I drove professionally for about 25 years. So I never drove unless I knew 100% I would be under control.

Story: One night about 18 years ago my sister wanted to go out dancing. I agreed to meet her. Whenever I didn't have a driver and knew I would be driving home I would have one beer at the beginning of the night and switch to water for the rest of the time. I didn't need alcohol to shake my groove thang. 🤣

At some point in the night we were on the dance floor and someone spilled an entire beer all over me. End of the night my sister was tanked but a "friend" said he was sober and would take her home. We promised to call when we were home safe. I had literally pulled into my driveway when I got a call that they had been in an accident. Not a bad accident, thankfully. No one was hurt. But I agreed to come get her and move her car because they would have to tow it if someone sober couldn't move it.

I showed up, gave my ID to the officers and said I would move her car and they told me no. By this point in time it had been 6 hours since the beer I had because I wouldn't risk my money like that. I explained that I was sober, why I smelled like beer and asked them to do either a breath test or FST. They again refused because they didn't want to do dui on me as well as the guy that was driving my sister's car. Who was obviously being arrested. They made us call our mom at 3:30 in the morning and to say that my sister and I both felt like we were kids, not grown women over 30... 😅

Here's the question I have. Why, if they suspected that I was drunk, would they not perform the tests after having seen me driving my own vehicle and eventually let me drive away when everything was finished?

I would think that they would want to make sure another potentially drunk person wasn't on the road.

Since then, our mom has passed, but I'm still salty that they made us call her. We faced a tongue-lashing that genuinely had us feeling like we were teenagers having gotten caught sneaking out. Never thought as a grown ass woman with kids of our own that our mom could still put the fear of God in us and simultaneously make us feel like huge disappointments.

So, I often end up having wandering thoughts in the shower that typically consists of imaginary conversations or other crazy things. Today I had a funny/ weird conversation/ dialog thing about dishes and towels. Yes, I know I'm a bit nutty... I'm reminded of that frequently.

So while in my shower this evening I remembered a reel from one of the platforms that I honestly don't remember which I saw it on. It was about someone saying they don't wash the outside of their dishes because people don't eat off of the outside. First, ewww. Second, what about when stacking the dishes in the cupboard! Ewww.🤢

But that made me wonder how often people wash their towels because technically you should be clean coming out of the shower. Then I was like what if I said that my towels never get washed because you're clean when you dry off. How many people would post hate not realizing it's a joke... I was genuinely running full conversations in my head trying to explain that it was a joke to imaginary people who were grossed out by my imaginary bath towels never getting washed and posting negative comments. 🙃

I digress... it was so funny to me that my son asked if I was okay or if I was having a mental break while I'm snort-laughing in my lava water. 🤣 so... that was my random shower thought spiral. Oh! BTW I wash my towels weekly and sometimes more. 🤷‍♀️😁 Have a great day!

I woke up craving ice cream. No, I'm not pregnant. 🤣 I was super tired so went to bed at 8:30pm, woke up at 3 craving ice cream tried to go back to sleep. It's now 4:40 ish and I've polished off a bowl of Kemps cookies and cream and an feeling like I can go back to sleep now. 😅😋 should have just gotten the ice cream at 3 when I woke up craving it. 😆

Okay, I like listening to ways stupid people end up dying because they did stupid stuff. I was washing dishes earlier and was listening to one about a guided canoe trip to see hippos and the guy who died because he refused to listen to the guide's warnings and ventured into the hippopotamus area. The story was narrated by AI (I think) and the way it kept saying hippopotamus had me cracking up. All I could hear was, "Hip, Hip Hop, Hip Hop anonymous?" From Big Daddy with Rob Schneider and Adam Sandler. 🤣🤣

Edit: title is supposed to be HIPPOPOTAMUS 🤦‍♀️

I'm feeling very irritated. It feels like there are people who who argue just to argue. A lot of people seem to just look for reasons to be negative, contrary, or just flat out rude. Why? What's the point of being bratty? It just makes me mad! You can disagree with someone without crossing into disrespecting them.

