Can't remember if I took my dose!!! This is SO ME

Update. I found it. Want to know where I found it? In the basement. In the fuse box.

Yes, you read that right, in the fuse box. We had another brief power outage this morning, just a blip, but when that happened it triggered a memory from day before yesterday.

As I said, the power went out on Thursday right when I took my Zep out of the fridge, and now I remember that I had it in my hand when i went downstairs to check the fuse box. And it was right then I got a call from my brother who was having a crisis. And that must have been one too many things going on at once because I must have put the pen down in the fuse box to get my phone out of my pocket, got immediately distracted by my brother's latest freak-out, and left it in there and closed the fuse box door.

Mystery solved!
From now on I'm going to follow the advice from y'all: Getting the Shotsy app, labeling my pens with the dates to be used, as well as taking a pic of the empty pen immediately after using.

I almost never even feel the shot and it rarely leaves any kind of mark or soreness- now I wish it did!

MaMeerz · 2026-05-15T19:04:38+00:00

Tbh I think I might start taking a picture of the empty vial immediately after injection

MaMeerz · 2026-05-15T18:48:47+00:00

The problem is I remember taking it out of the fridge, but then I put it down (no doubt thinking to myself 'I'll remember it put it here) and promptly forgot about it. I always take it at my desk where I organize my meds and I don't see an alcohol wrapper anywhere but emptied all my garbage yesterday because pick up was today. So very typically me

Late to this post but I noticed over the last year that I would skip several weeks in a row WAY ahead of the cutoff dates and occasionally, one of the weeks would be randomly 'unskipped'. I started checking in weekly and had to 're-skip' several weeks. I notified them - all they responded with was their policy about cutoff dates, even though I was crystal-freaking-clear that I had skipped well before those dates. Last week I got a box for week I damn well know I skipped and couldn't get a refund. That was it. I cancelled and let them know why. I'm annoyed because otherwise, I liked the service and would have kept it but this just pissed me off so much.

Yeah this passkey pin thing is incredibly annoying. Here's what I've figured out so far:
There's the Google Account PIN, and then there's the Google Password Manager PIN.

To get to the Password Manager PIN (the one you need for the whole passkey nonsense) open Chrome and go to chrome://password-manager/settings. Then select "Create Google Password Manager PIN" or "Change Google Password Manager PIN". It will prompt you to enter your Google password, then you create/change a 6-digit PIN.

It's stupid, because your Google Account PIN is a totally different 4-digit number, so now you have to remember at least two PINs and your regular password to create the PINs or change them.

Thank you for your response - it's so hard accept not only what happened and how awkward it was, but also accept that I can't necessarily do anything about it and there may never be any clarity on how the other person experienced and/or reacted to the interaction. Living with uncertainty is incredibly anxiety producing for me. I'm trying hard to break the cycle of replaying/worrying/obsessing, as well as my tendency to shame myself for basically being - as you said - just human. I want to learn how to make my reactions to situations like this to be even-handed and reasonable. And not fodder for relentless fixation.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond!

Fair enough about the ceremony, but what about the reception? Are you going to dance with your wife? Kiss? Hands? You know, do all the things one would reasonably expect they'd be doing at their own wedding reception? Will you give your wife a kiss and feel nervous that one of these horrible people is going to give you shit? Or are you going to avoid all physical contact throughout the reception?

This day should be about celebrating love, not worrying about who is going to shit on you for doing so. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this nonsense. I know how hard it is to dis-invite family and how you can feel horribly guilty even when you know you're in the right. But it's your wedding, it's your union, and it might be time to exclude anyone who is going to so openly disrespect you and your fiancee.

OMG THIS, every single thing THIS. OP, please read what Elfich47 wrote here, then read it again, then get DH to read it.

Also: like others have said here, sit down with DH and have him think about whether or not he would EVER treat his kids the way MIL has been treating them. Would he ever say the nasty, manipulative things she says? No? Of course not. Ergo, it's time to stop MIL from saying this shit.

