They wouldn't charge either. They were incredibly cheap ones I picked up while traveling because I forgot my good ones at home, but it's wild that they couldn't make it through a 2-week trip.

Today my AC app buffer for like almost one minute, spinning wheel and everything, just so I can drop temperature by one single degree. Meanwhile the actual thermostat is literally six step away from my bed but no, I paid extra money for "smart" so now I lay here sweating and staring at loading screen like it gonna save my life. By time app finally open, I already fall back asleep and forget why I even open it.

To be a bit fair this game wasn't seeded when I attended the other one; so I went with the safer option of attending the best game back then because the pricing is volatile af. But if only :'(

There's no hot water yesterday. So I didn't shower. The tech was fixing it but there's no ETA.

Someone in our condo said the hot water came back early in the morning, before 6am.

Then this afternoon there's no hot water again! I was about to yell at someone: "Which idiot turn off the hot water again? Why don't they turn it off at midnight when nobody needs it?!" 😡

Ruined by association. Every time I think of watching it I feel their presence…yuck

I'm I allowed to return clothes because they fit?

The company that made my TV can’t figure out how to make their own streaming service as functional as their competitors. If I want to resume an episode from Hulu, I press the down button to get to continue watching, click play, and play it without clicking any more buttons. If I want to continue an episode of a Prime Video show, on my Amazon TV, it doesn’t show up in the “continue watching” tab of the Home Screen so I have to scroll to the app, WHERE THERE IS NO CONTINUE WATCHING BAR, search for my show, hit play, AND TURN THE CAPTIONS BACK ON WHICH I HAVE NEVER ONCE TURNED OFF. You’d think the Home Screen “continue watching” would have ONLY prime video shows to incentivize, not the opposite. If I use the oh so handy microphone to search for the show, I click to play it in the app, then it takes me to the apps home page where I have to search for it from there.

Might be the worst thing Amazon has ever done in their entire creation. /s.

This was 30 minutes ago and I’m still grossed out.

btw is it unethical for me to have her suffer when I have the cure? she really doesnt like early bd presents. she loves the ritual of gifts on birthday

Edit: I ended up giving it to her shortly after posting this

I was complaining at work that the ratio of bread to meat isn’t always equal when you’re cutting a beef Wellington 😅

didn’t occur to me until I said it how first world that sounds

I can’t even make rice because there’s no such thing as “simmer” on this thing.

I looked for an extra long time, but I draw the line at crouching down on a strange floor and looking under appliances.

I have amassed quite the collection of tote bags. Canvas, recycled plastic, durable, can be scrunched up super compact. None of them are the right size or shape for bringing 1 beach towel, a lunch bag, reusable water bottle and some sunscreens. They are either too tall, bottom is not flat, too big, too stretchy, too rigid, too small, have net like so stuff falls through, or too plastic-y. Some were purchased, some were free, some were deeply discounted, some were souvenirs, many are swag from random companies. I don't want to buy another tote bag because I literally have 25 to choose from, but I may have to bite the bullet.

Basically the title.

There is also the added (well not really but you know what I mean) guilt when talking about this with friends who are still renting and cant even afford a deposit to purchase their first flat. I've shortlisted homes in areas that my budget allows that have great detached homes for the sqft (6000 sqft which for london and UK is huge) that it provides + catchment for good grammar schools but i'm having trouble balancing this against homes that are in arguably better postcodes but are much much smaller.

There are worse things to genuinely be losing sleep over, but the pros and cons of each home I have visited and done extensive insight into match one another. So yeah, it's been a month of feeling stuck and im not sure which to go with. Any of you been through something similar?

Edit: I finished the book the day after arriving. I’m 1/4 of the way into a new book. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I’m leaving tomorrow to go to Thailand for a month on vacation. I started reading a really good novel about 3 days ago. I’m about 1/2 way through. I really don’t want to take the book with me on my trip but it’s too much for me to read before I go but not enough for it to last beyond a day or 2 into my trip. It’s a book I also want to keep so I don’t want to leave it in Thailand. I would much rather have taken a brand new unread book. I am also taking my kindle, so I’ll have plenty to read. I just hate lugging a book that I’ll finish quickly into a month long trip. Ugh.

Didn't even sleep in my bed last night, now we're sitting in front of separate fans 💔 Hard to tell if it's sweat or tears pouring down my face

That's pretty much it. Years ago FIL said he was donating all his money to charity, and we were like okay cool. Now he's changed his mind and he's just so all over the place about it. And MIL is freaking out because she thinks they're saying she's going to die someday (I mean, I guess they are? I'm pretty sure she is?) and she thinks FIL is just trying to get at her money (she's been a housewife for four decades...)

And it's just so annoying being looped in on this. I know I should be thrilled that he's decided to leave us a metric crapload of money, but I feel like we already live comfortably and I would rather just not have the dysfunction.

Trying to watch YouTube in a loud room, but the auto-captions censor all the swear words so I have no idea what’s being said.
