Dear Diary: Today, in the elevator, I stood beside a dark-skinned man. He pressed 7. I pressed 26. Neither of us spoke. America is changing.

Struggling to pick up carrier from vet where cat died

This seems so silly, but my cat went into cardiac arrest and died at the emergency vet 10 days ago.

This kitty was my best friend, and his death has impacted me more than anyone's death before. I've never had such a close relationship with an animal. It's torture losing him and feeling like I could have done more.

I could have at least stayed with him. Why didn't I? I don't know. Every other time I've gone to the vet, it's like you drop off the animal, they work their magic, then you come back and pick up your friend. I was only gone 15 minutes when they called me. I should have been there.

Ten days later, and I still can't bring myself to go back to pick up his carrier. I've tried, but I start to freeze up and cry as I go that way. I just have so many regrets, so much guilt. Even just driving is kind of triggering. I'm getting closer each time, though.

But it's been ten days. I've got to actually do it soon. Thanks for listening.

"Group" project is finally done. So sick of these slackers!!!!

Yet another rant about group projects. 😡

FUCK GROUP PROJECTS! They are the absolute bane of my existence. 100% of the time, I end up doing 99% of the work.

I came up with THIRTEEN pages for this project, then lil dude pulls up in my texts around 7 PM the DAY it's due like, "Heyyy I'm gonna get started, but idk what the deliverable needs to be." 🙄

So you haven't even read the instructions? You haven't watched the lectures? You expect me to fill you in on the whole fucking thing?

No worries bro, I got this. 🫩

And then, in the "contributions" section, he has the AUDACITY to claim he spent 6 hours on this shit. More like 6 minutes.

I can't with these kids. 😤