​

If I feel a certain way about a topic, I will say something. But if someone disagrees, then we can have a civil conversation. But once you start heading into disrespect or making asinine comments just to get a rise out of me, then we can't talk. I will remove myself from the conversation. Just why? Ugh!

I just posted a kind of petty thought that I occasionally have and asked if anyone else has random petty thoughts that aren't worth potential jail time. And it was removed. I'm not sure why. Nothing I said was offensive.

I've been divorced since 2013 after 12 years of marriage and I'm annoyed because I can't forget his SSN. I'm not going to go into detail or anything crazy. But I'm honestly annoyed that I can still remember his SSN and I occasionally fantasize about using it to mess with him. Obviously I never would; being petty is not a good enough reason to go to jail. But that little devious and petty side still pops up.

​

So what annoys you enough to occasionally want to be petty but isn't worth the jail time?

Oh goodness... I'm feeling silly, but I do it every single time! Salad? Blow on it like it's hot. Cereal? Ice cream? Cottage cheese? Yup blow on them. Normally I'm alone when I do it or others don't notice/ say anything. However, my teenage son just called me out for it! Now I'm spiraling thinking I can't be the only one! Does anyone else blow on cold/ cool food? 🤣

So I've been taking Venlafaxine for a few months now and my dreams are frequent, vivid, and detailed. I don't mind, but man! I have some strange dreams and want to share the crazy.

I had a dream that some strange thing, maybe Death? Aliens?, or something said that the earth is on its own and they aren't helping with invention ideas anymore because we're too stupid on a whole to understand simple things. I asked what we are too stupid to understand and it replied that it gave us a way to learn Spanish in a day and be fluent. It then gave me something that was computer keyboard shaped but it was bubble-y like those bubble massage shoes. There was a slot to put your hands in and keys like on a piano, but you couldn't see anything that was going on inside so had no clue what to do with the piano keys. I asked this entity how does it teach Spanish. It said "I don't know. I only know what it does, humans have to figure out how. You have 48 hours or we will never help humans again." Then it disappeared and I woke up.

Holy crow! Today was the most interesting experience at the optometrist I've ever had! I'm middle-aged, mid 40s and have been wearing glasses since I was 10. Needless to say, I've had my fair share of eye appointments. Today, however, was the first time I've ever had an optometrist take time to explain things to me in detail. I have another visit for more testing in a few weeks so I plan to ask for copies of my scans. But he pointed out things I never knew, like why and what eye floaters are, he could tell that I've had head trauma (courtesy of my ex-husband), and one thing that really surprised me the most...

He asked if I've always tilted my head to the right and if I ever experience double vision. My reply was I didn't know I tilt my head and yes, I have double vision at times. Apparently my right eye is higher than my left and I've unconsciously been compensating by tilting my head to the right slightly to put my eyes more in line. I'm stunned that he noticed in 15 minutes of conversation that I have a slight head tilt and was right about the double vision! This doctor had to be close to my age, so I doubt it's something he learned in school or others would have probably noticed? Not sure on that, it's just my guess. But I'm just amazed. This man had better plan to stay where he is for a long time or I might have to follow him from location to location. 🤣🤣 Optometrist Stalker. 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've been seeing different posts about neurodivergent/neurotypical and ADHD/ non ADHD 'tells' on places like Snapchat and TikTok. Does anyone agree with what's been said? Example: neurodivergent people shower with their back to the water. Where"normal"people don't. And, ADHD people hold their pencils in a kind of death grip between the thumb and pointer finger with the middle finger kind of supporting it. Where as normal people use a tripod hold. 🤷‍♀️ it's also said that ADHA people angle their paper when they write where as normal people don't. All of this confuses me because if it's true, then I think I'm both neurodivergent and have ADHD. I mean seriously, what kind of psyco faces the water in a shower?! 😆 🤣 What do y'all think? Is there any truth to these posts?
