Touched a book in a charity shop and now its contents are appearing everywhere?

So today I went for a walk and I happened to pass by a charity shop. I went in had a look around and there was a couple of books about space in there. I picked them up, skimmed through and forgot about them.

Since I have gotten home and accessed the internet everything is about space. Videos of people with telescopes which was literally the entire topic of one of the books.

I didn’t have my phone on me when I went and I didn’t even mention the books to anyone as I forgot about them. So it’s not as though my phone ‘heard me’

I literally went out by myself nothing on me- no phone, no money and now space is everywhere

How can this possibly happen??

Literally my entire algorithm or whatever the hell it’s called on TikTok and Instagram are all about space and I have no idea how my phone or anyone knows about it.

I haven’t googled it or typed in anything about it in my phone either. Like I said I completely forgot about it. I’ve never googled anything about space before, watched any movies, nothing.

Finally got a job after 3 months of unemployment but now I’ve took it to far

So good news after approx 200 applications on indeed and being rejected to even volunteer, I am finally going to be working as a nurse again 🥹

It’s a community role and I am just so excited and can’t wait to start.

However, due to the excitement I went overboard and ordered cake to celebrate
In the past 30 minutes I’ve eaten

15 bueno Dutch pancakes
A whole tray of old school cake and custard
A whole tray of Oreo cake
A tub of ice cream

I’ve took it too far, can barely breathe and fear I might actually die before my start date.

Dog keeps pooping on the kitchen floor and wetting her bed if she isn’t allowed to sleep upstairs

So our dog sleeps downstairs in her bed in the kitchen. She always has and she knows to go outside to the toilet.

Anyway, recently she followed me upstairs and I felt bad sending her downstairs so she slept on my floor on some blankets.

Sjnce then she is not using the toilet outside. She is pooping on the floor and wetting her bed. She is even pooping and peeing on the floor in front of us.

She knows this is wrong because she does it and then runs outside after.

She is doing it so that she is allowed to sleep upstairs. But I’m actually severely allergic to dogs and I woke up in hives with swollen lips and eyes after the time she slept with me.

The other day she ran in my room, threw herself on her back and then played dead to avoid going back downstairs. It took 3 people to pick her up and carry her downstairs 🤣
She also keeps running in my room and hiding behind wardrobe or under my bed so we can’t reach her lol

How do we get her to stop being so stubborn and sleep in her bed again and go outside for the toilet?

. We have been together 7 years and since then I’ve gained a lot of weight. My anxiety has gotten to the point where I don’t leave the house anymore. I try every diet, starved myself and I always gain it back.

He doesn’t help me he is constantly buying me chocolates, cakes ect and then says I have to eat them or else I’m being ungrateful. So he knows I try to diet but brings me things anyway.

I go outside for work and shopping, but I won’t go out and see family or friends because I generally feel so ashamed. Anyway this weekend he is trying to force me to go to a party with his entire family. He’s saying I haven’t seen them in years and I’m being ridiculous.But if I’m too embarrassed to see my own family, why would I want to go to a party where I feel like a fat ugly whale to meet his entire family??

I will feel like crap all night and will probably feel depressed afterwards. Even when he asked me I started throwing up because my anxiety got so bad about it.

He is trying to force me to go so now I feel like the only option is to leave and avoid the situation all together. I know it’s extreme and my own fault but I would rather just get rid of the relationship than go to this party.
How can I get him to understand that I’m not just being difficult? I’ve told him the reasons why and he is still pressuring me. Is there any way to handle this without just ending everything?

So I’m convinced my mum is literally crazy. She is just not normal and doesn’t live in any normal reality. Everything I do, she did first or done it better. Sometimes she says stuff that clearly just have not happened but she really tries to convince you 💀

Literally an hour ago I told her I’m thinking of joining a pole dancing class that has just started. She said don’t pay for that I can teach you. She then went on to ask me ‘did I not know that she is a professional pole and podium dancer’ like no your not 🤣🤣 you work in a care home wtf

Then the dog came over to me and I said her breath stinks I need to brush her teeth and she said I’ve already done it. I brush her teeth every morning and night. Again no she doesn’t 🤣 she never has!!

I even bought stuff for the dogs allergies and she was like oh yeah I’ve got her all those in the past she must have just run out. Like I’ve been here four months and never seen a single produxt in this house so why you lying

The best thing is that I’m a qualified nurse and she hates it.
People will ask me how my day went and I will say for example ‘was a bad day had a really sick patient or cardiac arrest’ and one time she was like yeah well I had 2 cardiac arrests and I had to manage it all on my own and when the paramedics arrived they was hugging me and telling me I should be a nurse I did so well

So you’re telling me paramedics arrived to a cardiac arrest scene and instead of saving the patients life they decided to do a praise party for you?? 🤣🤣🤣

Another time my aunt was unwell and was asking me what to do. So I was telling her and after each sentence my mum would mimicking exactly what I said like a parrot and then after looked at me and said ‘I should be the nurse here not you since I’ve just told her what to do and you didn’t know’???

My family even enable this behaviour and was thanking her for helping even though she literally just mimicked exactly what I said

The very best thing is now she is claiming she was accepted to be a nurse. She claims she was accepted to nursing school but didn’t go as she didn’t want to embarass me. The only thing wrong with this story is she said she passed the nursing exam to get on the course. In the UK we don’t have a nursing exam 🤣🤣. I asked her what exam and she said the NCLEX. That’s American it doesn’t even exist in this country

This woman is crazy and I’m apparently the only one who notices this and when I call her out on it my family tell me to stop it??

The entire family is crazy

TL;dr mother wont leave her openly gay partner

I’m so sick of this relationship. Alls they do is argue and be unhappy but in front of people act like they have the best relationship ever.

