I'M GOING TO THE BINS! 🎉😂

My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks, and Mom asked me what I wanted to do for it.

Technically, we have a Goodwill “bins” in my city. But… LOOK AT IT (see video)

No blue bins. They don't rotate things out. Just big cardboard boxes full of crap. And everything is always damp because the ceiling leaks. Nice 🙄

So I thought the closest real Goodwill Outlet was about 2 hours away, and I was going to tell Mom that for my birthday I wanted to make a day trip and go hit it up.

Then I randomly Googled it.

THERE'S ONE 45 MINUTES AWAY.

So apparently for my birthday, Mom, my aunt, and I are gonna go dig the bins!

Some people want a nice dinner.
Some people want a spa day.

I want to dig through piles of other people's discarded crap!

I should know better than to feel hopeful.

I really had myself convinced my back issues were SI related. I was so sure. My symptoms scream SI issue.

So i brought it up to my GP at an unrelated appointment Monday. She says, "lets look at your last MRI" and pulls up my images from January of 2025.
... and my SI joint looks perfectly fine 😫

I was deflated.

But I tell her how much pain I've been in and how I have basically zero quality of life lately. So she agrees we need to do something.

So... we're starting all over. Xrays on Friday, then an MRI, then probably a referral to pain management for injections that won't work, then a referral to my surgeon that doesn't want to operate. Yay. 🙄

Guys... I was the as***le Marketplace buyer today. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

A woman listed a hanger rack, and I have been wanting one FOREVER. I messaged her immediately, and luckily it was still available.

Her ad said she had no problem holding it if it was paid for through Venmo, so I asked if I could Venmo her now and have my aunt
pick it up the next time she was in that town.

For context, the town is about 40ish minutes from me, but only like 10 minutes from my aunt. She grocery shops there and is in that area frequently. Good plan!

The lady says absolutely. I Venmo her. It's mine. Everything is going beautifully.
Then my aunt messages, "Well, if she's available right now, I could just go get it right now."

EVEN BETTER.

I message the lady. She says sure and tells me to have my aunt meet her and her son at her storage locker.

So this woman rounds up her grown son and drives to her storage unit. My aunt drives over there. They meet up. They go to load the rack into my aunt's SUV... IT DOESN'T FIT. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The seller lady very much even had dimensions on her listing. I didn't pay attention or even remotely think it wouldn't fit. Didn't even cross my mind.

I sent 3 people on an unnecessary field trip and wasted everybody's time. I am a Marketplace as***le!

Two years ago today, I held Boris in my arms while he died.

I told him he didn’t have to fight anymore. I promised him that I would be okay.

And sometimes I feel like I lied to him.

Because I have most definitely not been okay.

There have been so many times I’ve wished I could just have him back for five minutes. Just long enough to hold him, bury my face in him, and feel like the world is okay again.

He was my constant for 15 and a half years. Through different versions of me, different homes, different people, good days, terrible days, and everything in between. He was there.

And then suddenly he wasn’t.

I knew losing him was going to break me. I just didn’t know how much of my sense of safety and home would go with him.

Two years later, I still miss him in a way I don’t know how to put into words. I still think about that last day. I still think about holding him and telling him I’d be okay.

Maybe someday I will be.

But I’m not there yet.

I hope wherever you are, you know I meant it when I said you could stop fighting. You had fought long enough. You were tired, and I loved you enough to let you go even though every part of me wanted to keep you here.

I just wish I had been right about the part where I said I’d be okay.

Two years without you, Boris Oliver.
I would give anything for one more day. ❤️

Apparently we’re just signing people up for s**t they didn’t ask for now? Cool. Cool cool cool.

My dad and I went and got new phones the other day. Dude never asked if we wanted insurance. Never mentioned insurance. Never discussed insurance.

I get an email showing what my next bill is going to be and I’m like… WHY is this so high?!

Oh. Because dude just took it upon himself to add $20/month insurance to BOTH of our lines.
That’s $40 a month for something neither of us asked for or agreed to.

**I actually worked for this phone company before I got sick 18 years ago. That's why my parents are on my plan. I got 50% off my bill so I put them on my plan way back then and we've just left it that way ever since**

AND...

A couple weeks ago... my mom, my niece and I went to Best Buy to get my niece a new laptop. Same kind of s**t. Dude took it upon himself to sign my mom up for a $30 Best Buy membership she never asked for.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

Are employees getting commissions or bonuses for adding this stuff? Are there quotas? Because how are you allowed to just add a recurring charge to somebody’s account without actually asking them if they want it?

And I know, I know... “check your receipt.” “Read everything before you leave.”

But why should the default assumption be that I need to inspect my account afterward to make sure the employee didn’t SIGN ME UP FOR EXTRA S**T WITHOUT ASKING?!

Twice. At two completely different stores. Within a couple weeks.

Is this just a thing now?! Because what the actual hell.

This is how it should be.

Two brothers sharing their birthday cake.

Instead, I had to ask ChatGPT to create this for me.

Their birthdays are only (one year and) 9 days apart, and this is exactly how I always pictured celebrating them... together.

And it makes me so sad that this isnt our reality.

I know I made the decision I had to make. I know why Gomez can't live here. I know Vincent deserves to feel safe in his own home, and Gomez deserves a home where he isn't constantly put in a situation he can't handle. I can know all of those things and still absolutely hate it.

Because look at them.
This is how it should be.

I don't want two separate homes. I don't want separate birthdays and visits and figuring out which dog is going to be where. I want my two boys under my roof. I want stupid dumb pictures whenever I feel like taking them without AI making them. I want the life I thought the three of us were going to have.

And today I realized something that sucks even more:

I don't have one single picture of me with both of my boys. Not one.

I have approximately 47 billion pictures of them. Pictures of them separately. Pictures of them together. But not one picture of the three of us.

I really thought I had more time. Who would have thought I'd only have 10 months to have my two boys under the same roof?!

I'm sad. I'm angry. I'm still pi**ed that things turned out this way... even if I know it was the right decision.

I love them both more than anything.

Buyers 🤦🏻‍♀️

The pictures clearly show there are no insoles.

The pictures show the Velcro holding just fine.

So neither one of these things should actually qualify as INAD... but we all know better.

🙄 Whatever. Send them back.

It's been 3 days and no return request started 🤔
