Random Fail: First World Problems

i've been on a hot choclate kick for the last few months. works pretty well, though tbh it's more sugar than i should be drinking. my treatment's been doin work, though, so it's not enough to really fuck with me.

I managed to give up soda a decade ago. Just couldn't continue the combination of price and calories.
And diet was never an option. Diet soda tastes like shit, can't stand the stuff.

Speaking of shitty tasting soda.... my favorite soda at least in the flavors it has is Jones soda but a lot of places don't carry it. So was psyched when I learned the new target across the street from me was carrying. Turns out they are carrying some weird version of it that has 1/2 the sugar taken out so it basically tastes like lightly flavored tonic water ie terrible. Needless to say they can't move any of it and it's all in the severely reduced price areas

If you happen to go somewhere with those magic bazillion flavor machines, Fanta zero is better than most noon diet sodas. Diet colas with lime (flavor or actual limes, Mexican places are great) are also great. Although still terrible for your health, low carb monster is better than regular ones.

I find the only replacement for pop to me is iced tea. Not sweetened or that nasty "brisk" stuff they sell in stores. Brew it hot and cool it down, set it to steep in the sun, or amazing "why did it take forever to invent" cold brew tea bags. Only fail is that it seems to really give my bladder a work out.

THEN about three weeks later our hands and feet started to peel. A little at first, but then it got all kinds of gross with skin falling off in chunks. Then THAT went away.

I though it was over. Last week my husband's nails started peeling. I kept crossing my fingers hoping this wasn't related. FUCK. Now layers of my nails are peeling off. SO. DAMN. GROSS.

I expect to lose a limb in two months.

So my husband told me yesterday his toenails are now peeling.

This is never going to end.

Probably should just chop off his feet.

I made them bring me an entire new order. They got it right the second time.

I threw the food away though because I wasn't hungry anymore. Drank the Diet Coke though.

Airenn, I get about 100 words into your posts before I give up.

Funner is not a word. Your roommates are disgusting but you need to learn to post fucking thumbnails.

Everyone needs to drink more water and less soda.

I'll probably have 150-180oz of water today. Gonna be delicious.

**vagus** · 2016-03-20 12:23

You have shitty room mates airenn. GTFO!

I have this weird fidgety hand thing so I ended up just replacing random hand fidgets and checking my watch twice a minute with taking a sip with a bottle I always kept handy. Would end up drinking insane amounts and wouldn't really realize it until I was out or had to pee real bad

This is good advice and I actually did that for awhile with water at home last year so might be a good time to start the habit up again at work too now. I actually was down to only one diet a day or every two days at my "best" so I know it's possible . I have always have struggled with my intake of fluids because I always waited until I was thirsty, which I need to break.

My fail today is I actually had an event to go to and be social and woke up with whatever sickness Melena has so instead I'm staying home.

That description of that disease is fucking horrifying. Honest question but is this a new strain of something over the last decade or whatever ?

I just don't recall it being present growing up at all. The main culprits were chicken pox and strep throat.

Granted, I mostly play 3-10 hour short things, but it helps me stop spending money on new shit and never touching old stuff I've meant to get around to for ages. It also helps force you out of the "I'm just going to sink the next 6 hours into League/14 because it's comfortable and easier than starting something new" loop, which is what I had the most trouble with.

This is something I really need to start practicing myself. I have so many games to play but as of late, for whatever reason, I keep getting this itch to level Beastmaster. I just modded up System Shock 2 and put about an hour into it. I can already see why this game is heralded a classic. I'll try to push through it.

Apparently it's existed for awhile, but yeah. I know I've heard of it before, but never knew anyone who had it.

I used to have that problem... then I started running track and it got hot earlier than normal that year. So that habit got broke the for me the hard way. Only took a few days of running while all dehydrated lol

Called in 2 chicken finger plates at zaxbys. Get them home, find out instead of getting finger plates they gave me 40 fingers instead. Unsure if this is a fail (I WANTED THE BREAD AND FRIES!!) or win (woooo 4x the amount of chicken!).

Put it here because I miss the bread

.

**Anoat** · 2016-03-21 09:09

It's only a fail if they didn't give you enough Zax Sauce.

**Astylla** · 2016-03-21 12:18

Running a 101 fever and have to do a court appearance today. I feel like death , ugh. Please let this go quick.

They gave me half zax, half honey mustard! Ugh!

**Zetanio** · 2016-03-21 14:07

I tried a new pepper sauce. It's amazing.

Turns out it's not sold on this coast.

Gotta order a half gallon from Amazon.

Life sure is tough.
