Happy Saturday, y’all! I hope you are doing well and that you are ready to have a great weekend. Not much new has happened during the week, and I am still trying to deal with life’s challenges as they are thrown at me. The kitty crew is doing great and thriving, which is amazing. The weather has been much colder, so I worry about the outside feral cats, but I have learned that cats have an amazing ability to survive. I think many animals have an instinct that humans do not have, and are survivors. Of course, I still continue feeding the feral cats, and have made them a small enclosed area on the porch with large blankets to block the wind.
Recently, I was told I was passive-aggressive and had apparently had an expression on my face. First, I can admit that I can be passive-aggressive, especially when I am very irritated. It tends to happen when someone continues making comments about things I am aware of, or they say I am not thinking with common sense, or telling me I am doing something wrong, because I feel under attack. I find it incredibly aggravating when someone tells me what to do and does absolutely nothing to help. I have known my entire life that I do not have a good poker face, so whatever I am feeling will be written all over my face. Therefore, when I am annoyed or frustrated, it shows through my facial expressions. I have never been able to hide my feelings, no matter what they may be. I would guess Vegas is the last place I should ever go

How does it make you feel when someone is standing in a room, not helping with anything, yet will say what needs to be done? Personally, I think if someone has the sense and ability to think, they should be able to do whatever it is they are telling another person to do. One thing I have learned over the years is not to get overly worked up, especially about things I have no control over. We must indeed pick our battles because if we do not, we will be in a never-ending battle. I might not be the most patient person in the world, but I have learned to be much more patient with simple things in life, such as ignorance! I tend to let most things go and just move on, but I cannot help it; I get very frustrated when someone tries telling me what to do and does not help with their orders.
During this recent event, when I was told I was passive-aggressive, I had just put Drano into the bathtub. I am fully aware of the dangers this can pose to our sweet cats, but I was watching to ensure they did not enter the bathroom. I know it may have been easier and maybe even smarter to have closed the door, but I was sitting with the cats, and they did not even try going into the bathroom. Of course, when my husband saw this, he made his thoughts clear about the dangers of Drano and cats. Clearly, he did not understand that I was not letting the cats into the bathroom where they could jump into the bathtub and be harmed. Anyone who knows me knows I would never harm any animals, especially our five amazing cats!
I will admit, not working and waiting for a reply on the disability has caused some ill feelings. It was incredibly frustrating looking for a job, but being unsuccessful, which I think has a lot to do with the job market being terrible. It is not as though I am not qualified or do not have an educational background, because this does not apply to my background or qualifications. Not only is it frustrating searching for a job, but initially, my disability application was denied because they claimed they did not receive a response from those I listed on my application. I know for a fact that my husband did not receive anything to complete, and my mother said she did not either. Of course, I have appealed for their so-called decision because it was unfair and completely wrong. Of course, I believe this all goes back to the incompetent government, destroying the country and every citizen’s life!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site today. Most of this post was me venting about my frustrations because writing is one of the only ways I know to release my emotions. I would rather not talk about these frustrations because I might end up getting loud, and I may say things I will later regret. Some of what I have vented about may be something you have endured and overcome, and if this is true, please let me know how. I hope you had a great week, and you are looking forward to a lovely weekend. In every post I write, I always look forward to reading any comments you have, and this is especially true with what I have shared. I would love this opportunity. I will respond to all comments as quickly as possible! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love
, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes
!
Always, Alyssa
