Witty's funtime house

[JMG]

She just likes to complain a lot when she's been drinking. She tends to say whatever is on her mind. She was talking about how I didn't put up lights on the top part of the tree yet, but she could have done that already. I usually just do all the laundry at one time because she doesn't like to do many chores. I mean she will do them sometimes, but I think she generally expects that I will take care of them.

Lol yeah, that could work too. Although there are these pizza burgers you can buy in the store, which are patties that have cheese inside of them. They can be pretty good, and I might get them if I can because I haven't had them in a while. Sure we can switch, I don't want to be Orange Chocolate anymore. :P Thank you for saying that, it means a lot to me. I'm trying to forget what made me upset, because it's their loss really. I can understand if I did something wrong, but I didn't. Even if I did, they should talk things out instead of doing that.

Aw well sorry to hear that, that sucks. I hope she’ll stop doing that soon. Omg about complaining about the lights on top of the tree thing though, ya instead of complaining I’d just do it myself for sure. Oh wow about her not doing many chores and expecting you to do them all, that is definitely not nice or right at all. If it was me I’d probably make a list with the chores divided up and say “this is what I need for us to do from now on please” or something like that. I hope she’ll help with them more soon.

Cool about those pizza burger patties in the store, I can already tell that sounds way too cool and fun to be the kind of thing we’d have here, but glad you have it there anyway, it sounds really great. Lol ok yay about the switching drag names thing, ya I like yours a lot more “orange chocolate” or not (never been a fan of actual “orange chocolate” but as a name it’s fun! lol) :p

You’re welcome for what I said, I’m delighted that it helped in some way and means a lot to you Glad you’re trying to forget what made you upset, and agreed that they should try to talk things out on the off chance you actually did something that made them feel upset or whatever. Sounds like it’s more likely they just have issues and are mean to hide insecurity or who knows (endless theories to pick from on that probably lol)

My birthday is exactly 90 days from now. I shouldn't have had to look that up though, since today is the 15th and it would have been easy to figure out. It's also going to be on Saturday, my favorite day of the week. But even if it was on a Monday, I would still find ways to celebrate it. And it's also a milestone birthday, which is why Godzilla can't stop dancing.

Cool, happy 9 month almost bday! Lmao :p That’s cool about it being exactly 3 months from today, ya I kinda felt indifferent about that milestone one (nothing like my 30th, for sure!) and even a bit “proud” to have made it to that age too That’s great that Saturday is your fave day of the week too, for me it’s probably Friday, but Saturday is definitely a close second. Yup exactly that regardless of the day it falls on, it will be celebrated just the same, that’s awesome

@JMG your birthday is also on a Saturday next year
And Mr. B told me what day in September he was born on...but honestly I'd need to check emails to remember at this point. It might be the 14th?

Oh wow, neat that both our bdays fall on the same day of the week next year, very interesting! Lol aw I’d just post that MrB bday info here, but something tells me that wouldn’t be appreciated (by him I mean, lol). I’m sure he will come along in here and maybe say it himself (or perhaps in a PM as a friendly reminder)

These are sayings from some pens that I had. They ran out of ink, but I wrote down the lists anyway because I like them.

Unicorn to do List:
Fart glitter
Grant wishes
Eat a sparkle sundae
Play with fairies
Believe in magic
Slide on a rainbow

Mermaid to do List:
Wish upon a starfish
Ride a seahorse
Take a shelfie
Dive for treasure
Dance with a dolphin
Make waves

Awesome, love them all lol! I want some of those adorable pens now, did a search trying to find where they might’ve been from and didn’t find anything, guess that means they were either discontinued, or perhaps more likely, one of the many exclusive “US only” things lol. Sounds fun and cool anyway though

 

[JMG]

Sorry to hear about that crummy day too Witty, that sucks and I know it can be a drag to have to deal with a lot of upsetting kinds of things like that (I sometimes think of those as “stormy days” in my mind) but usually if I have such a crummy day like that, the next day gives me a break from that stuff (thankfully!) and then it feels like that is “the sun coming out again after the storm” and where there’s a rainbow too, ya my mind comes up with all kinds of stuff in it’s endless pursuit of “explaining” why things all happen as they do :p Hope it gets better soon though and that the sun shines again for you

Well she put some lights on the tree so that's good at least. She usually says she's too sick or whatever to do things but she is drinking every night. And if she's healthy enough to do that, she should be able to do more around here. But I'm kind of defeated in some ways and I just do it anyway. Plus it probably wouldn't get done if I didn't do it. It's like when I was gone for a week and she didn't take the garbage out or seem to do much else in that time.

