Stupid Tuesday

CharmedPam

For me anyway. I’m so freaking mad. My automatic garage door opener will sometimes open while I’m gone. Is it just an electric issue? Someone else’s opener working on mine? I have no idea. I’m never home when it happens. 
I went away for 3 days last weekend, so took it off the motor and made it manual because I didn’t want it to happen while I was away. It doesn’t happen a lot, but enough to make it an issue. We changed the code # in the past, and it still happens.
I went to get my lawnmower out today, and it’s jammed stuck. Oy. Someone is coming out to look at it this afternoon. Hopefully, it’s a lack of strength thing and that’s why I can’t open it. By the time he’s done, it’ll be muggy and 90 degrees out. I wanted to mow the lawn this morning when it was slightly cooler. It’s 77 now and getting really hot already.  My lawn can probably wait till Fridaybefore attending to it, but Friday is the limit. I won’t be in the mood for it this afternoon though, it’s super humid already. Maybe tomorrow after work if he can get it open. Sheesh.

I agree, stupid Tuesday.  I just lost it this morning.  Too many complicated things going on at the same time and I've just lost grace for it all.  I'm getting my bedroom organized tonight, come hell or high water, b/c I need my space to just be organized and stop walking around boxes or having to look for my things.  I'm down to less than 10 boxes, thank goodness.  I'm just still having to deal with where everything goes.

H has his graduation today. Thank goodness it is over. We had a pretty rough day yesterday and had a decent argument. I’m just really tired of having him feel like he is emotionally regulating but being totally unaware of how much he is spiraling. And I was really having an awful no spoons day yesterday. I woke up and actually cried it was so bad and I haven’t done that in a really really long time. 

Anyways, hopefully today goes smoothly. I already told H we have to readjust our weekend plans because I don’t think either of us have the capacity to go anywhere or do anything. I need a weekend of spud and I still can’t because the grad party is the following weekend so I have to work on the house intensely to prepare. Ugh. But he’s done with school thank goodness.

Less than 10 sounds do-able @VarunaTT.
you’re so highly highly stressed @levioosa, it doesn’t surprise me. Although I must admit, I never heard that term before so I had to look it up. She’s not crying over…. Real spoons is she?  But huge congrats to H! Hopefully this leads him on a path he wants and enjoys.  Maybe a veg weekend after the well deserved celebration.

boy, do I feel stupid.  Garage door guy comes and tries the door. Also sees that it’s stuck. He’s like “do you have the clicker?”

I got it.

It suddenly worked. I guess it DID go back on the track and went back to being motorized without me knowing. I didn’t even think of trying it with the remote.  He cleared the code so hopefully it cleared anyone else's signals. I’m not going to take it off its track when I leave next long weekend and hope for the best.  It was only an inexpensive service call so yay. But I still feel stupid for not trying it with the clicker first.

It's doable, it's just that these are the "I really need to figure out where this thing is going to live" type stuff, so it's more work than just 'this all goes in the kitchen" type things.  And a lot of my personal decor, which I don't think I want to put up until I paint.  Which I'll probably be doing soon.

Chiquita had an infusion today so we were gone for the morning.  It's the first week of Summer vacation and a week the kids don't have anything yet so they're around each other all the time.

I had to tell Chiquito that essentially he was being a hurtful asshat when he made fun of Chiquita and what she's not able to eat due to her autoimmune disease.  It's hard to navigate and negotiate with 11 year old boys who are jerks but I've made him understand in no uncertain terms that if I find him continuing to act like excrement then there will be major changes and repercussions.

Healing vibes Chiquita's way @banana468
Glad that the garage door is working again @CharmedPam
This is a huge transition @VarunaTT, but I totally get the urge to have it all done.
@levioosa congrats to your H and I hope that you guys can lie low this weekend

Thanks @ei34.  She's in a good space but neither she nor I have patience for asshat 10 year olds.
