I get that starting over would be scary but if its to a point where you could literally die because of these idiots its definitely time to leave. Is there perhaps a rival hotel close by that you could apply to switch to? I've worked at probably 7 other hotels prior to this one (anywhere from 1 day to 1.5 years at each) - while the job title stays the same, the people who you work for/with make things very different. When I started here, the staff was awesome. To go somewhere else would involve a large pay cut, which would put a huge strain on my marriage (the only thing my husband and I ever fought bickered over was money, and I have to say, things are much happier at home since we both got raises and have a little breathing room now), and I would also give up my set shift/off days, which are good for me because I thrive on routine. I'm too old to be doing things like working 2nd shift one night and having to come back 8 hours later to work 1st the next morning, which is something the newbies have to do quite often. Then there's the issue of having to give up my chair, which may not sound like a big deal, but considering one of my ankles is held together with metal, it just won't support my body weight if I stand for more than an hour or 2. I know these sound like excuses, but they are huge factors in what still keeps me here despite the place crashing and burning around me. I just can't risk blowing up my life, I finally have things the way I want them.

My husband asked for a Christmas list. What I want is foreign books. Rather than list the titles I need in German/Polish/Dutch, I just linked him to the sites and posted pictures of the books I need. I put WAY more books than I expect to get on the list, so he can pick and choose and there will still be some element of surprise.
My mom wants to get me lawn treatments to battle the weeds in my yard for Christmas, which is strange because last year I asked for window blinds, anywhere from 1-5 sets to cover all price ranges, and she got super upset because she wanted to get me "something for ME" and not "something for the house", but I don't see the difference in blinds and grass treatments?
Ignore my random ramblings. I'm just bored.

Sadly didn't get to say Hi to them today, because frankly I have been so busy today that I couldn't see straight. I only just now finished 'today's' to-do list ... and it's 1 AM so we're in to tomorrows list. Aaaaargh why did I have everything due the same week? I'm downing. @.@ Let me just have my night head start in school, please.

We finally had a day WITHOUT rain, so I raced to cut my grass before the rain comes back. First we had to jump the lawnmower, because the battery is dead and I refuse to buy a new one until spring. Then I managed to get the front and side yards cut before my tire practically fell off of the mower after only one pass on the backyard, so I ended up spending an hour and a half push mowing the back yard because I couldn't stand having only half the yard cut.
I need the leaves to finish falling off the trees and a good hard frost to come through and kill the grass, then I'll be good.

Leapkit Have you seen the new IKEA commercial? It features stuffed buff bears that remind me of the one you got at the mall that time On an unrelated note, who knew that to fix a tire that's come off track, you need to light your lawnmower on fire? Probably shouldn't have done it while the lawnmower was still in the barn, but hey, whatever works I guess.

My grandma is gone. I dont know what else to say about it at this point. Im... really not functioning very well. I am so so sorry to hear this. I know how much she meant to you. The cherry on top is. My mom continuing to not do anything to help whatsoever while trying to make funeral arrangements and I have no idea what im doing and im literally just so entirely alone. And I cant do anything right now, because I have a wedding to go to I need to be there for and try to not be a complete downer on their special day. And im trying to get it across to them that I can talk to them a little bit when I am able to but I cant keep going back and forth today with them and the funeral home, but, yknow, the body is kinda on a clock if we want it to look good for a viewing or not. And if they dont say something soon, well, I already said my goodbyes when she was still in the room before they came to take her to the mortuary, so at this point if no one but me gives a shit what happens i am just going to say fk it, bury her with my grandpa already and get it over with.

My grief is mostly weaponized anger at this point.
I mean, when we went to visit her on tuesday, we were gonna see her on halloween too cause the nursing home is doing some activities, so I asked if my mom was gonna show up and she burst into tears bc my mom hasn't seen her at all since shes been in that home which was 3 years ago so covid isn't even an excuse.
I just. I really hate my mom. She's an evil witch of a woman.

Was anything prearranged by your Grandma before she passed? If you are getting no help, maybe just burying her next to her husband is the best thing you can do, since a funeral is mostly just for the living and none of them seem to care.
That your mother lives in the same city as your grandma and hasn't been to see her in 3 years negates any rights she has to have input into this if you ask me. She didn't care while she was alive, so she shouldn't care now.

I completely understand. Please take care of yourself the best you can right now.
Unfortunately, I think this place is finally dying out, and I may just have to let it go.
