We talked about emotions from last week. She told me I sell myself way too short. She told me she thought a lot about me. There was more.. But it's hard. I'm here, I survived the job crisis last time and I'll survive it again. I told her I wonder if H wants out and wants to lose the condo so he can get away from me and blame it on work. So.. I can't say another word to him about it. Just go about my life like nothing changed and leave him to figure it out.
wow not saying anything to him would be so hard for me. i can understand the pulling back and all when you talk to him about it but i wouldn't think ignoring it would help either. kind of strange. i am glad she had such nice things to say about you .i do bet you sell yourself short.

So I look at the phone a little longer because I'm crabby he made me cold, and then he starts sighing these great huge gushing sighs, blowing his morning breath/onion breath from last night in my face. So I put the phone down and arrange the snuggling so he cannot breathe in my face and then he rolls over, with his back to me, like he's going back to sleep. Okay. I wait a while, and then pick up the phone again and he immediately rolls back over and tries snuggling again. WTF? ARE YOU FIVE YEARS OLD? IS THE PHONE A MAGNET? WTF? Back to huge sighs even after I put the phone down. bleah. Then he gets up and makes me breakfast, which he knows I love. ???? so confused.
SPECULATION:

He has a fantasy about how it's going to be, and if you don't make exactly the right response, he feels rejected. But then the fantasy starts up again.

Thanks Granite-it will be hard, especially after his stupid comment yesterday, but I gotta try and see if it works. If so, she will have earned the "Super T" title.

To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization that I can’t control another.
To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it’s to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies.
To let go is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to criticize, or regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can do.
To let go is to fear less, and to love more.

wow i like it. it makes a huge amount of sense. thanks for posting it MKAC

Getting ready to head out to group T.....with a migraine, of course. I hate going to group T when I have a migraine, because I tend to stay quite silent. It's difficult to have the energy to participate which leads me to feeling like a failure.

I will try to have a positive attitude, though. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.....

Jersey - Vent away! It might just be helpful to get it all out there and get some support in the process!

Healed - UGH. What a mess!

Granite - Your friend sounds like a piece of work. I hope you find your way out! I know I find it difficult to escape those kinds of friendships because I cower in guilt. I've gotten better at it since working on it through T.

At the DMV. Good god, I forget in between how truly horrible it is to do this. The line is huge, the guy next to me keeps snotting all over his hand. One guy walks in and said that he was not cutting, he just needed to give them a form. He then goes up and it becomes incredibly obvious that he IS in fact cutting and needs to do CDL paperwork AND a test. If you're going to cut, ****ing OWN it.

Hi all.
It's finally above zero here... well at least it was when I got out of work.

Jersey - the couch is a great place to vent when we need to be quiet elsewhere.

MKAC - I have to go to the DMV this year and I am dreading it also. They open at 7:30am and there is always a line waiting for them to unlock the door.

Healed - sorry about your "welcome" home. Yuck.

Hi everyone else... I need to do some t journaling tonight.

Hey all...long, long day. Just catching up...sorry for all the woes.

DMV...ICK!
Granite...I hope you can extract yourself. Sometimes people are so lonely, but you have to take care of you.
Sconnie...are you feeling any better?
Healed...yuck. Hope the rest of your night goes better.
Sila...bad dream, glad your t called.
Jerz...vent about H here, and your t is probably right, nagging doesn't work, but it must be so frustrating for you.

I have been very bad. I made some vegan choco chip cookies. They are yummy, and I keep eating them. I actually have had to use my electronic pancreas a few times. Guess my stomach is getting going again...lol. Prednisone...yikes.

Wiki-
Yes, thank you for asking. Not sure what was going on with me yesterday. I used my light box this morning and that seemed to help some. And I did that workout video which helped too...except now sitting down and standing up are not comfortable. Darn lunges and squats!

Enjoy your cookies I found a piece of chocolate beet cake in my freezer. It's health food.

Ha...yes, if it's got beets in it it's health food. And vegan choco is healthy too.

Granite, I used agave, so not a big spike, and they are salty more than sweet...but I used coconut oil instead of butter and that gives them this tangy sweetness. Crunchy too. But I am watching my levels. No urgi visits for me.
