What are you unhappy about today?

[JackCivelli]

There was this awesome one off sandwich shop near my office called Foghat Subs. It’s been there since forever. I’ve been eating there since I was about 13 years old. Covid ran it out of business a couple of weeks ago and I’m probably more sad about it than I ought to be.

Actually I have something I am genuinely unhappy about. I found out today that most schools have banned the reading of To Kill a Mockingbird from the school curriculums. That pisses me off so bad. I read that book in school when I was about 15 years old and to this day it is one of the best books I have ever read. I remember even back then, when I was a dumb shithead, how much I learned reading that book.

Thats also one of my favorite books and The movie is one of my personal faves as well. Schools aren't the same as they used to be sad to say,

I get that, it is both a good sandwich shop and part of your personal history, so a loss in two ways. Sorry that it couldn't make it

There was this awesome one off sandwich shop near my office.... It’s been there since forever... Covid ran it out of business a couple of weeks ago and I’m probably more sad about it than I ought to be.

In downtown Tacoma, some flagship restaurants are closing for good, and hotels are boarded up. There is considerable fear of what might be coming if this continues. Clothing stores and bowling alleys are also closing.

We can't move into our new place on the 3rd as planned. The whole sale has fallen through. Thankfully, it's due to seller incompetence, so we'll get our deposit back etc. What's happened to us with this whole process just feels so unjust, it's like I could choke on the ridiculousness of it.

This is as close to homeless as I've ever felt and I am... Freaking. The fuck. Out. I know we're not homeless. We're still incredibly privileged, and we'll most likely be okay. But I just can't help the sheer panic that's coursing through me right now. We are two women alone in a crime-ridden country after all. We have only a week to find a place to rent.

I just feel so foundationless and unstable.

Sorry, Dims. None of my friends are around right now, and I just HAD to get this out.

Sorry for that. Here you have friends to share. My best wishes your problems with your housing will be solved ASAP!

That sounds incredibly stressful, Odette! Best of luck on finding somewhere acceptable on such short notice, and then on finding somewhere you want to be longer term

Aww, I know moving is rough under any circumstances but when plans fall through at the last minute and you have to scramble to pull things together that can really stress you out. *Big squishy hug* <3

Thank you so, so much, everyone! Everything is still very much up in the air, but thanks to some developments, there's a slight possibility the sale might not fall through after all. We're planning for all eventualities, so we'll see. I'm still a bit of a mess, but there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Thanks so much again for the support. I won't soon forget it, especially since I've been gone from Dims for a while. You guys are amazing

Mel is away in Oklahoma, taking care of her sick dad and running his business. I miss her a lot and I’m sad for her family

 

[Mel KM]

I’m so tired.

 

[Mel KM]

Update:
My dad passed early this morning. He was sick for a long time and I’m grateful his suffering is over, but there’s a hollowness now that I can’t ignore. Nothing will ever be the same in my family again.
I want to go home so bad, but I’m still here in OKC trying to figure out what to do with his shop.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Gentle hugs.

I'm so sorry for you and all who knew your Dad, Mel. It is good that his suffering is done, but the loss doesn't feel any less for it. (my father died of cancer just about two years ago, and I know it is still affecting me. The first year in particular I felt really detached from the world. All the sensible words in the world didn't change those feelings).

Having to deal with his shop, in a strange city, at this time, on top of all that? Wow, what a tough situation. Best of luck on finding a straightforward solution that will let you move on as soon as possible.
