What’s making you irritable today?

[Nix32]

I am so grumpy. I’m stuck in my own head and everything is irritating. DH is ill and sighing a lot. 18 year old DS isn’t getting as much work as he’d like and it’s stressing me out.

Anyone else?

Liars who smile like your friend whilst pickpocketing you.

Pollen!

Bastard pollen.

Ruins everything. Can't get enough antihistamines in me and all they do is knock me for six.

Can't exercise because I can't breathe because of pollen. Can't sleep because I can't breathe because of pollen. I'm so bloody fed up of pollen.

Me too. I am still having symptoms and I took my one a day too. I don't remember it being this bad!

My dog is being extra needy because my dh (dogs favourite) is working away this weekend! Dog is irritating I can't wait for bedtime 😀

The house fly doing circuits of my sitting room.I'll have to get up and kill it in a minute. Horrible things.

Also dd is visiting because she thinks I need company, she is too loud I think i am overstimulated,

The oppressive heat is doing my head in

I’ve been ill with a horrible cold since Tuesday and I’m beyond fed up of it now. I’m recovering from surgery because of cancer and I went out the house last Saturday to see friends at a barbecue then to our local to watch the footy (it was really quiet so I thought that would be fine while I was still recovering) and I’m just really grumpy that someone who knew I was recovering from this didn’t think to warn me that they were ill and I’ve ended up feeling utterly rotten on top of trying to recover. Literally the only day I was out seeing people as well, it’s making me want to become a hermit until I’ve had the all clear.

Arthritis stopping me moving the furniture after bedroom swap.

Hay fever stopping me tidying the garden.

Heat stopping me thinking straight about anything (hypohidrosis).

Ants have made their way from the outside and are dancing in my bathroom and my internal stop cock is leaking and the external one is buried in dirt and the water board won't be round for 10 days 😬

It's muggy. And I'm tired because I stayed up to watch the Scotland match, and then didn't sleep well in the heat.

DS and DH have got all the windows and curtains shut and are now watching the Netherlands play (with beers) and it feels like a student squat.

Elderly relatives

We ordered a pizza for dinner from a local place that doesn't use Uber eats etc, to try and support them. But they said it would be 45mins - 1hr and it's been 1hr 15 and no sign and I'm really hungry and annoyed

Another one with hay fever, been really bad today 🤧

Also moody because I had “just a couple” of cigarettes about 6 weeks ago, after not smoking for 2 years. Obvs was back on 10 a day before I knew it. Today is day 2 of giving up again and everyone and everything is getting right on my nerves.

Actually nothing for a change!
I love the lovely weather and we had no plans today. Dh ds and I are having a prawn curry for dinner later but we’ve had a lazy day doing a few token jobs (bit of washing and general tidying, dh did some jobs in the garden) but other than that the boys have been watching cricket, I went for a refreshing outdoor swim and have done some reading.
So nothing can piss me off today!

But @Lampsandlightsandotherthings I’m very intrigued, care to share anymore?!

Hating being a parent. Feel like I don’t matter anymore and I am a slave to everyone else’s needs.

Not looking forward to 37c weather next week.

Being text twice about work things on my day off. Now work is back in my head. It’s hard to escape.

The weather

Carers (& I used to be one)
Relatives
Nectarines that are certainly not ready to eat

Recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease at almost 34, almost 3 weeks into no gluten and it's just pissing me tf off. Obv I know it could be so much worse! But omg it's in bloody everything, I have a toddler, I'm wondering how strict I need to be about cross contamination. Places I loved to eat with my family or friends are now so much trickier or no go. I had some little gifts from students leaving my school this week - some I could eat! But celebrations, maltesers, Ferrero Rocher, a nice cupcake, all went to DH. Also think toddler may have brought a bit of a stomach bug home from nursery as his tummy's been a bit upset today and mine has been for days.

Made DH cookies with normal flour for father's Day as a treat and ate a tiny bit of mix off my finger without thinking earlier, feeling sick since. Argh! Irrationally pissed off at everyone who restricts their diet by choice, including myself for stopping eating meat as a child.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Do you have any family support at all, anyone who could give you a bit of a break? That's so tough

Ds1 has just gone out for the night leaving all his lap top decks speakers and power cable out in the garden on the table and what I want to do is just leave it all there and his fault if it rains but I won't I'll clear it all away for him because I'm a mug.

I bought some lovely linen shorts and appear to have shrunk them first time I washed them as they are now extremely tight and unflattering around my generously sized arse.

I'm having a rare good day here but my irritation was when I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep.
