Zeref Posted July 27, 2024 Share Posted July 27, 2024 15 hours ago, Animedragon said: This is sadly a common occurrence in the UK, delivery drivers just can't be bothered to even ring the doorbell they just drop the stuff on the doorstep and run, I've watched them do it. Fortunately my road is fairly quiet but people who live on more busy roads frequently have their parcels stolen off the doorstep. Then when the delivery notification e-mail arrives it says "handed to resident". Amazon drivers are the worst for this sort of thing. Luckily all packages here are put into the parcel room by the front desk workers or that would likely be common. Today I had the interview for my new job and I believe I have the job. They told me they would call to confirm every thing on Monday with another video conference but I knew the persons interviewing me and things went smoothly. After that we went to the YMCA to go swimming in the therapy pool and the aquatic center, followed by some exercise and walking around in the indoor track. After we went grocery shopping at Walmart and out to eat for Saturday dinner. There was a crazy person in the restaurant we went in to eat however. He was complaining at the wait staff about how he didn't receive his food but had no receipt, then changing his story to he didn't like the food, then he started threatening violence at which point they called the cops. We bagged our food up and were already on our way out the door because of the threats of the things he was getting ready to do, we didn't want to sit around and wait to be a number statistic in a gun crime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted July 28, 2024 Author Share Posted July 28, 2024 Ya this incident @Zeref mentioned at the restaurant today scared me. I don't like loud sounds and yelling is really hard for me to deal with so we had to leave immediately because I felt like I was going to have a panic attack and that my heart was going to pound right out of my chest. Especially when the guy started making threats. It looks like the police arrived though so I hope no one was too shaken up or that any of the wait staff got injured after we left. We went to an aquatic center today at the YMCA and it was really fun ~ They have a huge therapy pool there that is heated with really warm water, almost like a spa, but it's the size of a huge indoor swimming pool. We swam in that for about an hour, then went to the aquatic park part and played in the normal swimming pool where they have several pretty large water slides Then we went back to the therapy pool to warm back up before getting out. We also got in the steam room, sauna, and hot tub. Did some other boring stuff like grocery shopping at Walmart, walking the track, eating, blah blah blah lol Now I'm just going to play some games after waking up from a nap ^.^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted July 28, 2024 Share Posted July 28, 2024 I haven't done much of anything today. I spent the day sitting on the couch watching TV and eating snacks I also played some games. It was raining today so there isn't much to go and do outside anyway. I guess that makes for a good lazy Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted July 29, 2024 Author Share Posted July 29, 2024 I played some games, did some things I had to do like laundry, slept in, did some dishes. I didn't feel 100% today so I didn't do anything I didn't have to do. I had a small headache and I still don't feel as great as I could so I'll prolly go to bed early tonight here in a few minutes. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted July 29, 2024 Share Posted July 29, 2024 Today I was called back from my interview over the weekend and was offered the job I applied for. In 3 weeks I will start working for a new game company and I am happy to have gotten the job at a game I played most of my life. Other than this exciting thing happening there isn't much else that happened in my life today except work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted July 30, 2024 Author Share Posted July 30, 2024 Yesss congrats again Pessikins I pretty slept in and did nothing which is great to do now that I'm on Summer break and have very little to do lol ~ No work study course today so I just played games all day and ate snacks that I probably shouldn't be eating x.x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 I didn't get much sleep last night because it was too hot so I've been a bit shattered all day. I did drag myself out early morning to do some much needed shopping and am pleased I went out early as it's now seriously hot outside. I did manage to do a bit of laundry which will certainly dry quickly in this weather. Other than that I've spent the day doing lots of nothing at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the feeling, I didn't sleep much last night either but mostly because I couldn't get my mind to settle down. I had to get up early for work which didn't go well with my no sleeping. I had to take a nap at my lunch time to try to make up for the lack of sleep. Had to go to the post office after work and mail some things back home for my mom, her birthday is coming soon. I didn't realize how expensive sending small packages internationally was. It was double the amount I planned on it to be. For the rest of the evening I plan to sit on the couch and do nothing much but watch TV. I will try to go to bed early tonight and catch back up on sleep. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted July 31, 2024 Author Share Posted July 31, 2024 I feel lazy on days I'm not really doing anything.. I felt like all I did today was play games and mess around with some craft projects with stickers and gems. I did have to go downstairs to try to sort this online rent payment out. The rent office here still can't figure out why we can't sign up for the online rental payment system, but it tells us we don't exist lol. They promised to have it sorted out by next month but this means we have to drive to get a money order tomorrow instead of just being able to pay online x.x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of sending packages can be surprisingly expensive, even sending packages within the UK can be quite high, and sometimes more that the cost of the item that's being sent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International shipping price I paid yesterday was much more than the item I was sending but it was important to send so I had to pay it. Shipping cost seem to have gone up since I remember shipping packages before that were not as expensive even being around the same weight. Today I had work which I finished but I had to work from 7AM - 6PM. This has taken most of my day up. At lunch I did play some games, PokeMMO and Naruto Arena. I also took a small break in the afternoon to watch the storm coming into the area and play a bit of games too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 1, 2024 Author Share Posted August 1, 2024 I slept in, woke up around noon, vacation from school and days with no work study courses are kinda the best I played games and watched tv, bothered @Zeref while he was trying to get his work done. I was still trying to get this rent thing sorted where we can pay online but once again the managers said they still couldn't access it but they'll definitely have it resolved in the next couple of weeks and not to worry because we wouldn't receive any late fees for our rent. Which the fact that it's due tomorrow is stressing me out even though they've said there won't be any late fees. I like to have these things paid as early as possible so I don't have to think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the week I'd done 10 hours overtime, my manager offered to pay me the 10 hours or give me 2 days extra leave. I took the leave, at the time it was more valuable to me.

