There's Nothing Else I Need To Say

All day I've felt like I'm at war with my hormones. For whatever reason my period is late, and the roller coaster ride of emotions is pissing me off more than anything. Being at the mercy of my flippant moods is making me even more short tempered, and I don't like feeling that way. At least I know it's simply a dip in estrogen, and not the shitty pessimistic attitude of the past. This too shall pass, and probably very soon.

Getting into vegan wars on Facebook is probably a bad idea with my current lack of grace and self-control being at a personal low. So, I'll say what I need to say here, where there aren't any assholes to contradict me! On a humor post some dick decided to announce that any vegan "breeders" couldn't actually be vegan. Implying that if you've had children you were and egotistical narcissist, because more humans mean less animal habitat, and we're animal activists. So what in the actual fuck am I supposed to do about the kids I had before going vegan? I suggested pre-vegan genocide of all the children. He said I was taking it too far and then back pedaled and said it's fine, just don't have any more. Whatever dude. He's getting eaten alive in the thread. There's nothing else I need to say, everyone else is covering all the bases. I know I've ranted about this before, but I HATE dealing with these kinds of people. I don't have other vegans in my life, so I don't want to leave all the groups I'm a part of, but it gets so exhausting dealing with these militants. Most of the time I just block them, but it's almost a daily occurrence. I try to have an intellectual debate before resorting to blockage, it just isn't always possible. Then I end up getting worked up and irritated. I don't need that bullshit in my life. It would appear that it's totally acceptable to define veganism however you wish to. It's okay to eat Oreos made with palm oil that destroys orangutan habitat, but don't have kids and teach them to live vegan, because that's bad for the animals! If I can be perfectly honest, I don't even like animals that much. I don't want to contribute to their pain and suffering, but if I had to choose people over animals, people win. Do no harm, but that doesn't mean I have to start loving spiders and letting them live in the house. It's so ludicrous.

I have to go into work tomorrow and do some training. I don't know how long, but probably 6-8 hours. I didn't want to, but we've got some new associate onboarding and training materials launching next month and I need to go through it all before I can facilitate the new curriculum. I'd rather stay home and clean my bedroom and bathroom like I'd planned. I've never been good at being housewife, but I'm feeling like I'd be better at it now than I have been in the past. Retirement age is so far off...

Snookums and I hung out in the living room after the kids went to bed. He was doing an online discussion at his new office/school space, and I just hung out with Dingo (our Chihuahua) and Zephyr (one of my cats) on the couch. Now that the living spaces of the house have been jazzed up a bit, I'm liking spending time out there again. Instead of retiring to my room as soon as I can. It's amazing what a little redecorating and repurposing can do!
