I can imagine T's response. "I'm happy to do that but Granite must ask. She needs to learn to ask for things."

Its hard. You just have to accept that the relationship is not what it once was because there is nothing you can do as long as that person refuses to tell you what you have done to damage the relationship.
A relationship is like a tree. It can lose a branch and still keep growing.

but truthfully I can't help it.... I feel like he doesn't want to stay late to see me... It took everything out of me to not text... if you just want to cancel tonight that is okay with me .... but I didn't do it.... I just vomitted instead...
I'm sorry it took so much out of you -- but you did great. As someone who used to be pretty good at the "It's ok if you want to cancel [even though you never said that but I am terrified and insecure]," I know how big a deal it is.

Also, random side note... I see you said something about a lil' school just north of Boston. Make sure your S knows ahead of time that it got the nickname "The People's Republic of Cambridge" most deservedly . I should know -- I lived there for 12 years, so if you ever have any questions about it, please do feel free to PM.

Do you see the difference between someone saying....

1. I'm sorry that I made you feel that you were less important that sports and running.

2. I'm sorry that I put sports and running at a higher priority than our relationship/you/us/etc..
Those are both good apologies.

We need to remember that Granite has already told her T how the chair made her feel. That was a HUGE HUGE HUGE brave step for her, and her T needs to REMEMBER IT!

And it is a comfort to know that. I can tell myself: you're feeling morbid right now but that will pass when you've had some sleep and fine weather.

On the flip side, I don't have to come prepared to make people laugh...so that's a plus!

I agree with this.

Mue - I know why you're being asked, I just wonder why your boss is going along. I'm guessing - because she's the boss? It sounds like she's more star-struck than you are. I think you have an excellent idea to prepare by watching you tube of the person's act. What a great niche for you!! And as I have a cousin who is deaf, I am so glad to see this happening.

Hey everyone.

Yous guys blew up the couch today. I have to go back and read when I wind down from work. Remember our first few couches? We would go through them in 5 days.

I was asked to work all weekend and said yes. Why? Because every once in awhile I set out on a mission to try to be Super Nanny. They asked me during one of those moments.

Darn it. Wish I could take that back. I don't have the energy to work all weekend.

Waiting for a friend to meet me. If she wasn't coming, I am sure I would be taking a nap in my car. I exhaust myself.
