busy week, taking a bunch of notes, not much time to talk

I know I answered last week but I just need to vent: my sibling and their boyfriend invited me on vacation and it’s actually kind of depressing. I forgot they both have sleep apnea, not their faults, but we’re up for less than 12 hours every day and keep shooting down my suggestions because they’re tired. We’re late for everything because they always need 2-3 more hours of sleep than they told me.

Our hotel room’s door is broken so if I leave on my own I can’t get back in. I lived with my sibling long enough to know that if they lock me out, I’ll be banging on the door shouting for ages to get back in.

I wanted to see the sights… We’re on day two out of three and we’ve done a little shopping. We leave early tomorrow.

I’ve been so frugal and overworked to cover these costs, why can’t we at least grab a local coffee instead of a national chain? I’m in a new place, I want to act like it!

UPDATE finally dragged their sleepy asses to one of the wonders of the world 🥺 it’s everything I imagined. Sorry for griping

Work still sucks. Still applying elsewhere. Still studying for the A+ cert. It feels hopeless. Even if I get the cert I’m still in competition with all these highly technical people who worked at like Google and Facebook.

I wish you good luck! I think about that competition aspect a lot. It makes me hesitant to even try to learn new skills, but I know I’ll probably need to in order to also escape my current work situation. So good on you for applying yourself!

Family are all sick with viruses and one with tonsillitis. There are also other health related issues with certain family members which have been dragging on for a while now. I’m the sort of person who rarely gets sick, so I have to be the nurse while working my 5 days a week. It’s hard and I’m not the best nurse if the truth be told, so I’m getting sick of the attitudes from people I’m trying to help. People aren’t really themselves when they’re sick so I’m just trying to be patient and tell myself that it won’t always be like this.
