One thing I noticed is people up north are far friendlier than people down below here in Michigan.

Every yooper I've interacted with has been nice. Can't say the same for people down in metro detroit where I'm at. I'm on the way back home and dread it deeply.

Both of my ankles are beyond swollen and stiff from too much salt. Is this normal?

Both of them are retaining water and are very puffy and stiff. It's sort of hard to walk and bend my ankles.

I decided to go on the trip afterall.

Getting sick with pneumonia really did a number on my lungs and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go and keep up. Especially here in Michigan with that candian fire smoke. I'm currently in route to the upper peninsula with my two... See More »

Broke down and finally went to doctor. I have pneumonia.

I'm coughing very hard and keep throwing everything up. This really sucks.

I swear I have a stomach ulcer. So much burning.

Especially after eating greasy food or drinking something acidic like pop. My stomach just burns each time. Probably explains the blood streaks in my vomit I get sometimes.

Forced myself into work this morning ended up throwing up and being sent home anyway.

There was also blood in my vomit. Matches the blood from exclusively my right nostril. Fun.

Why do jobs not want you to come in sick but turn around and chastise you for calling out?

I'm running a 101.0 F fever you do not want me in believe me. I called off this morning and they acted like I committed a war crime. I rarely call out unless I need to and I'm never late. Give me a break I'm dizzy, body aching, chills... I'm useless... See More »

I've now come down sick...you've got to be kidding me.

Woke up with a sore throat and feeling like a bus ran me over. Body aches, running a fever and feeling like I have GERD flaring up too. Why? Just why? Great timing...not exactly.

I took 4 days off of work and I can honestly say I resent my job at a soul level

I needed a break and I felt peace, I felt free. Today was my first day back and I went right back into the hate my life depression spiral. I felt angry again and annoyed and my happiness was gone. I know I need a new job but what? That's just it I... See More »

I never realized I still have unresolved issues steming back to school. Gah I feel kind of nauseous and also embarassed.

Now that summer is here and school is out that means the teens are roaming around in packs. I don't know what it is about teenage boys but they have staring problems. I actually got to spend time with my older brother today and he took me to the gym.... See More »

Why is it so hard for me to believe that someone out there might actually like and or want me someday? It's hard not to see it as a joke you know?

I don't want to work today. Will you please cover my shift?

What is your dad's name in spirit of fathers day?

Norman but he prefers Norm.

I don't think I can handle sugar anymore.

Makes me sick, shakey, jittery, dizzy..... I felt out of it. All because I drank super sweet tea and had a bowl of icecream. I don't understand because I've never felt that way before and I always drink my tea that way.

I've been doing a lot of thinking recently.... all because of an old photo.

This happened the year after I graduated highschool so 2009. The fact that it's nearing 20 years since I graduated makes me want to vomit but that's something else entirely. So the photo was of me kissing a male friend of mine on the lips. It was... See More »

What is one kind of job you will never do again?

Cooking because that's the job I was sacked from and everytime I've worked in a kitchen my anxiety was sky high and I constantly felt bad. I like cooking but hate the kitchen culture.

Losing your job is one of the scariest things an adult can go through.

In 2016 I lost my job that I had for several years and was only late one time due to car issues and had called to let them know. I was also employee of the month several times and had trained many people there. I was let go because the schedule was... See More »

Are there people who just give off vibes that make you uncomfortable but you can't explain what exactly it is about them that gives off those vibes?

Last summer my nieces came over to swim in the pool my apartment complex has. There was this lone older man who gave off vibes I didn't care for he just seemed creepy to me. He never did anything but there was just something about him that made me... See More »

My car is a deathtrap and is going to cost me $1,500 to repair.

There is a bunch wrong with it. I finally took it in because the front end was bouncing like crazy. Something in the suspension was broke, there was something wrong with my brakes and I don't remember if it was ball bearings or something about u... See More »

What do you call things like coke or pepsi where you're from? It's pop here.

I'm from Michigan and we call it pop.

How different are you from your siblings?

I have an older brother who is older by three years. We used to be close as kids but we took different paths as we got older. He went to college and works for a mortgage company. He's married with kids and has a nice house in a nice part of town with... See More »

The guilt is still there even though it happened last year.

The first crime was exploiting the knowledge that my mom is notorious for shutting her car door on her seatbelt which means it never really latches. She kept a crazy amount of change in her cupholders to the point it was beginning to overflow. I... See More »

What are your thoughts on the term "white trash"?

I've been called it and my upbringing can be described as that. It's flung around as an insult where I'm from. Personally it just makes me shrug.

Perhaps it's typical to say but I dread going in.

I work at a smoke shop so in a way it's fairly chill but it's draining in other ways. My schedule is all over the place. One day I'll close then I'll open the next day oh clopening is fun. Dealing with people gets tiring and draining especially when... See More »

Why do they give you insane amounts of food at Chinese restaurants?

I ordered an orange chicken combination plate three days ago and I'm still eating off of it. Not sure if I just eat like a bird or if the portions are just that ginormous.
