Oh, one more. I was fb friends with someone from high school. We weren't really friends but had a ton of mutual friends. After I had H she kept liking and commenting on everything I posted. So I put her on restricted status so that my stuff wasn't showing up in her feed. She still managed to comment on practically everything I posted. Like my best friends weren't commenting that much. So I unfriended her. Within 2 days, I got a friend request from her. Take a hint, lady.

I imagine her messaging with you with, "HIIIIIIIEEEEE! I don't know what happened but for some reason I noticed we aren't Facebook besties anymore. Just sending you a request so we don't miss each other. Cool? Are we cool? How are you? I hope you're doing well. I MISS YOU!!!"

No message. Just the request. But I imagine something like that going through her head.
One of the walkways at our airport has many displays about our state's epic contributions to beer. I found myself wanting one at 9-something in the morning. Wrong?

Um, no!! That's just your obvious state pride! Way to be loyal to your state, ladydisdain

I present another edition of TEXTS WITH MAMAHARPY.
Me: I am actually taking a mental health day today to do stuff around the house. Mom: Mental health is important! Me: I also made a mimosa because vitamin C, right? Mom: I love the way you rationalize. Me: I didn't go to law school to be bad at rationalizing.
i heard the other moms at the bus stop this morning saying that mom #3 who wasnt there, has the cleanest house on the street. mom #2, who was at the stop and mom #4 (who wasn't at the stop) currently have the most spotless houses that i have seen. i havent seen mom #3 house b/c her kids are assholes to my kid.
but now i am in panic OCD cleaning mode, cleaning like im on meth.
cleaning house on the block, right here! RIGHT FUCKING HERE!!
I need you to come to my house when done. K thanks.

DH and I agreed that we need to eat better. I'm putting together a meal plan and it's so much work.
YES. This is one of my biggest gripes in life right now. H is a good cook, and once upon a time he even made meal plans. But his job consumes all of his mental energy that he can barely remember anything I tell him. He does zero food planning right now, so if I don't plan, we get takeout. It's so infuriating.
In related news, the midterm elections are a mere two weeks away. TWO WEEKS.

My sister just called me collect from lockup. I could not accept the charges to my so-called "pre-paid" phone and it rejected my credit card. It apparently did the same thing to my other sister so I'm guessing that it's them and not me. I'm so upset right now. It's the first time she's reached out to either of us in over a year. I don't want her to think we're rejecting her.

DH, DD, and I spent the weekend in Providence, RI for family weekend at my sister's college. We had a fantastic time, in spite of my parents being in terrible shape, and my mother being a miserable person. My grandparents took us all over the place when I was little. My parents couldn't watch DD on their own for very long. They physically can't keep up.
They got lost on their way to dinner Saturday night because they couldn't see the GPS or tell when to turn. They get lost everywhere, despite having a GPS and 2 smartphones. They are just not in good health, mostly of their own accord.
I tend to be a people pleaser, so while my mom is sitting at dinner with a scowl on her face for whatever reason is inside her head, I'm all bright and happy anecdotes to try to keep the mood light. It is emotionally draining to be around them. They mean well, but it's so frustrating.
I have a distant cousin (married into the family) who I have played a few rounds of words with friends with. She is robotically good to the point where I think she is using an aid of some sort. Or she's just really good. In any case she smokes me everytime. And it's not fun playing her. Plus we are not close in any way. And she's an anti vaxer. And just odd. Anyway. After our last game a month ago she continually sends me requests to play. She starts a game. I don't accept. The game expires and she automatically sends me another request and starts a new game with me (that I don't accept). This has been going on for a month. I am getting annoyed. And the annoying thing is that the app sends me alerts everyday or so reminding me that this person has asked me to play or that she had nudged me. I still use the app to play the game with my sisters but those are the only people I really want to play. She can tell I am playing because I'm assuming my name pops up on some friend leaderboard thing. What do I do?
If this has been going on for a while, I might just tell her you don't want to play because she's so much better at it than you (since she doesn't seem to get the hint). I mean, most people don't enjoy constantly losing, whether it's really because she's better or because she's actually cheating. I would leave out your disagreement with her anti-vax stance for the sake of family harmony and not wanting to get into fights I won't win on Facebook.

I'm sorry mesh.
I have a random vent. Contract negotiation is a huge part of my job. One of my colleagues jumped in on a negotiation without me (totally normal) and promised something that I absolutely can't do. Not even against policy but I could send a request up the corporate ladder. I just can't do it.
I let him have it earlier today but he's not getting why he can't do what he did. I'm pissed off enough about it I might have my boss talk to his boss.

Thanks guys.
We are a barrel of laughs back here today. One member of our group is at a divorce hearing, one had her precious doggie die unexpectedly yesterday (IDK how she's even here but she can't bear to be at home) and then I'm half crying/half angry. We need a do over.
