As for your mother, can't say I blame you for rejecting her invitation. She sounds quite toxic! Nothing wrong with just relaxing and watching a movie. |
Thanks for the birthday wishes scaredandconfused!
He was diagnosed before I was a teenager so it's odd how triggering that traumatic childhood event is for me now, so many years later. I'm hoping I have a clean bill of health. I spent New Years day at the E.R. with a very inflamed gallbladder (they couldn't find any stones), that I am convinced is due to my skyrocketed stress levels around my birthday, since I don't eat spicy or greasy food or drink alcohol.
The 2nd part-time job I had, I lost, because I had severe asthma attacks after my shifts so the operations manager said she didn't think I was a good fit. Oh well! Onward and upward. And forward. Paying bills late seems to be the theme of my life.
Yes, she's quite the toxic source in my life. My aunt -- her sister -- shames me every chance she gets about our Terms of Endearment, which used to bother me but now, I just accept that is how I'm labeled. Ok, it irritates me a little bit.
I'm super excited. My favorite movie from the 1980s is playing on the big screen one-night only, a few days after my birthday, that's less than the actual price of a regular movie, so that is my birthday present to myself.