You can always make pizza burgers from scratch too. My aunt did that and she put tomatoes and cheese and other things in them and they were pretty good. I just think if people hurt me, they aren't worth my time or energy. If they don't care about me then I shouldn't waste time caring about them. Friday is another favorite day of mine, I don't know why but I always liked the weekend more. Maybe because it was when I had time off school, and Saturday was the one day I had off work, but days just blend together now. I'm proud that we both have made it this far too, now let's try to reach 100. :P

I'd have to look through emails he sent to me because my short term memory just sucks lol. But yeah I don't want to post anything without permission. I got the pens in Dollar Tree but I don't know if they still have them or not. If they do then I can get you some.

Thank you, I hope it does too. I don't often get to the point where I'm yelling at anyone but sometimes people enjoy pushing me beyond my limits. Then I cry and after that, just go kind of silent. My mom never seems to support me, she's complaining about me again and she's saying I should give my nephew a break because he's a kid with issues and we're adults. Ok, but he sprayed Raid on us, ran into me with a bike repeatedly, left bruises on me by hitting me and throwing things at me, and that's just the half of it. Then my sister said we should discipline him but he doesn't take any of that seriously. Like I said I would hold him down so he didn't do anything and he said I should see what happens if I try that. And yes, he's like this often...when he's not on meds at least. It seems like people don't really care about how he is turning out, aside from me anyway.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

It's bad too because I don't hate him at all, I mean I don't hate people in general, but I love him of course. But at the same time, most of the time I can't stand being around him when he acts like that. And I'm worried it will just get worse as he gets older. I don't talk about all this with people much at all but it's overwhelming.

Glad she put some lights on the tree too at least, and of course I agree that’s good. Ok about saying she’s too sick to do things, but wow, that’s still very unfair to you. I’m so grateful my mom isn’t like that. I’m always stuck taking down the garbage and recycling though cos she doesn’t want to have to use the key for the locks on the bins. That has always deeply annoyed me, but she is VERY stubborn about that one, so it always ends up being me and I really hate that a lot. She does other stuff around here though so I guess overall it’s pretty fair at least. Aw well I’m sorry you’re defeated about it though and that it probably wouldn’t get done if you didn’t do it. That’s good of you to care enough and wanting to “get it done” so it’s done though, not everyone would be like that about it. But ya the result would be living in an unclean and possibly unsafe place so that definitely would not be good at all.

Pizza burgers from scratch sound good, I should try that sometime. That’s cool that your aunt used to make them with tomatoes, cheese and other things, ya those sound like they were yummy. Agreed on if people hurt you then they aren’t worth your time or energy. For the most part I do my best to stay loyal to that value, it is much harder when it’s family though, especially close family and where the overall history is pretty “good” for the most part. It’s very painful when that changed for sure. Cool about liking Friday too, and ya the weekend is good too. Oh wow about that being the “only” day off you had when you worked, that’s definitely not right. People need at least 2 days off in a row to have at least a “barely acceptable” amount of time off from the hell of working, especially “full time” working, but either one really. Lol me too with being proud of us making it to this age, and lol hmm 100, well assuming in the next 10-20 years that I could perhaps be where I at least had no more “financial worries or stress” then yes, perhaps that’s something I would want, but 60 more years of stress and worry, especially about that? Nah, think I’d pass on even “wanting” it overall, lol :p

Ok about the MrB bday thing, and glad you agree about not wanting to post anything without permission. Ya I think that’s the nicer way to be in general, and also I try to live by the motto “better safe than sorry” too of course, lol Cool about those pens being from Dollar Tree, there’s one of them beside Walmart so when I’m near there again on the 23rd then I’ll check it out and see if I see those cute pens there lol :p Aw that’s so sweet of you to offer to get me some, if I’m able to find them here then it’s ok, I’m sure they probably weren’t more than a dollar or 2 lol. I’d send you something back that was an equal or higher value too of course (First that bloody postal strike needs to end of course, yup, still going, hope it will end in the next week at least…)

 

[JMG]

You’re welcome for the words of comfort though, of course, glad to be able to help in some way (even a small way) whenever I possibly can Wow, ya those definitely are not nice things your nephew was doing at all That’s terrible really, and worse that discipline doesn’t seem to work. Hopefully he can stay on his meds and never “not” be on them cos it sounds like he needs them.

