When has enough been enough for you, recently?

Enough satisfying? Or, enough, I can’t stand it anymore?

Hey – a mod added “sufficiency” in topics – are they allowed to intervene like that???

@zen it isn’t a very good fix. I’ll make it better.

About two weeks ago. I had my routine medical appointment. I was early because I know it can take awhile to find parking there. The parking lot there is guarded by those mechanical arms that go up and down, allowing one to go through after you get your parking paper thingy ..to which, when you leave, you insert it into the machine and pay for however much time you spent inside the parking lot (which is always an insane amount).
Any ways… the arm thing was not working. I sat there in a line of other vehicles waiting for something to happen and not knowing what was taking so long. About 10 minutes passed when I decided to leave the line and try to find parking along the street. At that point, I was able to see that the machine wasn’t working. After driving around the area for another 10 minutes, not finding a spot, I was quite annoyed. So I drove over the curb and grass, through the trees, to get to the parking lot. At this point, I was late.
Finally, I was in the parking lot ..to which I then drove around for almost another 10 minutes looking for a parking spot that was not “reserved”. I found one. I was about 20 minutes late for appointment now. I figured to myself, “ok, I always have to wait in the waiting room for about 20 minutes anyways, so it should be fine.”
I went up to the receptionist only to find out that they had their appointments mixed up and I apparently did not have an appointment that day. Even though I showed the lovely glaring lady my appointment card that she filled in during my last visit, she proceeded to tell me that this mistake was mine. Me, being the social coward that I am, smiled and nodded then left.
I went back to my vehicle and, not having a ticket to use to open the “out” mechanical arm to leave the parking lot, I drove over the grass and onto a main road on the other side of the building. I was not happy. I decided to get a sundae at DQ to take home – you know, to make it all better.
I went through the drive-thru. There were two cars ahead of me…I found myself waiting for about 10 minutes. I was thinking “what is with the line ups today?!” I then noticed that no one was in the car ahead of me ..just to make sure I wasn’t delusional, I got out and walked up to it to check. No one was there. At that point, a lady had been waiting behind my vehicle so I went to her and told her. She was confused. Then I noticed the car in front of the empty one was also empty…I was like “what the..”. Then I realized that I wasn’t in the drive thru, I was beside it in some little parking space for two employee vehicles…the drive thru road was beside that (on the other side of the sign/speaker/menu thing). I just started laughing.. while the lady behind me realized it too when I started to back up a bit. An employee had come out and saw the line that was forming behind her vehicle ..she smiled and went back in. I got to the pay window after ordering and the employees were laughing. My stomach was aching from laughter at that point.
I went home and opened the bag to find a sundae covered in pineapple (I specifically said NO pineapple) ..so I shoved it in the freezer and saved it for my partner because she loves pineapple.
I then went right back to bed ..I’d had enough. Lol.

sorry that was way longer than intended.. lol

The last several days of weather here have been fantastic and the days are getting longer, with sunset at about 10pm and sunrise around 4.30am. From my new house on the fjord, from my bedroom balcony, I can see both and it gives me a feeling of utter completeness and contentment.

That sounds so beautiful Cazzie. Where are you?

Silly men in positions of power who make your life difficult and seek to undermine your achievements because they are threatened.

I have had enough of the cold,frosty mornings.
I’d like to get my plants in the garden.:)

Me too @lucillelucillelucille .
I want some warm breezy summer days.

@wilma Soon,I hope…I also want to launch my boat this week.I wonder if all the icebergs have melted? XD

I’m almost there. Since just before Christmas, we have been watching a lot of anime. I’m just about over it. It’s not that the shows aren’t decent, it’s just that I’m starting to miss watching live people act! And I really don’t like when we watch the subtitled ones because I often do something else when the TV is on. With the subtitles, I have to keep looking at the darn screen. I’m about to declare one night a week an “anime free zone.” LoL!

I’ve had enough with my mother-in-law being overly sensitive and controlling. I’m sick of it and decided not to go along with her whims and mood swings anymore. I tried being nice about it, but finally I couldn’t stand it any more and snapped at her. She wasn’t speaking to me for a while and is still a bit short with me but I don’t care any more. My husband agrees with me and has tried to talk to her about her strange reactions to things with no success. We both feel much better since we decided to ignore her if she gets an attitude when we tell her no or don’t agree with her.

Not really caring if she gets offended when I like a different brand of salad dressing than she does or ask her to not smoke in my car when the kids are with us is such a huge relief. I’ve never seen someone make such a big deal out of trivial crap in my life.

I interpreted this as a negative question – it seemed like a sense of frustration more than a sense of satisfaction to me. Maybe that says more about me than about the question, though.

Frustration: Last night I was exhausted as hell, ready to just climb in bed and sleep forever. Then I discovered I had a leak in my ostomy and had to go change the whole appliance. THEN I discovered the leak had seeped into what’s supposed to be a sterile packing I had applied to my wound earlier in the day, so I had to repack the wound too. I was going crazy.

Satisfaction: Mother’s day was a fabulous day for my whole family; it was the first full day home from the hospital for us, the weather was beautiful, we were all feeling good, and I so appreciated having all those little things go right for once.

@Mariah I still don’t know for sure the OP’s intent with this question. Can go either way. You made me think it is like one of those psych experiments where the paticipants don’t realize what is really being tested.
