You joke, but the local dollar stores have ALWAYS put store stickers on EVERY bottle of Tide they carry, along with the motor oil and such. People aren't reselling it, they're just hoarding it and using it when they need it.

I don't joke.
The grocery store where I used to work would get broken into almost once a year on Memorial/Labor Day (I forget which). The thieves would always steal all the Hennessy. Just the Hennessy. No, I'm fairly certain it was not the owner pulling a fast one, either.

My car was just the poor innocent bystander victim of a car crash at a four way stop. Hoping it's just body damage, but can't really drive it around now until we get the tire looked at. Thankfully it was very low speed, but now I'm annoyed. My car isn't even a year old yet.

Also mad at myself because all I could remember was that the cars hit each other, even though it happened right in front of me. :/

Sigh, the worst part of basically being the collateral damage of this accident is that I'm sure both of the other driver's insurance companies are going to be annoying the crap out of me about what happened because I don't give a shit who is at fault, and I'm basically the only witness. *grumble*

Also I need to go to the dentist in 10 minutes and I hate the dentist. :(

My last appointment was in october. My Dentist is a lot more happy with me since I took up flossing as a daily pastime.... 3 cavities in one visit last year was a real wake-up call.

My dentist is a nice guy, I just have a lot of anxiety about going. Also, x-rays are very traumatic for me because I gag at just the thought of them. -_-

I really need to have some teeth extracted and some fillings replaced, but I keep putting it off because I can't afford to be out of work for a week and have no backup.

Fuck my not being able to remember what happened in this stupid accident. Because of course both other vehicles are claiming they stopped and had right of way. But of course my brain deleted EVERYTHING that happened prior to seeing them crash in a fit of panic. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This shit is going to drag on forever.

Of course you manage to get involved in the seemingly ONLY crash where somebody doesn't have a dash cam or there isn't a drone overhead or a security camera nearby. That's just your luck.

Now, if this were Russia, there'd be 10 dash cam videos, 2 pedestrians claiming to be hit and it would all be on YouTube already.

I mean, I live in a small town and this accident happened literally half a mile from my house, so I don't expect much.

I went for a cleaning yesterday, too! Hurray for waiting until the end of the year for that 100% covered cleaning! I'll bet they get slammed in December.

So I started talking with my ex again. We cleared a lot of things up, actually, forgiving each other for a lot of things. We played with the idea of dating again, to try things again, even made out a few times. But I think we both realized whatever we had is gone. She's actually now pursuing something serious with a guy she's been seeing and...I'm oddly okay with it. It seems that her seeing me got him jealous and got him thinking about what he wanted from her, which was something more serious.

The weird thing is...I'm actually happy for her. Of the things she's told me about him, he seems like a really great guy. He's a musician and even wrote some lullabies for her son. I see the way she smiles when she gets a text from him and I don't want to get in the way of that.

So...we're going to try being friends. I've never done well being friends with exes, but all of this has given me a lot of closure.

(For the record, I asked her if I could post about this and even showed her what I wrote. I kept it somewhat vague on details and kept names out of it. She said it would be okay.)

Meanwhile for me, I don't know. I'm not ready for a relationship and I'm actually thinking of maybe doing something more casual. I've always been a monogamous guy, though, so I don't even know how it works.