Today I worked same schedule. I have been playing some games in between doing work loads. There was also a thunderstorm in the area which lightning set the building next door on fire. I have been watching the fire department work on for the past hour out of the window. I found myself getting a little annoyed at food prices today too. I just wanted to order a pizza for delivery with some wings and it was $40. I could drive to pick up and get a pizza for $5.

Sakura Posted August 2, 2024 Author Share Posted August 2, 2024 I was down at the rent office today 2x trying to pay the rent, which is due today. They still don't know what it's supposed to be with the community fees added as it hasn't dropped from whatever corporate place owns this place and at one point they were even locked out of the computers. They did say there won't be any late fees applied because it's their fault but it's really stressing me out because I don't know how much extra money we have and I don't want to go shopping or get groceries or anything before I know that. There is also a situation with a friend who I didn't know was living in his car and he called me and told me about it. I sent him some money to try to help but I feel anxious about the situation he's in. I'm also pretty worried about multiple friends I have that are close to these wildfires going on. There are at least 3 friends I know of that are close to ones currently. I basically stress ate an entire pizza today which I'm not at all happy about. At one point my chest was hurting really badly and I think it's due to stress/anxiety. At one point feeling like I couldn't even breathe. I'm just hoping it passes soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least now the rent office has it sorted out and your stress on the situation is over I had work until recently but I had to keep leaving and run errands throughout the day. We had a modem to return from the old ATT modem we had which required a run to the UPS store. The rent money order to get which required going to the post office. Lunch to pick up which was a Taco Bell stop. Some mail I didn't realize needed sent out so another post office trip was made Then I had to drive us to pick up a friends dog that we are dog sitting this weekend while she is on vacation. I hope to relax, take a nap, and play some games for the rest of the evening without stress. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted August 3, 2024 Author Share Posted August 3, 2024 A lot of errand running like Pessi already mentioned. Had to go to the post office several times, a UPS store run, getting good, did some laundry. Finally the rent office were able to access their systems and tell us what our rent was, which actually turned out less than we thought because they didn't charge anyone community fees this month due to all the hassle x.x So that was also pretty nice. I'm dog-sitting a friends lil doggy man this weekend and that's really fun. I've been playing with him in the house and took for 2 walks already which he was hyped about lol Other than that I just played some games. Getting ready to get a shower and go play some more games now Probably snack and eat because it's Friday and I feel like it. Sat around and watched a really nice sunset tonight too on the roof with Pessi while we had freezies in the pool lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 3, 2024 Share Posted August 3, 2024 Got up early and took the dog we are watching for the weekend for a walk, made breakfast, cleaned some house and put some things away. Made meals for lunch for the rest of the week. Played games, mostly Runescape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 4, 2024 Author Share Posted August 4, 2024 (edited) Played games a lot, worked on my Runescape character. Played some FFX. Mostly tried to stay in because even though it's not too hot today I still didn't want to risk getting a headache from being out in the heat too much. I did help walk the dog though, but he's small and old so he doesn't walk far to do his business and then he's ready to come back in and lay down again. I think she said he's 19 years old, so he mostly naps on the couch all day and occasionally walks out on the balcony to look at the scenery lol I still felt a bit anxious today and I couldn't pinpoint why. I feel like I can't sit still for 10 minutes without feeling like I need to get up and take my mind off whatever is making me feel anxious except I don't know what it is so I can't fix it I really hate anxiety, some days it just completely messes you up when it hits really hard. Pessi went out and got us some coke icees to have on the balcony while we just kinda relaxed and watched the sunset which did help a bit. The sunset was realllyyyy nice tonight and I was loving the clouds. I very much love our view from here. I took some pictures of it which are down below Spoiler Edited August 4, 2024 by Sakura 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the dog out for a walk, today he also left, we just arrived home from bringing him back to his owner. Dogs seems like so much work, I forgot how much effort you have to make to take them for multiple walks a day and play with them. I decided I don't want a dog anytime soon because I would never have the free time to give it the attention and walks it needs. We are doing a deep cleaning of the house this weekend and it continues today. Pulling furniture out and cleaning behind it, vacuuming, mopping, organizing the cabinets and drawers that are a little messy, cleaning all of the rugs, and spraying for any possible pests. Today my job is to take the rugs out on the balcony and clean them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 5, 2024 Author Share Posted August 5, 2024 Pretty much a lot of cleaning. We've spent the weekend just doing some overall cleaning of the apartment and taking care of my friends dog too. I will kinda miss the dog but I won't miss going outside in the heat to take it for a walk lol I haven't really done much today though I feel like. Played some games and that was really it other than taking an afternoon nap. I guess a pretty boring Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
