I'm proud of myself. I ran into my ex husband again last night. This time, I kept my boundaries up and didn't stop to talk to him. I passed by him twice at the music venue and only just said hello and acknowledged him, but I didn't stop to talk and I think he expected this. He looked at me in surprise as I kept walking. LOL. I let my guard down two weeks ago and promised myself that I won't continue to engage in conversation with him. All he ends up doing is dominating the conversation and manipulating me somehow, twisting facts around and rewriting the history of his poor treatment of me. I don't need to screw up my head any more than it already has been when it comes to him. I will not allow him that kind of access to me. Not again.
And, my mom is having some pretty big hip issues so we may have to cancel our trip to California this week - BOOOOOOO.
And finally, my boss trying to give credit to my colleague for my work really irked me. I am still processing this, but I believe she did that on purpose so that I don't shine at work. She and I had JUST discussed my idea the day before in a meeting, whereby I gave her specific details around my plan and idea. Did she develop amnesia the next day and forget our conversation? I don't think so. I am happy that I called it out and corrected her. I did it very professionally and diplomatically, by writing that I wanted to provide clarification around my idea and the details. UGH.... WTH?!?!? I can't believe she is so threatened by me that she has to try and squelch my shine.
