Thank you Mike. I will look into the portable
the good thing with a portable is you can move it a little in another direction. mine is a 3 way. it cools, and fan, but also has a dehumidifier option on it. good for humid days lol. mine is good at 7800 btu for a good size 2 bedroom apartment. i hope whichever you choose you can start to cool down soon

Business is business. Nothing personal in either direction. It’s really a game. Would you show your cards to your opponent in poker? The same applies between management and employees.
So, if employers are not honest with me, then I shouldn't be either? That's if we're talking about a specific case.

But if we're talking about the big picture. If the entire system of exploiting people (slavery, essentially) is dishonest, then I shouldn't be either? I have a lot of thoughts on this right now, but I don't want to write too much.

I hope your move to your new place went well!

A bit shit to be honest. Work has been stressful on top my health concerns and general fatigue. I got told off for doing something today, went through a load of fretting, explained why I'd done what I did - and after all that was told to continue doing exactly as I had been doing. Complete comms breakdown, also people emailing to request meetings then ghosting me when I reply with options. And it's too warm and I'm just knackered.

Did you manage to get your Thursday night pizza?
 
It's been years since I saw my aunt when she was still on her own in her house. She lost so much weight I almost didn't recognize her. Her feet used to be so swollen, she has diabetes. They look great now! I'm thankful her daughter and son are taking good care of her. Of course, she misses her independence.

I only brought grapes because she likes them. Her daughter (my cousin) was worried I'd judge, I'm not judging. She said she makes people feel sorry for her that she doesn't get her sweets. I kind of chuckled when she showed me while my Aunt was in the bathroom an empty wrapper. They were the exact diabetic friendly chocolates that I bought and ate the whole thing too. Hey she's in her 85th year, I told her I'd have done the same thing, I don't think she heard me. If you cant enjoy some sweets sometimes I'd be finding those same chocolates and eating them too. I know they are doing an excellent job of taking care of her, her feet are no longer swollen, she has a comfortable chair to watch out the window, and she still goes for walks. It was so nice to see her.

I did need my pain med. It hurts to sit for hours. I really hope soon my doctor would listen to me. I only get 2 5/325 oxycodone a day for 5 years. I use robaxacet but I'm not supposed to because of high blood pressure. It was still good and I can hide my pain, it does no good to complain. It's a rainy cooler day but I was so happy to see her doing well.
 
I just need to vent I'm seperated from my wife 3.5 months now and it has gotten a bit better but it's so so hard. I feel like I'll never get over this. And the ambivalence wondering if I have made the right decision but i think in my gut it's what needs to happen.

I feel so alone she was my best friend but it was too chaotic and I'm a weird non talkative sensitive person it will be hard to find someone again. While i have a couple good friends I've always felt like an outsider almost everywhere i go and i miss having a deep connection with someone. That damn ambivalence again. Feels like I'll be wondering forever. I need to get over this somehow. Exercise has helped to get out of the house it's so depressing being alone here. It's so hard to get my responsibilities done.
 
I just want her back so badly but everytime it seems like the same cycle happens. Should we have tried therapy more? And she's already gotten a driver's license in her home country again and cancelled the cell phone plan from this country. It feels too late to try another failed attempt anyways. I'll just live with this wonder forever i guess.

Tired and pissed off. Could barely sleep with the heat (it's going to be 29C today - nothing compared to some places but I am British and not one of the British who loves going to Spain as I would likely die on the Costa del Sol within minutes!). At 7am some infernal truck parked outside my window and started jiggling a pair of cherry pickers about and clanking chains. A couple of guys all over it. I have no idea what they were doing, they finished up and it drove off again. Noise was so loud it cut through my white noise which is on VERY loud. Universe seems to be in fuck with me to keep me on edge mode lately, well for most of the last 12 months actually, if not the last 5 years 🤷‍♂️
 
@AvidFan
Fuck sake, sounds mental. What with the twitting bird, bad hip and fatigue. Need to borrow a large hungry cat for your bird problem and maybe a big sign outside telling people to 'keep the bloody noise down til after 9am!'.
My office here is very hot, as it faces into the morning sun, im not a fan of the heat either.
Hope the rest of your day is a bit better.

Im sorry everything is like this for you at the moment. I hope things settle for you soon.
