How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Work was stressful, they sent us a notice on the last 15 minutes of our shift on a Friday that we have to come to the head office everyday this month (we all work from home). My knee hurts badly, the commute is hellish and everything is a mess. Oh, and it is the height of the summer here and the heat makes me dizzy easily because God nerfed me.
 
If it makes you feel better, search engines seem perfectly designed to give you worse case scenario results when looking up symptoms of something that might not even be that serious. I know I've had a couple scares over something that turned out not to be as bad as I thought it would be. That's what speaking to an actual doctor/vet is for.

I pray your cat will be okay though.
Turns out it  was her kidneys, and they were almost ready to put her down but she made a miraculous recovery. I don't know if we're completley out if the woods yet but she does seem to be at least 90% back to her old self now
 
Slighty mad today since I found out that one of my packages for a Mark Twain book may have been lost in transit, and then I found out a Ice Cube CD that I ordered was delayed for next week Monday.

Now I’m worried about my Kurt Vonnegut books that are supposed to come in on Friday. Either way, my mail carriers are slipping.
 
Had one of those frame-worthy short exchanges with (narcissist parent). Just a bite-sized microcosm of everything fascinating about them. I said something about an awkward academic attempt to make "interesting alternatives" to "how are you doing?" as a conversation opener, and got back "I usually reply with 'better than I deserve'. It stuns the self-absorbed and gives hope to believers!"

*chef's kiss* I couldn't have asked for more. The dig at everyone around you as a greeting. The wombo-combo of "humility" followed by smug piety. The gorgeously un-self-aware declaration that everyone *else* is self-absorbed, but you give light to the people not quite as faithful as you. Anyone who says religion humbles you has never come face to face with a true Lovecraftian ego. Lemme tell you, religion propels someone like that to new heights of smelling their own farts.
 
Went off on my Mom while texting, little dispute about something I did at work, and now I am dreading how I'm going to face up to it. I just want to be home.


I just feel like my life is collapsing around me and it's my own fault. I came up with this loophole, I realized that I don't technically have to pass any of my classes as long as I just do the bare minimum of my job and fulfill a few other obligations. The obvious downside of this ballsy strategy is if my overlords say "no, just because it confirms to the official regulations that doesn't mean you can just bugger off and stop showing up, you're out of here." But I feel like I'm completely shot and can't take any more of class, even if it's a tiny bit of work compared to what I used to do, and my resentment is so high, I need out of here but I don't have any kind of job set up. I had struggled with my feelings here for like a year and a half, and I didn't even like it before then, but since Winter ended the spirit in me has just been snuffed out like a candle, the simple act of walking across that campus feels like I'm weighed down with chains and the things I used to do don't interest me.

Sometimes you think about what the point of it all is if we are to live under a 1000 years of darkness. Is it all going to be misery and huddling in your house hoping you are not going to be next? If we live in a world where you can be arrested for visiting the farms then what is the response, to live in fear for the rest of your life or just to say fuck it and live free till the very end?
 
There was a serious breach of trust today.

I'm very pissed off about it, and considering drastic measures, but I'll have to act like everything is ok until the appropriate opportunity to discuss the situation presents itself, which may not be for some days yet.
 
Got accepted into ANOTHER Thing that I forgot I had even applied too. I feel like an idiot for complaining about my line of work (although really it's mostly social issues devilling me) whenever I get the opportunity to be paid hundreds of dollars to take a vacation.
 
I just pulled off one hell of a gambit and I'm looking to finalize it. My old man has been bugging me for a favor and it's time to cash in on that. I'm also worried about my grandma. I never wanted to take care of her (my uncle is better suited and I like having a house to myself) and she's been pissing me and my mom off but she's starting to do some fuddy duddy shit. It doesn't help that she keeps vaxxing even when (or maybe because) I keep telling her it's stupid.
