I hope she is well. She has been on my heart.

Just heard about this. My best wishes. You are such a good friend to me

Need my family (parents mostly) to be supportive right now. Thankfully my sister is being great. When my somewhat estranged dad offered to help with something move related, mom unkindly said "good, it's about time someone else in the family stepped up."

I have asked for a lot of help recently but for years I struggled silently until I absolutely could not do it on my own. Mostly because parents act like i'm a bother.

I'm too old to be asking them for help. I wouldn't do it unless I needed to. Feeling alone.

Thanks for this -- I've been thinking of her too and checking to see if she'd posted..

@@ thinking of you, friend.

the farther just came over to just be mean and say mean things . im hurting

((granite))

Hey everyone - I'm OK now, but whatever they gave me last night in the ER knocked me out all day. I'm only up now because junior cat woke me to inform me he was STARVING, STARVING, I TELL YOU, and must be fed NOW. I'm heading back to bed now, but thanks for all the kind thoughts and good wishes.

Oh, and all that got me out of therapy today.

I'm so sorry. I'll sit with you if you like.

Glad to see you back ATAT -- worried about you yesterday!!
Don't listen to the cat! They could have a bowl full of dry food but they want stinky can food.

I have, actually.

Thanks for asking!

I'd settle for a summer.

and hugs to everyone else who wants them!

Hey couch, well I found out this afternoon that I didn't get the Communication Specialist thing at work, they chose someone else. Ah, but that's ok. I thanked the manager for letting me know, and told her I'll be happy to help with any projects that come up if the chosen one needs assistance, and let her know that I understood I didn't have all the qualifications they were asking for but wanted to go for it anyway so they would know what I can do. I didn't get all emotional or anything, where in the past I would have because I used to have such a hard time talking about myself. Therapy has worked wonders for me in that regard. (In a lot of regards, actually!) After I met with the manager, I went out in the hallway and texted t on my way back to my desk cuz she'd asked me to text her when I found out. She replied "Darn!! I was hoping you'd get it!" but agreed it was good that I put myself out there. Today was super busy again, but a good day despite that. Next week and part of the following week I'll be training on a new system, and also today I found out I'll probably be spending 2 weeks in Phoenix in July (JS maybe we'll finally get to meet up!) So that was my exciting day!

I'm feeling really grounded still. I'm not exactly sure what it is that has shifted inside me in the last month and a half, but something sure has!

@@, I'm glad you're home and among the living.

Have you seen Sad Cat Diary?

I don't have pets but this book is absolutely hilarious (I may be coming really late to this since it seems to be everywhere).

I may have to buy that book!!!

... or maybe sit down and write some of my own from my cat's perspectives...

Therapy hangover. I want to cry, run, beg, disappear, sleep, eat. Probably I should journal.

journaling is almost always helpful for me in that condition.

Here's my place. Not finished yet but it gives me peace.

It's not getting out of bed that's the problem. At least, I don't think it is. It's putting on clothes that's so much work. I'm far too tired for that.
Well, maybe getting out of bed is also a problem. Sitting up, specifically. And opening the curtains.

Life is so, so tiring and so much work.

Well, I heard back from my brother on my way into work last night. He said he would pass. I was okay with that. However, when I came out of work, I had another text from him saying he changed his mind and might like to. Lol. So undecided, but so am I a lot. Guess it runs in the family.

Ended up staying up until 1 in the morning texting with him. I got to see his ex-girlfriend's dog and daughters. He hopes they can get back together because he misses playing with the dogs and girls. One dog was so ugly he was cute. The dog's mom was a long hair chichucuaua and the dad was a hairless chichuaua, so the dog has hair on its head and feet, but is hairless everywhere else. Lol.

My mom will be happy that my brother said he is probably calling Monday for an appointment. Whatever.

Well, I better go get ready for a day at CVS. Be back tonight, couch.
