Millie's terrible day thread. You can post any and of your disappoints for the day, week, month, year, or your life.

In a bit of self-psycho analysis, I associate my, lets call it, unpleasant adolescences, with my siblings. Isn't their fault. Yet the irrational association is there. And makes the holiday get togethers grim for me! Sad, but I really hate the holidays.
 
Hubby and I just wasted over 2 hours watching Rebel Moon. Implausible story line, cliche dialog. Just an excuse to string along mediocre special effects.
Hopefully, my waste of time won't be yours.
 
Oh, really? We were going to watch it because the trailers looked good on it.

All I can say is that today has been a long week. I'm suffering from a little bit of compassion fatigue. I'm tired of open wounds, unrealistic patients, and terrible families. I love what I do, but sometimes, I just want to run away, take my pillows and blankets, and make a fort out of my couch.
 
I have had multiple stories rejected for teen content recently. Characters are high school seniors with recent eighteenth birthdays, no one loses their virginity before age 18, but because they have sexual desires they realistically developed at a younger age, the site can’t post their tales. :( Oh well, I’m not going to bitch. There’s always other sites with looser standards and I’ll get back to the characters’ acceptable college and later in life activities soon. [fingers crossed] Readers who want to read my stories not on Lit can find me on AO3.

It certainly doesn't come close to the standards set by other inerstellar sci-fi like Star Wars, Alien I & II, or Dune (the first one).
The main villain is just a sadist with no intriguing quirks.
The good/evil conflict is too heavy handed politically correct.
But that's my take
 
Yesterday, I didn't get a bad headache, though I did have a light one. Today, the pain is back full force.

As someone who's had more than their fair share of headaches, I'll share one that sometimes used to work for me, particularly if the headache is stress-related.

Close your eyes. Relax your forehead and shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Then hum the Imperial March to yourself.

The Imperial March also works miracles against ear worms. It seems to scare them away.
 
Today’s biggie? We’ve all but made the decision to return our older rescue dog to the shelter. We’ve had him for a year, and he’s a sweetheart. We love the guy, and he clearly loves us. However, his separation anxiety is so severe that he cannot be left alone at any time. He cannot be boarded - I still owe the kennel several hundred dollars in repair costs from the last time, but the owner keeps waving me off when I try to pay her for it. He’s chewed-up the car interior. He tears himself up if crated for more than a few minutes. And this is still after a year of training and working with him in general.

Dealing with his needs and the impacts to our lives is damaging our marriage. We just made the realization that if we go our separate ways, the situation with the dog gets worse for him, not better. As much as we love the fella, he’s gotta find another home. Adding to our pending sense of loss is knowing that he will be the last dog in our lives after 40 years with a Dalmatian in the family. We’re too old now to start over.

It’s been a tearful morning.
 
My stomach has been hurting for the past three days. I've given up on doing the BRAT diet. If I am going to be in pain anyway, I'll eat what I want. I think I have an ulcer. 😔
