I've been worried all day/ weekend that somehow my chopped up license wasn't chopped up enough and the cop won't return my calls to discuss it with me.
And FI keeps assuring me there's nothing anyone can do with a chopped up license and that the store manager told him it was it really small pieces. My paranoia is getting the best of me.
And also, I fucking hate the store that chopped it up because they had no grounds to do it.
@emmaaa Yes. YES YES YES. I have been in a mucinex fog all day so I already feel like I've been drinking...but I desperately need to do dishes (and laundry) and therefore also need wine even though I PROBABLY shouldn't mix mucinex and wine.
Edit: Crap on a cracker I hit "reply" instead of "quote"....I suck at life.
Ugh I've never tried mucinex but if I haven't taken any allergy stuff in a few days and then I take a zyrtec or a benadryl... I feel drunk IMMEDIATELY.
We went to Men's Wearhouse to find suits for FI and his dad. FI tried one and it looked nice, then we found out it was $650. When we said that was too much, they were incredibly rude to us and generally acted like we just fell off the turnip truck, saying stuff like that's an average cost for a suit these days, with inflation, blahblahblah. Seriously. And that it would cost $900 at Macy's. We asked about renting and he said "Nobody rents suits!" to which I said, "Saavi does". That shut him right up.
Well we went to Macy's and it was the same price of $650, but it was on sale, plus another 25% for a presale, plus another 20% off if you opened a card which FI did, and the guy that helped us gave us another 10% off for the trouble of needing to go to the downtown MPLS store to get alterations since they were too backed up.
So we got the very same Calvin Klein suit for, wait for it... $168. And they're delivering it to the mall that is a mile from our house. Fuck you, Men's Wearhouse! FI's dad did end up renting a tux from MW instead since he never dresses up anyway, but we will definitely be showing them that receipt when we go to pick it up. Jesus. Thank goodness we didn't panic and go for it.
how does MW say no one rents anymore - isn't that the bulk of their business and why a lot of their stores are attached to a Davids Bridal? WTF.
That is awesome about the suit! I wanted FI to buy one, but with his gastric bypass and hernia surgeries later this year, there's no way we could spend money on a suit. Although renting the damn thing from MW is costing $150.
We got home today from Nonno's funeral. The wake was a two-day thing, ending at 10pm each night on Saturday and Sunday. Funeral and family dinner today. I've basically got nothing left.
"I'm not a rude bitch. I'm ten rude bitches in a large coat."
@JCbride2015 , that's rough. Wakes and funerals are so draining. For me, mentally and physically.
@FiancB what assholes. Seriously, no one rents tuxes? BS. FI has no intention of owning one. And I love Macy's! They have the best sales!
Every time I got to sit down and work on a tedious, time-intensive project that I seriously need to finish SOMETHING would come up that needed to be solved now. But I'm about 75% done with the project, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
Bug hugs to you, @JCbride2015. That takes such an emotional toll.
This is me today:
I have terrible anxiety and I feel a panic attack rearing its head. Luckily I just got home from work so I won't have to try and manage a drive home or be around people and can just freak out in private.

@slothiegal Panic attacks are the pits. I sometimes get them due to PTSD and it can be really debilitating. If somebody hasn't ever had one, it can be really hard for them to understand. I hate when people say, "Wedding planning is giving me panic attacks/ nervous breakdowns/ OCD!" Um... no.

Oh gurl, are you my soul mate? Same here. The bad ones just knock me out of commission, both physically and mentally. I can't count how many times I've almost lost it on someone saying they're having a "nervous breakdown" because they had a bad day at work or something.
Me right now, realizing (9 hours after mailing invitations) that FI's cousin's name was spelled wrong on the list HIS MOTHER GAVE ME.
And at work at 4:15, when someone asked me if I could "just reconfigure" a report I've been producing weekly to show daily granularity. Um, no, I can't. Certainly fucking not in the next 45 minutes. It'll take me a full day, and you only have me allocated for 4 hours a week on this project. So ask me in 2 weeks.
People, name your kids something spelled consistently. Cuz I'm giving a big middle finger to whoever in the past decided to throw a monkey wrench in the works and decide that Jonathan could be spelled with either an A or an O. F you, person in the past. Sincerely, the girl whose name has at least 4 spellings that I've encountered so far but hey, I didn't choose it.

We must have all been separated at birth here. I can't stand people who don't actually suffer from panic attacks say they're going to have one over something minor/stupid. Or when I'm having one and people tell me to calm down. I WILL CALM THE F DOWN AS SOON AS MY BRAIN/BODY/POWERS BEYOND MY CONTROL LET ME.
How I'm feeling now that I took my meds and I'in my fat girl pants and am all cuddled up with my stuffed octopus:

Re: What gif perfectly sums up how you feel today?
I'm the fuck out.
