What pissed you off today? Mark II

Day before going to NH with the wife for the evening and night, my foot - arthritis and bone spurs - decided to let me know they're still around: Spasms, pain, snaps so loud it made coworkers to ask if I just broke something.
 
Trying to reach back out to a group of people I have years of history with after a porcupine's dilemma and the only one that reached back to me was the one I saved from being kicked out around this time last year. Not the people I'd consoled as they'd cried, or the ones I'd treated for minor injuries over the years, not the one's I'd listened to and tried to help. Not even the one I brought into the guild (though in her defense she checks the FB page incredibly rarely.)

So maybe its more of a hurt-pissed off right now.
 
Reading about the long-term effects of climate change, some of which are expected to become largely noticeable in merely 4 years.

'Water stressed' African nations fighting over freshwater sources in 2020.
50% of the world's agricultural production destroyed by soil salinity and changing weather conditions by ~early 2030's.
Soaring food prices worldwide because ^.
Mass desertification of southern Europe and southern USA.
~2+ Billion expected refugees by 2080 fleeing the M.E. due to uninhabitable temperature increases.
Migration north of tropical illnesses and insects.
Mass species extinction due to loss of land area, changing sea temperature and habitat destruction.
And last but certainly not least...the return of smallpox.

As the UK government prepares to open fracking wells in England and the USA subsidizes Exxon Mobil for billions of dollars a year rather than fund green tech research....

Wow we screwed up.
 
I spent most of the night needing a piddle, but to have one would have meant disrupting the bed of sleeping cats, dogs.G. There was some animal tension last night, as little guy decided visitor dog had outstayed his welcome when G cuddled him too mch , and then visitor dog got very upset about sex...

Lying awake with a full bladder felt small price to pay for keeping the peace, but now I am not sure it will ever feel the same again. :(

Makes me kind of happy, that Lady C and I have always enforced a "no kids and livestock sleeping in our bed"-policy.
 
:D

Have to admit, last night was rough.:(. ( too many testicles in the bed partly) But then, this morning was wonderful, all cuddles and love and warmth. It's especially valuable when I am alone: I am a social animal. :).

I have had to spend the nights recently with my legs hanging out over the side of the bed, because kitties have chosen to take up my foot space :cattail: I'm with you, totally worth it in paybacks of middle of the night snuffles and morning stretches and snuggles :heart: :)
 
It doesn't piss me off. It just makes me sad that I just can't give up on a treasured relationship even though I keep getting billboards and skywriting and 10-foot-tall graffiti saying NO. CHANCE. AT. SAVING. THIS.

Please tell me someone else here has ever been as embarrassingly, stubbornly clinging to that 1 percent chance of reconciling with a love. Please?

I've been guilty of that, and no amount of good advice could sway me. You've got to come to your own conclusions. Only then can you look back, say you tried your best, and be able to move on.

I also go for those that, in all honesty, deserve far better than me.

But I'll never stop doing that, because I'm a stubborn bastard who wants to be happy in spite of myself :D

Stubborn Bastards Who Want to be Happy unite. Thank you for confessing that you're in the club. Oh, lots of great advice, wasted like beachwear on a vampire.

I do love this. Thanks:
