Monday Ramblings

[partiallysunny]

Tires are being put on my car Wednesday! This makes me really excited, because my current tires are in really bad shape.

I'm getting freaked out about my high school reunion.

I think I'm going to stop blogging.

[cuddlyevil]

Why are you going to stop blogging?

I made a poor choice in lunch and now my tummy's all gurgly

I have a ton of stuff circling through my head right now. I am so, so glad that I have therapy tonight. I hope she can help me make sense of all of it.

I'm sorry about your tummy

A couple reasons. One being I've gained weight.

Another being I'm sort of flighty. I love baking. But like any hobby I love, I do a lot of it, get burned out, and move on to the next hobby. I've seemed to gone back into sewing at the moment.

Maybe I could "retool" it, but I'm not sure how. I don't enjoy doing tutorials. Taking pictures can be a pain in the ass. I enjoy writing and doing the projects.

[cuddlyevil]

It's okay, it's totally my fault for having that burrito for lunch. I knew better, but ate it anyway

Could you maybe retool it a bit so it's not all baking? But other crafty things too?

[Muddled]

I didn't know you had a blog.

Now that fall is here and my house is not at a constant 80+ degrees, I think I can start baking again. I need to make some good bread.

It sounds like therapy is going well, cuddlyevil. How are you feeling about things?

My wrinkles are getting to me today. It's my forehead.

[partiallysunny]

Would people be interested in just pictures, no tutorials with that sort of thing? Maybe small craft things i could do tutorials for, but I know I'm doing a lot of house and sewing things right now and I don't want to do tutorials on that. But I'd feel sort of obligated to.

[captainmel]

I think you should just add more crafts and sewing to your blog PS. It would be excellent still.

Muddled, I've been thinking about doing more baking too. My problem is I have the worlds shittiest oven and I can't bake anything. I think I might email my landlord about getting a new one.

I am still sick and I just feel like bitching about it. It has been 2.5 weeks. I am pathetic.

Maybe it's time to see your doctor Mel?

Maybe I should. What I'd really like is a partner. I keep bugging my one friend, but she keeps rejecting the idea.

I missed my last appointment due to work stuff and have been feeling it. H & I had our first couples session (with a different therapist) last week, I think it went well but it did bring up some stuff that we'll probably talk about next week. H really hasn't said much about it though.

I want to say my head is clearer, but right now it's not. Some things I thought I had dealt with have popped back up and I am not sure how to deal--figuring that out will have a direct impact on H & I.

I want to go visit the ladies in the NE like tomorrow but deciding which airport to fly into is such a hard decision. I can fly into NYC for cheap but then getting to the other locations by train or bus will cost as much as flying into the airports that are close to them, so we really just need to decide which city we went to hang out in.

I am elbows deep in various lab projects and schoolwork, I am ready for this to be over. 2 months people 2 months and I am free of my undergrad.

Don't be silly. Just stay in NY and make them come to you!

If there's one thing I know about your H, CE, it's that you have to be the proactive one when it comes to discussion. He is an avoider to the nth degree.

Yep.


I have a meeting with the HR team in about 20 minutes. I need to give one of them a lecture about her attitude and lack of respect for the authority figures in the office, and generally being a pain in the ass.  UGH.

You can do it. Be calm, yet firm.


Did you respond to exbf?

True, but this one is all me--not him. I am going over it with my therapist this afternoon.

Ok. So, tell me. Why are you waiting until next week to discuss something that happened in therapy last week? Why wouldn't you talk about it immediately and throughout the week?

[cuddlyevil]

I would rather have a third person there to mediate because of the emotions that surface when it was brought up (it got brought up right at the end of the session). I think it'll be more productive if we discuss in it a session.

[Muddled]

I think that's fair, but if you can only discuss serious issues in therapy, maybe every other week is not enough. Think about it?

I'm glad you have your session this evening. I hope that it helps you to see things more clearly.

[cuddlyevil]

We'll see how the next session goes, he offered us weekly sessions but we're going to try the every other week for now. If we need to bump it up more, we will.

Right now, I'm going every week--just rotating between individual and couples.

[Deleted]

Yep I agree - every other week just isn't enough and I'd look to do at least every week.

It's going to be brrrr chilly this week and I'm so excited about it.

[cuddlyevil]

We're supposed to get flurries here this week!

[bowies]

Um, I want to hang out in the NE. **sniffs armpits**

I need to figure out how to hide someone in my FB feed. She's a friend of a friend and posted about how the media won't cover a lady killing her newborn because it's not a cute puppy. Anti-choicers give me the vapors.

Did you respond to exbf?

I said about 75% of what I wanted to.  The most pointed things (which weren't even bad - like I said one of the reasons she and xxx don't get along is because both of them have strong personalities) she visibly started tearing up and hiding behind her hair.  This tough broad has a sensitive mushy core when cornered.  It was interesting.

I have not responded to exbf.  Might not for a few days.  Might not at all.

Huh? Of course that shit makes the news. Don't hide her, get rid of her. She's irrational.

I think that not responding would be a good decision.

[bowies]

I can't get rid of her, she's part of Book Club. She isn't like this in person, so it's quite strange.

The comments were the worst. Basically their children were going to grow up in a Godless state where children are sacrificed for the liberal cause. Those people I don't know, not ever care to. She's from Texas. I feel like that explains it all. (Sorry PPD.)

[Muddled]

It sounds like she would be happier moving back to TX.

Probably. But her H is in the military, so here she is.

If I am not feeling better in a couple days I will go to the doctor partiallysunny. I'm not feeling really bad I'm just feeling sort of bad but I have been for a long time.

maybe you just need a little something to kick the sick out, you know. An antibiotic or something.

Never hurts to get checked out when you having a lingering sickness.
