People are starting to quit my work, the work load is starting to outweigh the benefits for alot of folks, kinda glad to know its not just a me problem. Definitely going to look into other jobs once im done paying some stuff off.

Still waiting 🫠 Usually silence after a final decision is good because it means they are finalizing stuff to send him his email for PR card details, but my mind is jumping to the worst. I just want him to stay for good, I can't do long distance again.

Like again my job has some of the best benifits and flexibility of ANY job I've ever had. But the way they organize the work load and client communication is awful. I need a job that I can just work in the background of things and still have benifits. Client facing is not for me anymore.

I feel like burnt out is a understatement for where my mind is at. I'm physically and mentally exhausted, migraines galore almost daily. My extra long May long weekend cannot come soon enough 🫠 At least Nyx has been keeping me sane through all this.

Told nyx canada has the new McDonald's refresher drinks (basically a dirty soda) and he ordered FOUR different types to try 🤣 Strawberry coke 👍 Sprite berry bliss 👍 Orange Dream 👍 We also got the mango pineapple refresher and it was ok, basically just juice with strawberry boba bubbles.

We are still madly refreshing today because its been changed to "final decision" but STILL no visible change besides that. STOP LEAVING US HANGING JUST TELL US IF IT IS GOOD NEWS OR NOT 😭😭

Me because we got bumped that there was a update/change in nyxs immigration stuff but I don't see a update on the website yet. PLEASE JUST TELL ME ITS APPROVED AND DONE 🥹 That would take so much weight off our shoulders to have him done being on a work permit and he can just stay for good.

I debated calling in sick today because the work burn out is hitting hard despite it being monday. My boss told me to book a long weekend to rest up when he came back last week, thinking I may just book extra days off for May long weekend and crash for a good 5 days straight.

Nyx and I started playing Split Fiction today and its SO FUN. We have to go have supper at my parents place, but we plan to continue as soon as we get back 🤣

I like using Saturdays as a me day. I would rather nyx be off work on the days I have off because we love spending our time together, but I also don't want to just rot at home until he's off work. Today's adventure, finding a place nearby with cans of compressed air and treating myself to lunch.

Its crazy to think that in the past you had to have a pretty top of the line phone to have anything decent, now im using a base line samsung I got on sale for 380$ and it runs amazing and the battery lasts forever. I think il just stick to budget phones 🤣🤣

Bunnies are some of the most dramatic pets. Freya was gassy this morning which means she didn't want food. Gave her gas drops before bringing nyx to work thinking it would take a few hours, got back and she ate most of her breakfast and is doing zoomies 🤣

Had a one on one call with my boss now that he is back and he congratulated me for everything I did while he was gone while also nitpicking whatever I didn't manage to get done (of course). But at least he told me if can book a long weekend without using vacation hours. Yay I guess

Why did they bedazzle my baby

Nyx went to our local Asian market after his exam yesterday and found these! Knew some brands had done collabs where they slapped the characters on the packaging, but I hadn't seen a company make the actual Ramen cups that match the movie. I kinda wanna keep them as is but I also want to try them 🤣

If house flippers could stop buying the affordable (150k-250k) houses, tearing them down and building shitty "luxury" 3 story houses with no yard (600k+ btw) I would greatly appreciate it. We definitely wouldn't win a bidding war.

My brain is so overloaded with work and Nyx's appointments that I completely forgot to defrost ground chicken for tacos later, now it won't be defrosted in time... I was looking forward to those 🥲

People love to cancel folks over the stupidest things these days its painful to watch, especially stuff that has been debunked or apologized/explained for previously. Are folks seriously that chronically online? This is a huge reason I left the bird app.

When the client you have been working with for soon to be the last two years (which is the most profitable client of the business) mentions you BY NAME to the CEO that they really love your work and what you have produced for them...

I kinda hate that US universal/Disney is so expensive. Nyx still wants to take me, we are probably just going to go to the Japan ones when we go out there, but there's stuff I would love to see at the US one. Curse you exchange rate and US park prices.

Boss is back tomorrow and im dreading it ngl. Stuff always goes to shit everytime he leaves and then he's like "oh did you get X thing done?" Like... no, no i definitely did not. At least the person who was supervising me while he was away will back me up that I worked my ASS off the last 2 months.

My squirrel girl in bloodhunt is VICIOUS and I LOVE IT. Legendary everything too 🤣

Even if its only 8c/46f I have a bunch of windows open to air out the house while I cleaned 🤣 house has been closed up all winter and was due to breath a bit. Temps are supposed to go up this week so hopefully what's left of spring will be nice before we put the AC in.