Aw no I know you don’t hate him and that you love him, it’s so kind of you to care so much about him like that. I hope his strong influences (ie mom and dad) will be able to provide a good example and also lots of love and caring for him to help him turn out better and less prone to doing those kinds of destructive things.

I understand about feeling worried it will worsen with age, hopefully that will not be the case though. I also understand feeling overwhelmed about it too of course, I would as well if I had a nephew who was like that to me sometimes. I’d hope that trying to have a talk with him about it, and how upsetting and worrisome it was for me, might help him be more mindful of his actions, but ya it can be very difficult to say that to a kid who isn’t actually “your” kid.

Those kinds of lessons/discipline generally are most effective when coming directly from parents I think. Might still be worth a “try” though, it sounds like he does care a lot about you and especially with those nice things he’s said to you before. Didn’t you say he said you were his fave person, or the “kindest” person he knew or some other really sweet, nice compliment like that before? So ya, perhaps he’d be receptive if you tried to help him be aware of how his actions affect you.

Yeah I mean...she can do a round trip of walking like a couple of miles, but then she says she can't do anything around here, so it just seems like an excuse. But we can't really let anything go for too long because the landlord already seems to find fault with everything we do. She likes to pick on certain people, even though she shouldn't, but there's not much that can be done about it. Plus I help clean another place and that's worse off but...I do what I can anyway. It can be a lot sometimes but I just cope the best way I can.

It's hard for me to give up on family too, even if they do act toxic at times. Well I was working part time, it was 30 hours per week or something or maybe more depending if I wanted to work more, but never full time. And I chose to work the 6 day week because I was the only one working for a while until my mom got hired somewhere and I had to pay for pretty much everything. Now I have too much time on my hands, so it would be nice to have a job that's not too stressful.

It would be nice to live a long time if you didn't have a lot of stress or anything, so I agree with you there. Thank you for offering to send things back, I appreciate that too. I would have sent you a Christmas card and other things but they need to stop the strike at some point. :P My sister doesn't live with my nephew but she still takes care of him pretty well. She was thinking about withholding his Christmas gifts because of how he was acting, but I'm not sure if that would help. He doesn't really misbehave around my sister's fiance because he seems to know how to handle him, and maybe he is more receptive to listening to men in general. He used to think nice things about me but I'm not sure if he does anymore, but I tend to feel that way with a lot of people.

Hmm, ya I understand why you’d suspect it might even just be more of an “excuse” than a valid reason for her not doing much to help with keeping up on house chores. That really does suck about that landlord being like that too, sounds quite stressful for sure, sorry you have to deal with that too on top of all the other crap, damn, you definitely are very strong and I admire that a lot It sounds like you do more than enough for sure, and I’m glad you cope with it all as best you can, that’s all anyone can do really

Oh ok, I think you might have told me about working pt before but I guess I maybe forgot so sorry about that. 30 hours a week sounds pretty good though, and ok I didn’t realize you did the 6 day thing by choice, that was really good of you to do that though. Agreed on it being nice to be able to find a job that’s not stressful (or at least, not “high stress” and pressure anyway, lol).

Yup for sure with it being nice to live a long time as long as it wasn’t too “stressful” of a life. Aw you’re so welcome about offering to send some things back too, of course! I’m always glad to give gifts to the few friends I have lol, it feels good to show them how much they mean to me and things like that Same with the Xmas card and sending other things too, dumb postal strike has messed that up a bit, but if it ends in the next week then I should still be able to do that (might get to you a bit “late” though).

That’s good your sis takes good care of your nephew despite not living with him. Ya I dunno if withholding the Xmas gifts would work or not, he’d be likely to never “forget” that, but whether he’d “learn” from it or not is another matter of course. Ya kids do often seem to respond “more” when a man tells them not to do something, that’s good her fiance is good at dealing with him though.

