First off, yes, B and I got over our argument. We both needed to cool down to understand what is was about the interaction that caused us both to go on the defensive so hard. We talked it through and figured it out. Things are better. But you want more juicy bits, so here's something for you all...
People shouldn't buy people gifts without asking them for a fucking list first. B's damn family did it again. Specifically her dad and stepmom. Last year they blew it with me, this year they just blew it. I know that's harsh to say and the ol' it's the thought bullshit, but nope. Their gift is now going to cost me time, annoyance, and aggravation. Why? Because for me they once more, bought fucking stupid slippers that don't fit and I don't like. But the kicker is their "big" gift to us? A fucking set of pots and pans. WTF? First off, do we look like kids who wouldn't be able to get our own? Second, oh gee, we DID buy ourselves a new set of professional grade, specific color, specific weight, size, and temper, 7x the cost of what you spent, pots and pans. They bought us some Walmart (seriously) Pioneer Woman bullshit pots and pans. Hey look, if that's your thing, great. But to buy someone like me who is really fucking picky about things something like without discussion? Fail. So now we have to return them and get the money back. Good times. Next year I am giving them a choice - here's a list or give us cash or don't give us anything. This is not a discussion. Waste my time. Ugh. Humans.
Bought a new heater for my office yesterday. I love the one my client sent me last year, but it also dries me out and gets annoying quick. It's forced air, so it heats the room really nice, but I can't take the air blowing on me. I got a radiator style. Downside is takes longer to heat the room, upside is it heats the room. Versus just blowing air in one spot. Got it on sale at Lowe's last night. Yes, I left the house. Scary AF to be honest. Then we went to B's dad's where we loaded up the dumb gifts (seriously people, if you don't want to buy something from a list, don't buy me anything. We will both be happier). Then we stopped at B's friend's place as he had a gift for "us". Really he had a gift for B, and he acknowledged that it was mostly for her, but I'm okay with it. I know he has limited funds and wanted to do the best he could. See? No complaints there because I would rather it be that way.
Speaking of funds, who's excited for their $600 slap in the face? Woo! I don't expect to get one this time based on the new rules, but just in general what a load of shit. Plus did you see how in the COVID bill is a 10 year prison sentence for pirating? For real. Go read it. Fuck this government. What a bunch of out of touch, old white people who need to die off. Then the orange one has said it will be "a reign of terror" for the next 30 days. Wow. Yet, I am still surrounded by people who support him. What is wrong with all of you? Begone you vile creatures. Not even human. Creatures.
3 million total dead in 2020. 320,000 from COVID. A reign of terror for 30 days. Ah, and I think to myself, what a wonderful world...