The only "stock market" i follow is checking what our collection is worth now 🤣 note prices are in CAD$, most of our cards were worth basically nothing when we pulled them.

If we do end up buying a place, I want to have enough space to do fostering. Mainly dogs and bunnies. Ive always wanted to foster pets but either I didn't have space to do so or I felt weird fostering in a rental.

Its almost weird how much has changed in my life since starting over. Financial stability, housing stability, stable job (even if it sucks sometimes), reconnected with so many folks, got married... overall found my spark for life again.

Nyx and I being white girls with our fancy Starbucks drinks after waiting an hour outside a walk in clinic, just to be told they don't do the testing he needs on Saturdays 🤣🥲 This is his drink he keeps screenshotted on his phone and its good AF, I am not a Starbucks gal so I just asked for the same.

Logged onto rivals for the first time in a while and it gave me enough points to do one pull for Deadpools maid cosmetic gatcha... and I got the whole bundle with one try 🤣 I haven't even tried Deadpool yet.

Like my boss is always like "oh you never take time off" How? How am I supposed to? Folks are either popping out kids, on client trips, or we are too swamped for me to even ask about it.

Cool, my boss planned a trip to go see the international clients the same week I usually take off in June. So fuck me I guess, I have 4 weeks of accumulated vacation time and can never place it for dates that are convenient and il have 6 total by end of year. Going to book our october trip off ASAP.

Our standing fan died right before winter started and we haven't gotten a chance to replace it. It got STUPID hot today for April out of nowhere and our fan we use in the office normally is giving us the ability to sleep 🤣 otherwise it would have been a hot, sleepless night and not in a fun way.

They brought endless shrimp back to red lobster and we still have a location here... Dear god... may need to starve myself for a few days and go get a absurd amount of shrimp

Buying a house may actually be a possibility for us a few years down the road now, but I feel like even if buying a house is a normal adult thing, I kinda like renting because if something breaks its not my problem financially 🫠 but I know my parents will push us to buy if we can.

I'm so glad the days are getting longer and longer. Almost 9pm and still daylight out, cures my seasonal depression LMAO

Actually having funds sitting in my bank account is such a strange but nice feeling. I was always paycheck to paycheck in my previous situation, basically counting pennies. Now I don't have to think about it as much unless its a big purchase. Its a weird feeling.

Went to check chewies mouth growth while giving him his bedtime snack, and its gone. I don't even see any damage to the gums were it was, just randomly fell out i guess?? We had already learned it wasn't dangerous but didn't think it would have just fallen out like that.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

Wait a minute, Tomodachi life is also on the switch 1?? Swore it was gonna be a switch 2 exclusive... I do get paid friday...

Loki wishes to show you his new hat for the summer months.

Treating myself to some Jollibee because ive only eaten here once since actually living in an area with Jollibee 🤣 was told their chicken tenders were good, I tried a chicken sandwich last time.

Pets are entertaining for the most dumb reasons sometimes. Was play wrestling with loki before getting out of bed, chewie ripped the most cartoonish longest fart ive ever heard in my life. Loki ran to the edge of the bed and was just confused AF and staring at chewies ass until it stopped.

Loki has been trying his best for Freya to accept letting him get close to her, but usually ends with her nipping him to get him to leave 🥲 at least he's trying to be nice.

Unpopular opinion (for whatever reason) rescues that take in pregnant animals and let them give birth instead of spay aborting are unethical. Your whole thing is to reduce the shelter population yet you actively contribute to it, knowing puppies/kittens etc are easy to market for donations/adoption.

I WAS gonna go out for a few things today, but then I saw it was still snowing and the roads are literally sheets of ice. Back to bed for me

It was honestly so nice today with only like 10 of us in the office. Nobody wandering to talk constantly, nobody took calls in the main office area, just chill quiet day. Wish the office was always that empty on Fridays 🤣🤣

Ice rain is always SO much fun. So many folks didn't show up to the office 🤣 at least its a nice quiet office day.

Glad we have a cozy couch because I got sick middle of the night and didnt want to risk crawling to bed so camped out on the couch. I definitely could have kept sleeping 🥲

Why can't I just stay cozy in bed all day AND get paid.

I hate knowing its gonna be cold the next two days because its GORGEOUS out today. We took a lil stroll to get supper and its the perfect temperature. But nooooo a last minute snow storm for the next two days and THEN we get the nice weather again.

I like how my grocery logic on Wednesday is "if cheese isn't on sale tomorrow, il do the groceries today. If cheese is on sale starting tomorrow, il do groceries tomorrow." ... we eat alot of cheese and only buy it on sale 🤣 so better off waiting one more day.