Aw, I’m sure your nephew still thinks nice things about you, maybe he is just going through a hard time right now with something. If it’s possible to maybe even ask him “what’s going on” that might perhaps make him open up about whatever it is. I’m sorry you feel that way with a lot of people, I understand though cos I can sometimes feel that way too. I hope it will get better soon, always wishing the best of everything for you of course

Well she did some chores today but then she was out of breath. She doesn't take care of her health problems and she keeps drinking, so I know it's contributing to that. Thank you, I don't feel that strong though and usually feel like giving up when things get too tough. Oh, you can send me a birthday card if you want. The postal strike might actually end by then but who knows.

I wish there was a way to get through to him, but I'm starting to worry that there isn't. I don't know if he's in therapy again, I know he got suspended for a while because of his behavior. Maybe part of it is because he's getting close to going through puberty, but he's been like this for a while anyway. I know that some people value me and have my best interests in mind, like you and Mr. B, but I wish other people cared more, especially family members.

As if things aren't annoying enough, now the shower head is cracked and it was flooding the entire bathroom. Luckily we were able to make sure it didn't soak through the floor so that the people downstairs would be dealing with it. We need to fix it soon and hope it will solve the problem.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

And then my nephew tried to barricade me in the basement. He kept dropping the phone on the stairs so I sort of pushed it with my foot, thinking he would need to go past me and get it, then I could get out. And the screen cracked, which wasn't my intention. Then he was raging on me and said I broke it and...oh, I guess he's getting a new phone. So how can he learn anything when bad behavior keeps getting rewarded?

As if things aren't annoying enough, now the shower head is cracked and it was flooding the entire bathroom. Luckily we were able to make sure it didn't soak through the floor so that the people downstairs would be dealing with it. We need to fix it soon and hope it will solve the problem.

Glad your mom did some chores yesterday, sorry to hear the lack of care/attention to her own health causes her to be out of breath from that kind of thing though. You’re welcome, and aw I understand about not “feeling” strong cos it’s like that for me sometimes too. I hope you’ll start to feel more strong soon though. Lol sure, I’d love to send you a bday card, ya I am hoping that strike ends before the end of this week, but who knows. Need to be checking for updates about it every day now though I think. It’s getting a bit nuts imo, I mean this is the busiest time of year for them, so a LOT of $ that they could be making is just being lost, doesn’t seem like a good plan at all imo, you’d think they’d be able to come to SOME kind of bloody agreement about it already lol.

Anyway, aw I’m really sorry again about your nephew situation though, that definitely does sound challenging and upsetting. I wish there was something I could do or say to make it better. Ya that is a good theory about nearing the age of puberty, perhaps that has a lot to do with it. I understand about wishing more family members had your best interests in mind, and I hope that they will realize that soon.

Oh no about the shower head cracking too, damn! Heck of a thing to happen at this time of year, but I guess there’s really no “good” time for such a thing to happen of course. Glad you managed to contain it somehow so it didn’t leak below though, that’s good. I hope it will be fixed soon too.

And then my nephew tried to barricade me in the basement. He kept dropping the phone on the stairs so I sort of pushed it with my foot, thinking he would need to go past me and get it, then I could get out. And the screen cracked, which wasn't my intention. Then he was raging on me and said I broke it and...oh, I guess he's getting a new phone. So how can he learn anything when bad behavior keeps getting rewarded?

Oh wow, that’s not nice at all that he tried to do that to you! Sorry to hear he did that, and also about the phone thing too. He definitely shouldn’t have gotten mad at you or blamed you for that, like it was an accident first of all, and if anything the universe was probably trying to step in and help clue him in that he wasn’t acting nicely at all.

Wow about him just getting a new phone now, ya that definitely doesn’t seem right and there needs to be a bit of punishment for that behavior and not being rewarded like you said. Hope that situation will get better soon, and hopefully where he isn’t forced to learn the hard way.

The more time that passes and I watch these awards shows every year, I have no idea who any of these people are. Am I just getting old or what?

Yeah, we need to get a wrench or borrow one and luckily I still have the original shower head, but I kind of want to get a new one so we can be sure that it won't happen again. Maybe I can send you a birthday card too, in case the strike is finally done by then. :P It helps when you talk to me, and there's not much that can be done for him outside of professional help. I think he's getting the wrong ideas and that however he acts, he'll still get what he wants. That's not something I would do but hopefully he will start to act better at some point.
