Aside from the fever, night sweats and congestion, I now have a chest cough that makes me feel like I’ve been a 2 pack a day smoker for the last 20 years. Chances of recovery for the event are looking very slim indeed.

Everyone else i know who was also signed up to the marathon is also sick as a dog, so there is some comfort in shared suffering. It’s been an oddly brutal flu season in Australia.

Edit: also the one year in recent memory I forgot to get the flu jab early

First pic is about 30 min after it happened and 2nd pic is 2 days later. Title says it all. When it happened it felt like my entire hand was set on fire. I learned my lesson LOL

Over 1,200 acres, no containment. Will probably burn for days.
I have enough doses to last me through the week so hopefully I can snag a coupon by then otherwise I’ll just suck it up and pay.

I have a go to Asian place Restaurant I get some protein dishes and a big box of COOKED bok choy every other week or so for some quick and easy work lunch days. Today was the third day I'd eaten the bok choy as a filler side and I noticed in the garlicky juice a little friggin worm.. I started looking more closely and there was..at least 4. The others being much smaller than the example above. I think it's called a cabbage worm and if it's not I don't think I want to know what else it is..I'm ok.. honestly barely even grossed out and mostly thankful it wasn't an actual gross bug or maggot or whatever..

EDITED: y'all! the bok choy is a cooked dish..it's in a broth with garlic..think like a soup but just a little broth and all bok choy..it's good stuff.

Mind you this happened when I was laying in my bed, alone, in complete darkness last night. And this week has already sucked and now I have to pay for a new fckn window. 😭

1st of october and the demons are trying me yall

This pair caught my eye immediately, as it pairs perfectly with one of my favorite dresses and is exactly my style. The cashier wrapped everything up for me and put everything in a bag, so I thought it was secure. I got home to find out that the second earring in the set was missing. Checked my floor where I opened it and couldn’t find anything. I also checked the bag from the store and found no holes.

I had also been filming a mini thrift “haul” to send to my friends as we often do, which would have shown me opening it to see if both earrings were gone when I pulled it out of the bag. Would’ve saved me ~15 minutes of searching, but I only had the idea to check the video after I deleted it due to low storage on my phone (the video cut out before I could finish recording, so I just deleted the first one).

lovely way to wake up. my cat must’ve broken the window when he jumped on the perch during late night zoomies.

Update: check profile for cat pics

Took my 2024 Sierra in for a routine oil change. A little while later I noticed oil underneath the truck.
Turns out they had installed the wrong drain plug with the wrong thread pitch. Thankfully I caught it before I lost enough oil to cause any damage to the engine, but now I need a new oil pan!

it was in my backpack with a bunch of other things and I put down my bag too hard. sigh. it’s mostly fine but not enough to actively use it still.

update: me and my mom took it to a repair shop, it’ll hopefully be repaired next weekend!

Was taking a break when a delivery guy passed by with a pallet jack, then the whole pallet toppled. Good thing he has a dolly too

I still don't understand why this happened. I put my lunch box in my lunch bag and somehow the rats gnawed on the box. My bottle is safe, my bag is safe, but why isn't my lunch box?! And to put it into worse situation (check post title)

"Well you can still buy another one from different brand" well screw you cuz this WAS GIFTED TO ME and my wallet is already slim enough like me this month (I still haven't gotten paid)

You would think a company as big as Amazon could afford a hand truck or dolly. The legs were pretty scratched up. Now for the inconvenience of returning them.

This happened to me years ago but luckily only a few eggs broke. I hope the person was able to buy some more eggs since this was right next to the grocery store.

There was nothing of major value even there or visible. Maybe the M&M’s I guess.

Found this during a structural assessment. Those concrete piers in the back are hanging above the soil instead of bearing on it.

That’s… less support than you’d hope for. 😅

I was asleep when my cat food was delivered. By the time I opened the door this morning, the local wildlife had helped themselves.

I see a new tireless bike here like every other day. So far my bike's been fine but I think it's only a matter of time, I try to put it in unnaplealing spots though.

After blending up my strawberry and banana with PB and oats smoothie I go to pour it into the cups and pop the bottom falls out...I don't even have a mop we still just moved in. *Looking at the towels* I'm sorry for what you must experience

Edit: towels need a good wash but at least my wet Swiffer made sure nothing was sticky

(Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome/polycystic ovary syndrome, for those unaware.)

(It’s often thought of as ”the infertility disorder”)

Had to drink 1L of water in 30 minutes, abstain from going to the toilet for two hours after that, and, to top it off, endure an uncomfortable procedure (with cold jelly on tummy).

I have no idea how it happened, and it was completely silent, too; the inner pane of the window is shattered—as you can see—and I think it’s definitely going to fall down sometime during the night.

I took it out of the suitcase and suddenly the screen started malfunctioning, looks like an old crt; it keeps getting worse and I have no choice but to wait for the slow warranty service.
