pure human envy...

Now that I think about it, almost everything is starting to get on my nerves. My husband set me off yesterday just because he wouldn't drop everything to help me reach something on top of a cabinet 🤣while he was busy washing the dog 🤣...🙂 🙂..

Medicare!!! 🙂🙂

They’re cutting off my supplemental coverage at the start of next month. I sent them a written notice on the 11th, but they didn't even process it until mid-month. What am I supposed to do about it? It shouldn't take fifteen days for mail to travel from one side of the city to the other...🙂🙂

Now they’re claiming that because I didn't give them sixty days' notice—only fifty—🙄🙄 I’m stuck paying three more months of premiums per the fine print!!! 😵😵 Absolute thieves. I'm not paying a cent; they can try to sue me if they want. I signed for a year, I gave notice, and they're just being incompetent...🙂🙂

That’s just how things work here... nobody cuts in front of me locally, but I was recently in Italy and people were practically shoving me to the front of the line. Same thing at the H&M in Minneapolis... It’s just that here in America, it feels like people act like you don't even exist😉 (if only they just ignored you instead of actively pushing past you😠).

James Anderson8 said:People are truly animals. It is absolutely mind-boggling how no one will step aside for a pregnant woman; they actually have the audacity to look you in the eye and ask if they can cut in front of you!! I suppose I can’t say I’m surprised by the men, given they haven't a clue what this experience is like—though, honestly, they tend to be much more attentive toward us, almost as if they're walking on eggshells, haha. But those older women? Good grief, surely they were once pregnant themselves and could manage a shred of empathy!

On a different note, I am becoming increasingly irritated by my own sudden forgetfulness. This morning, while running errands near Target, I headed to the restroom intending to collect a sample for my sister's medical tests, only to find myself habitually using the toilet instead of the specimen cup. I was standing there, clutching the little cup in my hand, staring at it with such misplaced confidence! It wasn't until I was finished that the realization hit me: I had completely botched the task. No sample for my sister this time...

It just reminded me of what a friend told me... she was eight months pregnant and taking the subway to an appointment. She stood by the door because, naturally, nobody bothered to give up their seat 🙄... then this woman stares her down and asks how far along she is. My friend answers, hoping at least someone might offer a seat 😁 but instead, the lady just looks at her and goes, "Must be tough for you, huh?" and then she just 😂 😂 😂 and stays seated... my friend said she didn't know whether to cry or laugh in that moment 🤷

People were driving me absolutely insane outside the restroom at the arena during that whole circus 🙂. I get in line, and this lady just cuts right in front of me, claiming she needs to go super fast because it’s an "emergency." It wasn't even an emergency for me; I don't have a toddler sitting on my bladder 🙄... if the whole arena didn't hear my reaction, they never will 🙂. Naturally, the woman behind me just stared at the wall while we waited 😁>

Fast forward to today. I'm standing at the checkout in the grocery store—of course, nobody lets me skip ahead even though I've only got a single yogurt in my hand—and this lady cuts in again, insisting she only has one item 🙂... she heard me loud and clear this time, though. My patience is wearing thin, so she ended up moving to the back of the line

I think I'm becoming a bit of a villain. But it's hard to stay calm when I've been dealing with a pinched nerve for days now (not that anyone needs to know that 😛). I'm shuffling along like an idiot, and people just shove past me without a second thought, or worse, give you that little nudge like, "Move it, you're in my way" 🙂>

It’s the exact opposite at my house when it comes to my mother-in-law 🤷..... she just wants to go on endless shopping sprees 😲 😲 and frankly, it gets under my skin 😁 because she insists on picking everything out herself ☕

I swear, pregnant women are never satisfied 😍 😍

I shut that conversation down immediately, and now they don't dare bother me with it again.

But cats scratch kids right in the eyes! And they do it in the middle of the night when you aren't looking.😂

I told the last neighborhood busybody that we'd already arranged for euthanasia, and she just looked at me and said, "Smart move. People usually lose their minds when you suggest that."🙂🙂

A baby nest is that little padded cushion used to hold infants in your arms, like this:

And if we’re actually going to debate car seats, I have to add one thing: how on earth did we all survive back then? As if you could just bolt a modern car seat into a horse-drawn carriage... ridiculous...🤣

Advice 🙄...
Honestly, who cares about a crib? The kid will just be sleeping with you and your husband for the first year anyway! ☕...
What car seat? You basically just carry a newborn in a swaddle... 😲
Now you’ll probably have to get rid of the dog. It’s common knowledge that dogs get jealous and go after small children. I heard a story from a friend of a friend of a neighbor—some lady's acquaintance had that exact issue. Her dog ate her baby... or maybe the dog will just get jealous and toss the kid around like a football. 🤣 🤣 🤣 ... I don't even know whether to laugh or cry at this point. 🤷
And how on earth are you getting to the top floor without an elevator? I guess you'll just have to carry them up in pieces...

Has anyone actually tried the cakes at Millennium?
