Spent yesterday afternoon reading a Library book. About to go back to it; its one of three due a week from tomorrow. Since i can't take photos for a while, i'll be able to get through these three books no problem!
To make me feel better I finally printed out and made myself socks! 
But this time they are shorties, and they have actual heels and seem to fit better. I am very close to a 100% MEmade wardrobe. The only thing left: Bras 
I used to like sewing. I can't do it anymore because of my arthritis. I also loved handstitching and counted cross-stitch.
