I am very grateful that I have a partner with whom I can be open and communicate effectively. Yesterday I was in a shit mood in the morning and the incident with the salesperson compounded every other little thing making them into larger annoyances than they should have been. By the time awoke I was just a grumpy mess. And I told her just that. I was able to say hey, I need to vent for a minute, I am not looking for a solution just an ear, and here are the couple of things you did that are really not a big deal but are adding to my frustration. Once I explained what happened with work and the additional things, not only did I feel better but she apologized for not taking care of a couple of things and handled them. That is what a good "argument" should be like. But it's not always easy. You have to feel comfortable to speak exactly what's on your brain which not everyone wants to hear and sometimes you don't know how to say. And the salesperson never apologized for their bullshit btw. They decided to respond to me with the equivalent of "well be glad I am selling and making work for you!". Yeah, you can fuck right off buddy.
In other news, our friend here as made what I feel is a poor long term decision. She quit her job yesterday to take a part time job making less money. Huh? Yeah. She says it's because of her mental health which I totally get, but she also has no support system or real plan. She is leaving a full time job where she has insurance etc for a part time job where they say they will make her full time in 3 months and give her a raise. Yeah, we all know how shit like that goes. Plus the grass is always greener because that's where the dogs have been shitting. Remember that.
Planned out meals for the week, did some house cleaning. Made fish tacos for dinner. B is making chili today for the weekend. Have to head to the store shortly to get everything, hence my 4:30 wake up call.
Last weekend of vacation. Let's try to enjoy it.