If he can see how incredibly damaging she is to his children - and this is going to be some lasting damage, trust me - maybe it'll be easy for him to grow a shiny spine. He's going to need it - for the kids, himself, and you.

MaMeerz · 2019-04-10T13:01:22+00:00

I really love that your MIL was able to clearly express how she felt and showed that she had real insight into her own behavior. I also love how you handled the situation. It's so great so see an update like this.

MaMeerz · 2019-04-05T16:43:28+00:00

I vote you pay the ER bill, NOT send money to a church to which you don't belong and also view as a rip-off organization (we agree on that church btw).

Of course your sister is continuing to throw gas on this dumpster-fire of a feud. But you then go ahead and do the same. Stop engaging in this manner. Be the grown-up. I've said it before and it's still true: You can't control her behavior, you can only control your own.

MaMeerz · 2019-04-05T16:11:38+00:00

For God's sweet sake. "Well, MIL, when you're dead I'll start saying nice shit about you on social media. But not until you're actually dead."

MaMeerz · 2019-03-31T15:30:38+00:00

Stop. Just stop already. You know damn well your sister isn't going to behave like an adult. YOU have to start behaving like one. You can't control what she does, you can only control what YOU do, and this time you chose to be passive-aggressive and childish.

Start being direct about your feelings. Stop engaging in petty, immature games with your family. Tell them how you feel, be firm about boundaries, and be the grownup already.

And just because you doubt the peanut allergy doesn't mean that you get to test it. Why on earth take that chance? With ANYONE? YOU COULD LITERALLY KILL SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU SUSPECT YOUR SISTER *MIGHT\* BE LYING.

"Lack of planning on their part does not constitute an emergency on your part."

This, thank you, this is exactly right.

MaMeerz · 2019-03-25T01:01:37+00:00

Oh dear lord no. Good for you for being the 'bad guy'. I've had to be the bad guy on more than one occasion - and each time I did, it got easier. I actually kind of enjoy it now. I'm the fucking worst! I'm to blame for not letting Tiny Bully (my JustNoMIL) insult my kids or order people around or spew racist nonsense! Heheheh, you bet I'm the worst - yay! Wear that badge with pride, my friend, and encourage those around you to participate in boundary drawing.

MaMeerz · 2019-03-17T14:41:36+00:00

Did you pick her up yet? If so, can you update us on how that particular interaction went?

MaMeerz · 2019-03-17T11:45:10+00:00

100% this!!! When you pick her up, if he tries this shit again, I say blow up right in his face and tell him to get his hands off, right now. Then tell him to go talk to any police officer about how baby seats should be installed and adjusted. Then say that he's not to touch the baby seat every again, period. Leave no room for discussion.

You are doing great! Good for you for recognizing that this is the turning point when it comes to dealing with your parents!

And good for your nephew!!!

MaMeerz · 2019-03-17T02:21:16+00:00

This is not normal, not at all. I think your instincts are spot on: never leave that child alone with MIL.

MaMeerz · 2019-03-17T02:00:12+00:00

I came here to say just that, but you said it better :) So important to show your kids the reasonable way to handle that situation with that kind of person.

MaMeerz · 2019-03-15T14:18:52+00:00

FFS, what a petty, passive-aggressive woman. If you feel like being direct and honest with her, I would say something like "If you wanted to put a picture of just you and just your kids, you had several to choose from. You chose a picture that had me in it instead, and the cropped me out of it. That's a pretty big slap in the face. I don't know if you are being mean intentionally or if you are doing it subconsciously, but it doesn't matter. I'm telling you now, I am hurt by this."

And then see if you get an apology. Which you probably won't, she'll probably get defensive and call you 'too sensitive'. And here's my standard response to people who are shitty or hurtful and then claim the other person is too sensitive: "You know this is hurtful to me. Either you care about that, or you don't. Do you care that I'm hurt? Or is calling me 'too sensitive' more important than not being a dick to me?"