They have been together 20 years and throughout the 20 years this man has cheated on her with other men. They share a joint email address where she is regularly receiving messages that he has joined yet another gay dating sight or receiving messages from men on them. She also gets notifications of hotel bookings, dinner reservations

He literally cheats on her she gets angry, they fight, break stuff and then a day later she forgives him. It’s not as if he is even hiding the fact he is gay when he knows she receives all the email. One of his dating bios was literally ‘old gay man looking for younger fun’ like if that ain’t a confession I don’t know what is 🤣🤣

Not to mention he took out a loan and got them in debt because he became a sugar daddy for some male model who turned out to be AI 😭
Even on Christmas Day he should have been with my mum and his daughter and he lied that he had to work but not so secretly spent the night with a man.

Like how many warning signs can someone give you. If someone is leaving you on Christmas Day to be with someone else then it’s time to just give up.

My mum says she knows he’s gay but what’s the point in throwing away 20 years and says he is too old to be kicked out. Yet I think he only stays because she pays all the bills. He spends all his money on meeting men online in chat rooms and webcam calls and hotels ect and then says he can’t afford to pay bills.

What can I do to make her see sense and get rid of this man? I keep telling her she is so young and can get someone else but just says she can’t be bothered

So I have been trying to teach my dog to walk nicely. She hasn’t had a lot of social interaction due to both my parents working night shift but I’ve moved in now and trying to take her out. We Started off in the garden, then up and down the street and then yesterday she went to the dog park for the first time. There was approximately 15 dogs that I counted and she walked past all of them and didn’t bark or even try to go to them. She did amazing

Well I tried to take her there again today but as soon as she got outside she was barking and pulling me around. She calmed down abit and we managed to get up the street and there was 2x children. She started growling and barking very viciously, she was jumping up, pulling me across the road and wouldn’t stop trying to get to kids, pulling me out in to traffic and wouldn’t stop trying to get these kids. I got her away from the kids but then a man and a dog appeared and she got even more vicious, got even more stronger trying to pull me to the dog was even jumping up on her lead, trying to bite it as though she wanted me to drop it so she could get to the dog and was slobbering everywhere and when I looked at her afterwards all her eyes were red

So now I feel like it’s not safe to take her out again. I really feel like if she got to those kids or dog she would have bitten. I’ve never actaully seen her this bad and I’m confused what happened since yesterday. We are home now and she is still being weird she won’t sit, wont listen, keeps running under people tripping them up

Anyone know what might have happened?? Why was she so good yesterday but then suddenly changed today? Now I’m worried about taking her out again since she almost got me run over and tried to bite kids

He takes everything from the middle. Even cake.

He is also apparently incapable of not mixing in coffee wjth the sugar. So if you want sugar for your tea your doomed.

Is it just me or do the majority of patients and their families think nurses shouldn’t have breaks. They want us to starve and be infested with UTI’s from not peeing all shift.

It’s such a common occurrence on my ward for me to say to a colleague I’m going on my break. Then that one family member with ears like a whippet decides to come over ‘I’ve just heard your going on break but I want you to do XYZ first’

Or the patient ‘you better make me a drink before you go anywhere’

I was on my break at the hopsital Starbucks. Literally just chilling. An old man and woman sat a few tables away just kept staring at me and I heard the woman saying ‘no wonder the care here is terrible when all the staff are sat on their ass in Starbucks’ 🤣🤣🤣

In fact I’m even lucky if I get breaks. People will see me walking down the corridor or in the hospital shop and think it’s the perfect time to ask me for directions. But then don’t want you to tell them where to go, they want you to come off their break and walk them there. I was even eating once and someone asked me to stop eating to walk them to xray.

The funniest one I’ve seen recently was in the hospital restaurant. It is shared so anyone can use it staff/patients. A nurse walked in and sat at her table and started eating lunch then someone walked over to them and said ‘I’m ready for my shower now’ 🤣🤣🤣 girl what was your thought processes of thinking this was the perfect time to ask that??

I don’t know if this is just the crap that happens in the UK or just in my hospital but it’s just weirddddd. I’ve been in hospital as a visitor quite a lot recently and I couldn’t even imagine doing any of this

I might do a degree in psychology because I need to know the psychological process behind the decisions people make whilst in a hospital setting

So my family are making me seriously depressed and miserable. I put in a lot of work in to quieting my mind and getting in to a state where I was able to meditate without my wind wondering. I was waking up grateful and happy but now as soon as I’m awake I’m just angry

Alls they do is complain. I’ve not enough money, I don’t like my food, the weather is bad. They could probably find a tiny single speckle of dust and find over 100 different ways to complain about it. But it’s always me they are complaining too. I can’t even go and make a drink without someone keeping me there to just complain about every single thing imaginable. I even go the toilet and they stand outside the door talking through it and complaining.

I can’t even sleep because they will just come in my room to wake me up and complain. I generally feel like I’m drained. I’m trying to keep my energy up an manifest getting a job and getting out of this place, but I can’t do any of that anymore because I’m just drained and angry all the time.

Urghhh I really did have a good thing going on and now it’s all ruined. I even medicate for protection, put myself in bubbles but only they can survive so much. The bubble is eventually going to pop if you spend literally 24 hours a day around negativity.

I just feel so annoyed all my hard work is ruined as I generally felt better in myself and wasn’t as depressed or anxious.

Even typing this they are complaining to me

She has never done this before. Doesn’t really lick anything other than her paws. But tonight she won’t stop licking my pants! Even when I tell her no she is licking them. I’m in my pyjama pants now and she just keeps staring at these pants in the laundry basket 🤣
