Sort of new here. I fly about once a month and my points balance is 195,000

I still don’t have lounge access and now my status is reset to zero?

Is this reset at the start of every year?

Hard to stay elbows up when there so much American fruit on the shelves. I live in BC where there’s CERTAINLY abundant local fruit available right now - and there’s none in the stores so I bought nothing

Is anyone else experiencing this? This particular “community based website” whose name I’m apparently allowed to use in (starts with letter R) has me login every time i open it now. Is something changing?

I’ve also heard they’re moving to paywall soon.

Once again it’s 1:30am, i haven’t wrapped one thing

Every year i simplify things more and more, i.e. I COMPLETELY quit trying to make a big meal. I don’t do gift wrap, just gift bags

Now we’re at this year. My kids are grown but still at home in post secondary. This mom is not bringing the “magic of Christmas” this year.

In true adhd form, i almost forgot to have kids. They arrived in my 40’s, so i can also be forgiven for actually being exhausted

The only periods i was able to somewhat do Christmas was when i stayed home with them.

Now single again and working A LOT I just can’t manage anymore than working and “existing”

Ever since I returned to work I’ve never been able to do it

Literally how to people shop at Costco? I’ve been there every hour of the day and it’s always ridiculous. Even when the parking lot is not at capacity- somehow the store is still impossible to move around. MANY pieces to that scenario

Nevertheless. I went right after lunch today (Friday) and the parking lot was already at “weekend” levels so i drove away

THEN i went to superstore- OVER a week ago they’re rearranging the whole store ie half the paper products are in the spice aisle, half the laundry products in the cookies aisle, insufficient signage and NO STAFF around to assist (as usual)

I had a lot of stuff i needed to get today and ended up leaving both stores where i would have sp

So I received a Costco coupon in the mail for the price of membership i can apply to an online purchase. Seems worth it. The prices are very good. Especially the non perishables: coffee, toilet paper, bubble water, rice, vitamins and supplements, and some of my favourites guacamole and nacho chips. HOWEVER it is rather like armageddon is upon us shopping there.

So be warned and choose the right time of day to go.

I’m realizing a lot of times I am indeed paying for convenience ie shoppers open 24 hours, superstore open to 11:00pm

However I’m NOT paying for better service. Good luck EVER finding someone in superstore or shoppers to help you. And they’re leaving fewer and fewer cash regi

I've seen these things get towed away by thieves. 1) Is this very common? 2) What's the best way to secure them?

So my sister came by to help me sort and purge my clothes. Mainly because she “can’t stand looking at this anymore” So we dig in. Made the big “marie kondo pile” I now realize i buy things to get that hit of dopamine and when i say buy things i mean i buy THE SAME THINGS over and over again. Several pairs of black pants, beige sweaters, boots, almost all exactly the same. And it is a GIANT pile.

I’m going to surmise this is an adhd thing. Sometimes i have no idea how to plan my outfits so i go buy similar clothes without realizing it.

I’ve done a similar thing with grocery shopping, always thinking I’m out of certain things then reaching the point that I can’t close the freezer or dry go

I’m seeking serious suggestions. My 21 yo daughter has been pretty much trapped in our home since the pandemic started. She has had serious anxiety issues since she was a child and is medicated. The pandemic has very much heightened this such that she seldom goes out, only going by herself or with the dog.

Now that things are returning to normal another issue has arisen EXTREME fear of needles. When she was a child she could NEVER get vaccinated at school. The nurses were very unhelpful and said to her face “I don’t have time to deal with this” When we would manage to get her to the health clinic we’d usually have to restrain her a bit - not like a hostage- more like for support / comfort

Correct me if I’m wrong - but currently you’re not supposed to sit 2 to a seat?

For the 2nd time someone sat right up against me. So i got up and moved. Wondering why people don’t know this

I’ve been trying to get a separation agreement in place for about FOUR years now. My taxes are now a mess because the government doesn’t BELIEVE that I’m separated (without an official agreement) and has now taxed me at a much higher rate based on dual income. There are of course OH SO MANY items to split. The kids (one an adult now) have been with me this whole time so I’m owed a great deal of child support now too. I’m going to make a commitment right now ON THIS PAGE to get this done by tomorrow. I seriously can’t enter another tax year in this mess. Check back with you all tomorrow. Wish me luck! UPDATE! Made VERY good progress today. In other words gathered as much paperwork as I could.

This downtime got me ALL MESSED UP. I have work to finish and seem to be managing to fly under the radar - but working from home and off my routine has killed ALL motivation. I am seriously SO LUCKY to still have a job in this terrible time. Hoping I’ll get it together. What’s working for you?
