I don't think it is weird regardless of whether BF is boyfriend or best friend.

They call you Sheldon.

my neighbours sister is visiting again and poo-poo'd my moggies last time she was here just caught sight of my black smoke cat and now seems determined to see him closer. it will never happen

maybe i should just let it all go, this T thing and move on and never attempt therapy again. but it does feel like i have been rejected and i am still bewildered as to how this all happened.

I just allowed my dog to gorge himself on cold steamed broccoli. He seems very content now and has brought his softest bunny toy into our bed ready for sleep. He requested that I lift him up since bunny is half his size and I guess it's difficult to spring onto the bed under such circumstances. I didn't really think about that when I picked it out. But choosing toys scaled to my dog's size, even if they were available, would be a problem because they would probably be a choking hazard for all of the bigger dogs that I sit. Ah, well.

I have an older niece (through marriage) who is pregnant with her first. So I made her a blanket. The baby is a girl, and my niece loves camo. I think the color of the yarn is called English garden, but it looks a little like camo. The border is more pink than in the picture and the blanket is more pastel. Super excited to see what she thinks!

I'm currently watching voyager as well! They seem to do stuff like this way more than in other Star Treks... not sure why, but they explain eeeverything. It's not 'there's a space anomaly, let's investigate' anymore, it's 'there's a space anomaly - what do you mean? - there's magnetic interference ... - that doesn't sound good - no it does not - let's go and investigate'.

She’s probably trying to come up with a gluten-free endearment just for you.

i deleted my T from my contacts in preparation. I can always add him if he decides to see me again.

Morning, Couch.

Today is significant, so I am letting it unfold. After twelve years, you would think something would happen to the Chris shaped hole in my life. It's the same, and maybe even a little bigger.

a.Maybe theirs ran out of batteries?
b.They wanted the other person to take charge of the situation.

You're doing your best right now NP. The house will get sold when it gets sold and not a day sooner or later..

Possible trigger:

I dreamed that I had a suicide pact with my parents. We were going to take a bunch of pills and just before passing out we would shoot ourselves. We all took the pills. My mother, however, shot herself very shortly after taking the pills. My dad and I were there with her body and there wasn't a lot of blood but her head was caved in. This was a really disturbing dream to me. I guess of note is that I think a lot about suicide and my father is in reality already dead.

That nightmare does sound scary.
I hope you're feeling little bit better.

And for some reason my workplace is in a mall and theres a food court. I was probably still hungry. And i was going to work very early and trying to swim before work.

You're awesome Una!
